SkyWheel Helsinki is a 40-meter (131 feet) tall Ferris wheel in central Helsinki, Finland. One of its gondola cabins, the SkySauna, is the world's first sauna on a Ferris wheel.[1] It opened to the public on June 3, 2014.[2] It was originally named the Finnair SkyWheel and its placement on Katajanokka harbor is where the airline Finnair first located its flight operations in the 1920s.[3]
The Netherlands-based Dutch Wheels designed and constructed the wheel.[4] It is a model R40.[5] It has 30 climate controlled gondolas, allowing the wheel to operate year-round.[6] Of these, 29 blue-and-white gondolas can accommodate six people, except for the VIP gondola which can accommodate four.[7] The wood paneled SkySauna gondola can hold up to five people.[8] The VIP gondola features a glass floor and leather chairs.
