Birch whisk sauna sessions at the swimming halls

Thu 3.12.2026
14:00 - 21:00

Once a month on Thursdays, Suolahden uimahalli and Äänekosken uimahalli VesiVelho offer sauna with a birch whisk (vasta).

For autumn 2026, the remaining birch whisk sauna days at the swimming halls:

- Thu 5.11.2026 14:00 - 21:00

- Thu 3.12.2026 14:00 - 21:00

Birch whisks are not sold at the cash desks, so please bring your own.

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

Start whisking gently, then continue more firmly if you like. Birch leaves contain saponins that act like a mild soap and help wash away oil and dirt from the skin gently.

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

Welcome to the birch whisk sauna!
