How it works…

Everything you need to know before your visit to FjordSauna Flåm or Aurland

At FjordSauna, we offer unforgettable floating sauna experiences in the heart of the Norwegian fjords. Whether you’re joining us in Flåm or Aurland, here’s a simple guide to help you plan your visit — from booking to blissful relaxation.

  • FjordSauna has two stunning locations: Flåm and Aurland — both set right on the fjord with panoramic views, steamy saunas, and access to refreshing dips in the water.

    • In Flåm, our saunas are boat-inspired floating cabins, moored by ropes at Piers 10 and 11

    • In Aurland, the sauna is built on a large floating dock, connected to shore by a short bridge

    • Both saunas are stationary — they are always docked

    Each sauna includes:

    • An electric heater

    • A changing room with private stall

    • Panoramic windows to take in the scenery

    • Direct access to the fjord for swimming

    • Swimwear (required)

    • A large towel for drying off or rent one from us upon arrival (required)

    • Water to stay hydrated (recommended)

    • Optional: sandals, robe, and a bag for wet clothes.

    You’ll receive a small disposable towel to sit on in the sauna — this won’t be enough to dry off after your session.

    Jewelery gets hot and can sting the skin. Leave these at home or in the changing room.

  • Flåm

    • Piers 10 & 11, Flåm harbor
      A short walk from the town center. Follow signs to Flåm Marina, and walk along the wooden dock.

      Located right in the town center, directly on the dock, just in front of the Aurland Shoe Factory and next to the ferry.

  • Please arrive on time. You’ll be greeted by our Sauna Master, who will:

    • Welcome you and guide you to the changing room

    • Explain how everything works and answer any questions

    • Stay on site throughout your session to assist if needed

    Note: Your booked session time includes time in the changing room before and after your sauna — so please plan accordingly to make the most of your experience.

  • Each sauna offers a warm, comfortable, and scenic experience. You'll find:

    • Seating for up to 12 people

    • Electric heaters — pour water for steam

    • Floor-to-ceiling windows with breathtaking views

    • Private changing stall

    • Easy fjord access

    Flåm: Swim via the hatch inside the sauna, the deck, rooftop, or ladders.
    Aurland: Swim via ladders or jump straight from the deck.

  • This is your time to relax and reconnect. We recommend alternating between:

    • The soothing heat of the sauna

    • A refreshing plunge in the fjord

    This traditional Nordic contrast will leave you feeling deeply refreshed and recharged.

  • Feel free to take a photo (safely!) or simply soak in the atmosphere.

Did you know…

Regular use of sauna can improve the immune system and help the body fight infections as well as reduce stress and anxiety. Sweating can help remove toxins from the body, such as heavy metals and chemicals. Many people combine a sauna with a refreshing dip in the fjord, and cold baths work wonders for the immune system and blood circulation, reduce inflammation and swelling and help with stiff muscles.
