How it works

Step by step

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

  • 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

    • 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.

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.
