What should I bring?
Swimwear, towel, warm clothing for afterwards and non-slip sandals or slides.
How long do I stay in the ice?

How often should I cold plunge?
Many people start with 1–2 sessions per week. If your body responds well, a membership and fixed slots can help you build a regular routine.

Can I come just for the sauna?
Yes. Book the Wellness Room just for the red-light and infrared cabin, without using the ice bath. Our cabin is an infrared sauna, not a traditional Finnish sauna.
Is red light dangerous for the eyes?
Bright light can feel uncomfortable. Close your eyes and do not look directly at the light source. Follow the cabin safety instructions and use eye protection if the manufacturer requires it.
