Perfect weather for ice swimming

Now that the extremly cold days are over the weather is quite perfect for some truely Finnish Avantouinti. That means swimming in a frozen lake. 

ice swimming in Kuusijärvi

One perfect spot for this is Kuusijärvi in Vantaa. Warm up first either in one of the last smoke saunas you can find in the Helsinki area or in a normal electric sauna. When you are warm enough, grab your towel and flipflops (very important) and head to the ice hole for a dip.

Yes, the water is pretty cold but you will feel really good afterwards. Don't forget to warm up in the sauna afterwards again.

For more information on Kuusijärvi and how to get there check out the website.

Have a great Sunday and a wonderful winter!

  4. The combination of a refreshing outdoor experience and a warm, comfortable indoor space sounds perfect for winter. I also like how features of a home can make a big difference during cold weather. For anyone interested in improving a property's insulation and comfort, this resource and this website offer useful information about double-glazed windows and their benefits for homes.

  5. This post captures how much a location can shape an experience, especially when nature, recreation, and a comfortable environment come together. The same idea applies to choosing a home or investment property, where access to natural surroundings and lifestyle amenities can add real value. For anyone exploring property in Northern Iran, the region offers many opportunities to combine nature with everyday living.

  6. Ice swimming and sauna are great ways to support an active, healthy lifestyle. For those interested in improving their body shape and fitness or taking care of their appearance, professional beauty salon services can also be a useful complement to a balanced wellness routine.
