Book a wilderness sauna.

How does it work?

Please book a session for the sauna using our booking engine, each sauna session will be 2 hours long to allow plenty of time for the sauna to heat up!

  1. Using the Sauna

    • To light the fire for the woodburner please use the instructions provided here.

    • Logs have been provided for you for the sauna.

    • Once the fire is lit, wait for the hut to reach the desired temperature. Please allow approximately 45 minutes for the sauna to heat up to a comfortable temperature.

    • If the temperature inside the sauna exceeds 90 degrees Celsius, exit immediately for safety.

    • Please be careful not to keep loading up the wood burner during the session, as the sauna will get extremely hot very quickly.
