Description

Upon arrival at Flåm Harbor, you will be met by a Sauna Master who will give you an introduction to the concept. The Sauna Master is responsible for the safety on board and will ensure that you have a pleasant experience. The sauna master will provide heat and water in the sauna and is present the whole time you are there.
The sauna is located in a quiet area of the quay, just a short walk from the railway station and the center of Flåm. Here you can enjoy refreshing baths in the fjord using the ladders outside, using the hatch leading to the fjord inside the sauna, or even jumping from the roof of the sauna! Or you can simply enjoy the heat and comfort of the sauna - bathing in the fjord is not mandatory!
The sauna has a spacious changing room with storage facilities for your belongings, while toilets are found nearby. The floating sauna has electric heating as it is always docked at the quay.

Added the sauna to our Norway in a Nutshell tour - customizing the route meant we could stay longer in Flåm to enjoy the sauna. We were fortunate enough to have a sauna to ourselves and it was an experience I'll remember for a long time. Highly recommend!
