Sauna & cold bath 80 metres underground
Experience the world’s most powerful sauna through the unique Lady of the Mine sauna ritual, created as a tribute to her presence that has played an important role throughout history. Join a guided sauna experience where her mystique and wisdom will make you forget time and space for a while.
For centuries, the Lady of the Mine has observed life within the mine. Legend says she watched over the tunnels and could warn of coming dangers or reveal where great discoveries could be found. Today, the treasures are no longer ore in the rock – the richness now lies in the mine’s adventure experiences, where the sauna ritual is the latest discovery.
An epic contrast to life above ground. Your senses will travel from heat to cold, from soft to hard, from masculine to feminine, while endorphins flow through your body. Feel the history and power in the mountain walls – and wonder how you will ever enjoy an ordinary sauna again!

How does the tour work?
The Lady of the Mine sauna ritual begins above ground, where your guides conduct a safety briefing and explain what to expect. Once properly equipped and ready, you descend underground.
You walk down via the stairs in the personnel shaft and continue through long tunnels and vast rock chambers that will leave you in awe. The descent takes approximately 45 minutes – a manageable challenge where you gradually adapt to the mine environment while the guide shares fascinating details before you arrive at the sauna.
There, you change into your swimwear in the glow of old mining lanterns.
The sauna master then guides you through the Lady of the Mine sauna ritual for approximately two hours. The ritual includes different elements designed to stimulate and enhance your senses, allowing you to experience both warmth and cold in a safe environment. History and legend blend with music and Aufguss rituals.
Before the ritual concludes, you enjoy locally produced delicacies and prepare for the continued adventure along new paths out of the mine. There are even a few surprises along the way back up, which takes approximately 45 minutes.
Once above ground again, you will experience the world with completely new eyes.

Descend into the quiet darkness of Adventuremine and let the Mine Lady’s Sauna Ritual guide you through heat, cold and complete presence.
Wearing a helmet and headlamp, you walk through historic tunnels to a hidden sauna beside mirror-still mine water. The ritual is led by experienced sauna masters and alternates between deep heat and refreshing cold plunges that slow your pulse and awaken your senses.
Local flavours from Dalarna – non-alcoholic beverages and a curated selection of cheeses and cured meats – enhance the experience, far from notifications and everyday noise.
Here, in the constant 4°C (39°F) mountain air, everything slows down.
You return to the surface clear-minded, warm in body and with the feeling of having experienced something truly real.
