In winter, you can enjoy the warmth of Rovaniemi's best sauna and refresh yourself in the cold waters of the Kemijoki River! The legendary Summer Restaurant & Sauna has expanded its operations in winter to become WNTR Sauna, offering a cozy lounge for both local residents and visitors traveling to the north.

The sauna is located next to the Ounasvaara ski resort by the banks of the Kemijoki River, just a five-minute drive from Rovaniemi city center. The restaurant and sauna can be found in the grounds of Lapland Hotels Ounasvaara Chalets by the river.
