In Minnesota, winter isn’t just a season—it’s a lifestyle. The Land of 10,000 Lakes is famed for its lakeside recreation; winter is no exception. Warming up in a sauna after hiking through the snowy woods or skating on a frozen lake is an invigorating and truly Minnesotan experience.

Named for the Finnish words for the uniquely Scandinavian toughness and the spirit released from the steam, Sisu+ Löyly is set on the shores of Lake Superior in Grand Marais, in the far northeast of the state. Visitors can watch the water from inside the saunas or relax outside by the bonfire.
