Christmas in Himos leisure and ski-center is spent in holiday cottages with a private sauna. An inseparable part of Christmas eve tradition for Finns is the Christmas sauna. The tradition has stayed quite the same for hundreds of years and it echoes the memories and beliefs from the time when peasants and cottagers inhabited the land. The traditional smoke sauna of Himos is being heated and everyone is invited to enjoy the soothing heat in the mystic darkness of the black sauna.
The centerpiece of the celebration, a natural Christmas tree and a basic set of decorations is brought to the doorstep of your cottage upon your check in, so you can decorate it indoors.
