Winter Wilderness & Sauna Adventure with Canadian Wilderness Adventures

Duration

3 hours

About

Experience the sensations of the ultimate adventure in nature as you snowshoe along the powerful Medicine Trail and then bask in the heat of our wilderness saunas. A guide will lead your trek through this wild place of beauty to the barrel saunas. Breathe in the magical air, bask in the natural medicinal energies of the old-growth forest, achieve heightened levels of awareness, detox in the wood-fired heat of the saunas, and feel your soul fully awaken as you connect to the natural world. The Finnish, Icelandic, and Norwegian cultures have long known the long list of health benefits of this Nordic practice of combining exercise, forest therapy, and wood-fired saunas.
