Sweating on the Slopes

Visit Finland photo

Here’s something for Colorado resorts to consider: A sauna gondola.

That’s right. In Yllas, in Finnish Lapland (600 miles from Helsinki), you can sweat it out in a sauna on your trip up the mountain.

The ride covers 2.5 miles in about 20 minutes; the windows of the specially appointed gondola are tinted so you can see out but nobody can see in. “During the ride, you can admire the beautiful landscape of Yllas-hill. If you start feeling dizzy, just open the window and get some fresh air,” says the official Finnish travel web site.
