Sauna in Ylläs Outdoor Week
Biking, beach sauna, and reindeer stew
Cycling to Jokijärvi wilderness cabin for self-service dining and sauna.
Ylläs Experiences’ Jokijärvi wilderness cabin and beach sauna are heated for self-service cyclists, or even runners, from 15:00 to 19:00 (six people in the sauna at a time). After the sauna, enjoy hand-made reindeer stew, served from around 16:00 to 20:00. Bring your own drinks. You can drop off your sauna gear at our point from 10:00 to 12:00, and we will transport it to Jokijärvi for you.
We recommend a gravel or mountain bike. There is no single correct route to get there, so you can plan your own. You can ask for tips at the Ylläs Experiences point. The route is not marked – tips are available upon request. The distance is 20–25 km.
The price includes the beach sauna, reindeer stew dinner, and return transportation for you and your bike to Jouni’s store, but not a rental bike. Transport runs approximately every hour.
This special trip is available only during Outdoor Week!

Peaceful evening sauna sessions after the fair bustle
At the Rönölä fair, evening sauna sessions begin after the fair has ended and the area has quieted down, allowing you to enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of a summer evening. Now you have the opportunity to relax in the pleasant warmth of two different saunas. In addition to the smoke sauna, we will heat the adjacent authentic logging sauna, which has a vat washing facility. These traditional wood-heated saunas offer gentle and soothing steam. From the beach pier, you can take a dip in the refreshing waves of Lake Luosujärvi.
