Ice bathing with sauna

Warm up in the sauna first, then dare to take the plunge into the ice hole, a tradition practised in northern Sweden for generations.

The contrast between heat and cold calms you in a way you didn't expect beforehand. No performance, no records: just feeling what it does to your body.
