After the miles and elevation gain, the mud, the laughs – next comes the exhale. The sauna is where the day slows down and the body catches up, where the head goes quiet and the shoulders finally drop. This guide rounds up our go-to spots to warm through, sweat it out, and reset properly — the perfect mid-point during your Elevated Day before putting your feet over dinner and a pint. Switch off, breathe deep, and let your body unwind. We have pulled together a list of our favourite sauna spots in Wicklow – we’d love to hear your favourite spots for sauna ritual.
