Ainolan Sauna

A private sauna booking includes two hours of exclusive use for up to 6 people.

Yes. We’ll light the wood-fired sauna in advance so that it’s hot and ready for you at the start of your booking.

Your booking includes two hours of private use of the wood-fired sauna, towels, shower and changing facilities, drinking water and access to Ainola’s pier and Lake Päijänne.

Bring your swimwear and anything you’d like to eat or drink during your visit. Flip-flops, sliders or similar footwear are also a good idea for walking between the sauna and pier. You’re welcome to bring sausages or other food to cook on the grill. Towels are provided, so there’s no need to bring your own. You may also want to bring a robe or something comfortable to change into.

There is an indoor mixed changing room, shared by everyone in your group — there are no separate men’s and women’s changing rooms.

There is a shower inside the sauna as well as basins for traditional Finnish washing. The sauna also has a wood-fired vesipata, which heats water for washing in the traditional way. If you’d like to use it, just let us know in advance and we’ll fill and light it ready for your arrival.

Absolutely. You can swim directly from Ainola’s pier using the swimming ladder, or jump in from the end, where the water is around 5 metres deep. There is no sandy beach at Ainola; Korpilahti’s public swimming beach is around 130 metres away if you prefer to enter the water from a beach.

Yes. The sauna is exclusively yours for the duration of your booking. Ainola’s pier and Lake Päijänne are shared spaces, so you may see our B&B guests using the pier or swimming during your visit.

There is free parking on site at Ainola, just behind the sauna. You can also park at the public Ainolanranta harbour and walk through the gate into the grounds

Yes. Ainola has a guest mooring at our pier, so you’re very welcome to arrive by boat. We’re also just a few minutes from Korpilahti Harbour.
