Private Sauna - Aufguss Ritual

Flåm & Aurland. Available on request and on limited dates.

Enjoy a 90-minute Private Sauna session with a guided Aufguss Ritual led by our Sauna Master.

Your session begins with an alcohol-free welcome drink, followed by three guided aufguss rounds, where heat infused with essential oils is circulated through the sauna using rhythmic fan movements, accompanied by music.

After the guided rounds, you have time to enjoy the sauna at your own pace — typically 30–45 minutes.

Alchol-free drink, towels, seat pads, and our natural body scrub are included. No prior sauna experience needed.

  • Aufguss is a traditional sauna ritual where a Sauna Master pours water mixed with essential oils onto the hot sauna stones and then uses a towel or fan to circulate the rising heat through the room.

    These rhythmic movements spread the heat and scent evenly, creating waves of warmth and a more immersive sauna experience. At FjordSauna, our aufguss rituals include carefully selected music and scents to create the perfect atmosphere.

    No prior sauna experience needed.

    • Three guided Aufguss rounds led by Sauna Master (typically 45-60 min)
