Winter Swimming in Roslagen
In Roslagen you have all the opportunities for winter bathing! Here you can combine your winter bath with sauna and spa if you wish!
Why Winter Bathing?
The popularity of cold water bathing has exploded in recent years, and Roslagen is one of the best places to try it. The icy water provides an immediate adrenaline rush, and most people describe a sense of clarity and well-being afterwards. If you combine the dip with a sauna, the experience is even more enhanced.
Badholmen at Marholmen
On Marholmen – accessible by car an hour from Stockholm – you'll find Badholmen where you can book a cold water dip with a jetty and ladder to enter the water. After the dip, you can warm up in the adjacent sauna.
Domaruddens Sauna at Drängsjön
Domaruddens wood-fired sauna is open to the public year-round. Drängsjön lake is located next to the sauna, inviting winter dips. One of the more accessible locations in the region.
Söderarms Lighthouse, Torskär
On the island of Torskär in the outer archipelago, there is a sauna housed in an old Second World War bunker – and the opportunity to swim with the sea on three sides. A unique and remote experience for those who want to combine cold water bathing with truly wild archipelago surroundings.
Simbadets Camping, Österbybruk
In Österbybruk, Simbadets camping maintains an open ice hole of approximately 14 x 14 metres during the winter season. Sauna is available to book on site.
Tips for Your Winter Bath
- Never bathe alone – always have company nearby.
- Stay in the cold water for only a short time, especially the first times.
- Have dry clothes and a warm drink ready immediately afterwards.
- Book a sauna in advance when offered – the best way to finish a cold water dip.
