Avantoralli is an event for all ages, with cold water swimming as the central theme. Several public saunas will have extended opening hours. Winter swimming is a popular winter activity, and Salo has many different winter swimming spots where you can enjoy this immensely popular hobby. Salo, with its large area, has many natural water bodies such as the sea, rivers, and lakes, where you can engage in various water sports.
Saunas will be heated by the sea in Kokkila and Mathildedal, and by the lakes in Varvojärvi, Naarjärvi, Kruusila, and Kiikala, as well as by a spring in Teijo and by a pond in Märynummi. In addition to sauna and ice swimming, many sauna locations will also have sausages and juice for sale, and some may even offer live music.

Sauna fees at the ice swimming spots range from 5-12 euros. You will need a towel and a swimsuit. A hat and ice shoes or woolen socks are recommended but not necessary.
