Arctic Bath invites guests to Fire & Ice – A weekend of warmth, cold, and inner strength
21–23 November 2025, Harads, Swedish Lapland
As darkness descends over the Lule River and the first snow makes its appearance, guests once again gather for Fire & Ice – a retreat that has become a cherished tradition at Arctic Bath. For the third time, we invite participants to a weekend where contrasts meet: icy dips in the river and hot sauna rituals, stillness in nature and shared moments by the table, restoration and renewed energy.
Fire & Ice is designed to embody what Arctic Bath is ultimately about: the meeting of nature's contrasts, warmth and cold, health and enjoyment. The retreat encompasses what makes the property unique, our thoughtful architecture, a cuisine inspired by the Arctic landscape, and above all our hospitality, which allows guests to feel at home and completely comfortable.
The weekend is further enriched by presence and movement through a collaboration with Petra Nilsson, Founder of Master Yoga Sweden. Petra has led highly regarded retreats at Arctic Bath over many years, and now she serves as host alongside Arctic Bath for Fire & Ice.
"Hosting Fire & Ice retreat at Arctic Bath – in the heart of Arctic stillness – is truly special. It is a place where nature invites you to pause, be present, and transform. Through heat, cold, breath, and movement, participants reconnect with their inner strength. It is more than recovery – it is a reminder of what it truly means to be alive," says Petra Nilsson, Founder of Master Yoga Sweden.
Since 2021, Master Yoga Sweden and Arctic Bath have shared a beautiful partnership, and this retreat is a natural evolution of that journey.
New and returning guests are warmly welcome to join. No previous experience of cold bathing or yoga is required, participants engage on their own terms. Fire & Ice offers an opportunity to be gently guided in exploring the contrasts, and to discover how both cold and warmth can bring enjoyment, vitality, and a sense of stillness.
