Plan your stayThe hotel
The river connects every part of the stay
Upstream follows the bank through a sequence of rooms and terraces. Guests leave from the river house for paddling or winter routes, return through the sauna garden, and end the day around an open kitchen, performance room or one of several quieter lounges.
“The best resort days have movement, recovery and no unnecessary travel between them.”

Following the river through the property
A continuous path connects the river house, bedroom wings, sauna garden and main hearth. This makes movement intuitive while allowing smaller terraces and lounges to retain privacy. Conditions on and beside the water vary by season, so the activity team confirms access locally and suggests forest alternatives when the river is not the right plan.
A recovery sequence rather than a spa checklist
The bathing circuit moves gradually between different temperatures, fresh air and quiet. Guests can complete a simple self-guided sequence or reserve targeted treatment time, but the hotel avoids encouraging an exhausting list of rituals. Clear timing and capacity limits keep the sauna rooms calm during busy weekends.
How to pace a three-night river stay
Use arrival evening to settle around the hearth, leave the full middle day for a route or water activity and keep the remaining time flexible for bathing and local exploration. Current Rooms suit active short visits; Upstream Suites add private sauna space, while Bank Cabins offer independence with a short outdoor walk to shared facilities.
