Solid Sauna is the seaside sauna at Vuosaari Paddling Centre in East Helsinki, where you can enjoy the heat all year round and take a dip in the Baltic Sea between rounds – in summer and winter alike.

Saturday: paddle first, then sauna
Our guided winter kayaking tour departs on Saturdays at 10:00–12:30 and the Saturday sauna session starts right after it at 12:30. Out of the drysuit and straight into the warm löyly – the perfect end to a winter day on the Baltic. You can add the sauna session to your winter kayaking tour booking as an option.
Fatbike in winter, water sports in summer
In winter, combine the sauna with a self-service fatbike rental and ride straight from the paddling centre to the beautiful trails of Meri-Rastila, Kallahdenniemi and Uutela. In summer there is even more to choose from, as the centre's kayaks, SUP boards, canoes and rowing boats are available for rent – paddle out into the archipelago and come back for the sauna.
The same areas are great for walking or trail running before your sauna. Ask us for trail running tips!
