Tupaswilla Excursion on Friday June 6th 2025
Welcome to Tupaswilla courtyard in Laukaa, 30 minutes drive from Jyväskylä city. We offer a memorable day for you within our area of expertise: Finnish cultural traditions and the Finnish smoke sauna experience with natural peat treatment. Beautiful surroundings and charming log houses create a relaxing atmosphere –welcome!
The World’s Largest Smokesauna
Our smoke sauna takes 150 persons in. This is a unique building made of old logs and recycled materials. There are separate changing rooms and showers for men and women; the sauna room is common with swimsuits on. There’s a cosy fireplace on the porch. Swimming in the forest pond with cold springs is refreshing throughout the year.
The Tupaswilla smoke sauna was chosen as the best smoke sauna in Finland 2016 by the International Smoke Sauna Club. The quality of the humid heat is special due to the huge oven. It weighs about 5000 kilos and takes 5-6 hours to heat using birch and alder wood.
Natural Peat Treatment in the Warm Sauna
Natural peat treatment is a health promoting experience. The ancient peat, dug from a deep swamp, is 100% natural ingredient. It contains various nutrients and minerals. Peat used as a mask on your skin helps to clean and soften the skin as well as to clean metabolic waste from the body. Remember hydration: drink 1-2 litres of water before peat sauna treatment.
Craft Demonstrations
Have a guided walking tour through the Tupaswilla courtyard and see the artisans at their work.
There are souvenir products for sale, including smith work, dyed yarn, and cosmetic peat care products by Lehtopeat-shop.
