Winter Is the Best Time to Try It
Long Boston winters are a big part of why the Nordic sauna tradition fits here so well. A real sauna on a freezing day is hard to beat, and the cold plunge makes the heat feel even better when you go back in. Not sure what order to do it in? Read sauna before or after a cold plunge.

- Ask the plunge temperature. Plunge Boston alone ranges from 37°F to 55°F, so start warmer.
