Howling Moon Sauna Brings the Heat to Winter Park and Fraser: A New Way to Unwind in Grand County
If you're lucky enough to call Grand County home (or dreaming of putting down roots in our little slice of mountain paradise), you already know that getting outside and recharging post-adventure is part of the mountain lifestyle. Whether you're earning your turns on a powder day, exploring the backcountry on a snowmobile, riding through the woods on a sleigh, taking advantage of the three lakes region, hopping on the river, playing a round at one of our world-class golf courses, fishing our mountain lakes and rivers, camping, hiking, biking, cross-country skiing, or taking advantage of your outdoor adventure of choice, you'll be ready to unwind after a day of play. And now there’s a new way to relax and reset post-adventure!
Enter: Howling Moon Sauna, a wood-fired sauna experience tucked just outside of Fraser on Saint Louis Creek Road. Whether you’re seeking solitude or a good-for-the-soul (and body!) group session, Howling Moon offers a unique opportunity to connect with nature, community, and yourself.
Howling Moon embraces a simple understanding: nature and heat are healing. After years of personal transformation, their team wanted to build something that blends wellness, community, and a love for the outdoors.
