The facilities

Built for the
protocol.

Finnish sauna + cold plunge
Traditional sauna reaching 80–100°C, paired with cold plunge tanks chilled to 4–8°C. Two full contrast cycles daily. Temperature-controlled tanks, not the lake, which runs too warm in summer, so the cold exposure is consistent and measurable across the stay.
Nature, forest & trekking
Marked trails directly from the property into genuine boreal forest, birch, pine, silence. The shinrin-yoku research on cortisol reduction requires real forest, not landscaped grounds. Lapland provides it in every direction. Arctic wilderness walks are part of the daily protocol, not an optional activity.
Food
Self-guided Self-catering. Kitchen in the cabin. Breakfast basket of local produce on request. Supermarket walkable. Fine dining and local restaurants nearby. Facilitated cohort All meals prepared by JJ's Kitchen — local, fire-cooked, rooted in Lapland's larder. Timed to support the circadian and anti-inflammatory protocol. Vegetarian options available.
The land

Sápmi.
Summer above the Arctic Circle.

Arvidsjaur sits just below the Arctic Circle. In July, there are 20+ hours of daylight. The midnight sun doesn't set, it dips to the horizon and rises again. The forest is boreal: birch, pine, silence deep enough to hear your own nervous system.

The light
Midnight sun in July
The SAD lamp protocol in the programme uses artificial morning light. But in July, the real thing is present from the moment you wake. The circadian protocol works faster here than anywhere.
The silence
Genuine acoustic rest
No traffic, no sirens, no neighbour sounds. The forest has its own ambient noise, birds, wind, water, but no human-generated sound pollution. Most guests notice this within the first hour of arrival.
The forest
Boreal, not ornamental
The daily nature walk is in a real forest, not landscaped grounds. The shinrin-yoku research requires genuine forest for its cortisol reduction effects. Lapland provides this at scale in every direction.

HAVN operates in Sápmi, the ancestral homeland of the Sámi people, who have inhabited this region for thousands of years. We acknowledge the Sámi people as the traditional stewards of this land and are committed to operating in a way that respects and honours that stewardship. We are guests here.
