Thu 5.11.2026
14:00 - 21:00

At Suolahti swimming hall and at Äänekosken uimahalli VesiVelho, once a month on Thursdays you can enjoy a birch-whisk sauna.

For autumn 2026, the following birch-whisk sauna days remain at the swimming halls

- Thu 5 Nov 2026, 14:00-21:00

- Thu 3 Dec 2026, 14:00-21:00

The pools do not sell birch whisks, so please bring your own.

When you use a whisk, first sit in the sauna for a moment to let the skin warm and soften. When it starts to tingle and the sweat flows, it's time for the whisk.

Start whisking lightly, then harder if you wish. Birch leaves contain saponins that act like a mild soap and help gently wash away oils and dirt from the skin.

Whisking also increases circulation and warms the skin. It removes dead skin cells, and using a whisk may ease muscle and joint pain.

Welcome to the birch-whisk sauna!
