Rantasauna

Rantasauna is located in Otaniemi behind Jämeräntaival 5. Rantsu has two separate spaces; a large space and a small space, which can be rented together or separately. The large space is ideal for larger sauna evenings and academic seated dinners, while the small space is perfect for smaller groups. There is a large barbecue in front of the terrace. Additionally, there is a pier, although it's worth noting that the shoreline is relatively shallow.

Rantasauna is available from 2 pm to 7 am. The sauna in the large space can be heated from 12 noon till 3 am. Upon arrival, users are responsible for heating up the sauna by switching on the heater. The maximum heating time is 8 hours. For cleaning and maintenance purposes, it is important that the facilities are empty outside of user hours. If it is necessary to extend user hours, this must be agreed on in advance with AYY. Additional user hours will be charged at an hourly rate.

There is firewood at Rantasauna for heating the wood sauna in the small space. Remember to also check the log shed next to Rantsu! The key to the shed can be found in the sauna.
