Experience a Finnish Cottage Oasis in the Heart of the City

Slush week is intense, fast-paced, and takes place during the darkest time of the Finnish winter. After a long day of networking and pitching, there is no better way to seal the deals and reward your team than stepping into a warm, relaxing sanctuary.

While summer cottages are already closed for the winter, Sauna Pasila brings that cozy, authentic Finnish cottage atmosphere alive all year round. Host an unforgettable side event for your core team, investors, or VIP clients. Enjoy our atmospheric lounge, gentle steam (löyly), soothing birdsong, and relaxing board games.

It’s the perfect place to loosen the ties, let your guard down, and build meaningful connections in a truly memorable environment. All this is waiting for you in Pasila, with unmatched accessibility right next to the main venue.
