Wellness & Sauna

Vellamo’s traditional sauna programmes respect the ancient Fenno-Ugric nature wisdom, Finnish folklore and traditional herbal medicine. We follow the changes of the seasons by using seasonal plants, herbs and flowers and other natural remedies in the sauna rituals. Vellamo’s 3-4-hour herbal sauna program is ideal for 2-8 persons. We’ll take a slow walk into a nearby forest and gather herbs for our footbaths as well as tree branches for our personal energising power whisks. You will learn about the importance of nature in Finnish culture, Finnish folklore as well as herbal medicine and the powers of herbs and plants. We will start our aromatic herbal sauna with facial masks and foot-baths. Afterwards you’ll feel relaxed and as if you were born again!
