Pemberton is the quieter end of the Sea to Sky: a wide farming valley under Mount Currie, half an hour or so past Whistler. It's a beautiful place for a sauna, and the easiest way to get one is to have it delivered.
A sauna that comes to you
Mamquam Sauna is a hand-built, wood-fired barrel sauna that travels the whole corridor: Squamish, Whistler and Pemberton. Glenn delivers and sets up the sauna and a cold plunge tub at your spot, and you get it privately for a full 24 hours.
- Wood-fired, reaching up to about 90°C.
- Fits about 8 people comfortably.
- Cold plunge tub and firewood included.
- $325 for 24 hours, or $1,500 for a week.
Where it works in Pemberton
The sauna needs a reasonably level spot it can be delivered to, and permission from whoever owns the land. Places it suits:
- Your own home or backyard in Pemberton, Mount Currie or up the valley.
- A cabin or vacation rental, with your host's OK.
- A farm stay or acreage with room to spread out.
- A celebration, like a wedding weekend, birthday or family reunion at a private property.
There's no fixed spot it sets up at. Describe where you'd like it in your booking request and Glenn will confirm the details before your booking is locked in.
Why Pemberton is perfect for a sauna
Clear valley nights, cold winters and hot summers, and room to breathe. In winter, the valley gets real cold, which makes for brilliant contrast between the sauna and the snow. In summer, a sauna session as the heat of the day fades is hard to beat. Wherever you are, the mountains are the backdrop.
Pair it with a Pemberton day
- A hike: there are great trails all around the valley, from short lake walks to big alpine days.
- A farm visit: Pemberton is known for its farms. Stock up and turn the sauna night into a feast.
- A paddle: lakes near Pemberton are lovely on a calm day.
- A ride: Pemberton has excellent mountain biking, and the sauna is the reward at the end.

A few safety basics
- Drink water before, during and after.
