Winter Solstice at FLÖ
A cosy, seasonal celebration of cold water, warmth and midwinter magic.
A Warm Winter Welcome
The Winter Solstice is all about taking a breather, noticing the season, and giving yourself a little space before the year ends.
It’s a lovely moment to reflect, reset and enjoy the simple things, fresh air, warm flames, a dip in the lake, and a hot drink in your hands. You don’t need to be a seasoned cold-water pro just bring your sense of adventure and a few warm layers.
You can choose from three Solstice experiences this year, each beginning with a refreshing dip in our natural clay-bottomed lake as the sky starts to darken. It’s invigorating, joyful and instantly brings you into the moment.
Depending on the option you book, you’ll then enjoy time in our lakeside sauna, cold plunge, shared hot tubs — or a combination of all three. Move between the spaces as you like; there’s no rush and no set order.
To finish, we’ll gather around the firepit with a seasonal hot drink and a mince pie. Simple, cosy and a really lovely way to celebrate midwinter.
