Incredible and memorable!
Highly recommend! We only had 3 days in Sweden; so, we had to carefully pick our activities and itinerary. This easy forest hike, hot sauna/cold plunge experience, and fireside-cafe lunch were altogether a fantastic experience! To start, Alexandra is a gem. She picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel, on time, and we didn’t have to navigate through any transportation issues. Alexandra was a great host — informative, helpful, willing to share her own experiences, asked questions, good communicator (Whats App beforehand and excellent English in person), very kind, and has a genuine passion for her work and sharing nature with others. It’s a private excursion, so it was just me, my husband, and Alexandra. It was only a short drive outside the city of Stockholm and we were in a beautiful forest with a glacial lake. A very scenic and peaceful excursion from the city. The hot sauna/cold plunge was a short drive away at another nearby lake. Our thought was, “when in Sweden, do as the Swedes do.” It was a very fun, very memorable highlight of our entire two-week trip! My husband and I had done hot sauna before, but neither of us had ever done a cold plunge before. While a bit nervous, we both did it with some bravery and gentle assurance from Alexandra who did it with us. The hot sauna was HOT, the cold lake was literally FREEZING, and the experience was incredible! We did it for two rounds (hot, cold and again hot, cold). We’d absolutely do it again! You should definitely try it! The lunch after was on the same grounds in a rustic counter-service cafe with delicious hot food menu options. It was the perfect way to wind-down from the activities. A 10/10 experience. If it sounds even mildly interesting to you, then you’re in great hands with Alexandra and you’ll love this Stockholm adventure!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your lovely company and Im so proud of you for the cold plunges!! All the best wishes and happy returns!

Highlight of Our Trip to Scandinavia
We went to Sweden in the winter looking for beautiful snowy hikes, saunas, cold plunge, and great food. This tour had everything we were hoping to find during our entire trip! Alexandra is an incredible guide; knowledgeable, calming, fun. She has a clear appreciation for nature that made for a very peaceful experience. Highly recommended.
Response from the operator: Im so happy you found me and joined in! Happy travels and warm welcome back ⛄️

Amazing hike, sauna, plung, food and company!
We had a wonderful time in this tour. It was the best of our trip in Stockholm. The company and conversations with Alexandra were super nice, the hike was amazing and the plung into the cold water after the sauna was surprisingly good. Also, don’t skip the food because it is delicious.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful review and company! Warm welcome back 💦💛

Sauna and Cold Plunge, Forest Hike and Fireplace Lunch - Private: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Stockholm.
How much does Sauna and Cold Plunge, Forest Hike and Fireplace Lunch - Private cost?
+
Prices start at $352 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Stockholm usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Sauna and Cold Plunge, Forest Hike and Fireplace Lunch - Private take?
+
Plan for about 4.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Stockholm is not rushed.
Is Sauna and Cold Plunge, Forest Hike and Fireplace Lunch - Private worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 18 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Stockholm, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Sauna and Cold Plunge, Forest Hike and Fireplace Lunch - Private?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Sauna and Cold Plunge, Forest Hike and Fireplace Lunch - Private suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Sauna and Cold Plunge, Forest Hike and Fireplace Lunch - Private?
+
Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Stockholm can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Stockholm and add a light layer if any part of the 4.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Sauna and Cold Plunge, Forest Hike and Fireplace Lunch - Private start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Stockholm within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Stockholm?
+
On Outty we rank every Stockholm experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Stockholm: Walking Tour of the Old Town, Best of Stockholm: Small Group Walking Tour (Max 10, 3 Hours), Electric Boat Ride in Stockholm with Live-Guide. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Stockholm?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Stockholm?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Sauna and Cold Plunge, Forest Hike and Fireplace Lunch - Private?
+
Included: Boutique experience hosted by Alexandra; Private transportation; Towel, slippers and padlock; Snacks; and Lunch. Not included: You need to bring swimwear. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 135 listed pickup locations in and around Stockholm. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Sauna and Cold Plunge, Forest Hike and Fireplace Lunch - Private offered in?
+
