The weekend marks four years of Blue Mountains Sauna championing authentic sauna culture in Australia, alongside the official launch of our Savusauna (smoke sauna). Three years in the making, it is the first traditional smoke sauna in the Southern Hemisphere and a milestone we're incredibly proud to share.

The Big Sweat has been designed with something for everyone, allowing you to reconnect with yourself, with others, with what makes us human.

Slow Start 10am–1pm: slower, more grounding atmosphere, with acoustic music, gentle Aufguss (Infusion) sessions and complimentary yoga classes to ease you into the day.

Rising Rhythm 1pm–4pm: the energy shifts, expect more dynamic Aufguss sessions, brighter music, games and plenty of opportunities to connect with fellow sauna lovers. 

Golden Hour Heat 4pm-630pm: the most celebratory part of the day, sunset energy and maybe even some dancing after the cold plunge.

Soft Landing 630pm-9pm: the pace settles once again, returning to a calmer, relaxed atmosphere with softer music and gentler sauna sessions.

Throughout the festival you'll have the opportunity to experience all five saunas, each offering something a little different. There will be traditional Aufguss sessions with and without essential oils, as well as sessions with and without music, ensuring there are options for those seeking a quieter, lower-sensory experience as well as those who enjoy a more energetic atmosphere. 

Your festival pass includes a two-hour sauna session. Outside your session, you're encouraged to arrive early or stay afterwards to enjoy everything else the festival has to offer, including complimentary movement classes, live music, delicious pizza, market stalls, and plenty of time to relax, connect and soak up the atmosphere with family and friends.
