Hello again 👋

You are getting an extra newsletter beyond the usual, and there's a special reason for that. In the latest newsletter, Christina wrote about her thoughts on trying out the joys of winter bathing. And if you haven’t tried it before, there is a threshold you have to cross to lower your body into water with a temperature that is much closer to the freezing point than your morning shower.

We’ve heard that during January and February, you will be able to join a series of free winter bathing events in the city, where you can try this popular activity in safe and guided environment. We thought we’d let you know about it.

Four hotels are hosting guided winter bathing events every Wednesday from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM from January 15 to February 5. These are both open for hotel guests and anyone else who might be interested.

Bring your swimwear, a towel, slippers, a hat, gloves, and anything else that might be nice to have on hand. There will be changing facilities and experienced winter bathers to guide and support you. Afterwards, you can enjoy a hot drink to get the full experience of the endorphin rush caused by a trip in the icy water.

No registration is needed, so just show up, and everything is taken care of.

• January 15 - Copenhagen Island by Fisketorvet
• January 22 - Copenhagen Marriott Hotel by Kalvebod Brygge
• January 29 - Scandic Spectrum - meeting point: Kalvebod Bølge
  • Sauna will be available. No changing facilities at the location
• February 5 - Radisson Blu Scandinavia Hotel - Meeting point: Islands Brygge
  • No changing facilities at the location

Happy polar bear plunging!
