At Sauna Genève, we combine the authentic Finnish tradition of löyly — the gentle wave of steam created by pouring water on hot stones — with the artistry of the Aufguss ritual from Central Europe.

This unique blend of cultures makes every visit special: the deep heat of the wood-fired stove, the shared experience of steam, and the guided Aufguss sessions that engage all your senses. Few places bring these two traditions together side by side, and in Geneva you can enjoy them both in one unforgettable winter experience at Sauna Geneve.

  • Finnish löyly steam tradition
  • Central European Aufguss rituals
  • Two cultures, one unique Sauna Geneva experience

In 2020, the sauna culture of Finland was recognized by UNESCO as part of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

Perfect after tennis, skiing or winter walk.

I visited the sauna yesterday evening with friends and really enjoyed the experience. I think that it is really the first sauna of its kind in the Geneva area, and it brings a little bit of Finland to Geneva. The sauna temperature was perfect and the scents that Marja uses really transport you to a tranquil Scandinavian setting. A great place to go to let your worries melt anyway and to relax your muscles after a long day at work. An experience not to be missed!

I had a wonderful time in the sauna! The place is clean, well-maintained, and offers a soothing yet warm atmosphere. The heat is well distributed, allowing you to completely relax without any discomfort.
After a few minutes, you really feel the beneficial effects: your muscles relax, stress disappears, and your skin becomes softer. I particularly appreciated the natural scent of the wood and the perfectly regulated temperature. Marja is welcoming and attentive, always ready to explain how it works or advise on the duration of sessions.
I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a moment of relaxation and well-being, whether after a workout or simply to recharge. An experience to repeat without hesitation!
