How the sauna works

You book, get the door code, light the stove yourself and enjoy the view over the fjord. Here you can see the sauna from every side, and what you do step by step.

1. Book your time

   Choose a day and time on the front page. The whole sauna is 500 NOK for two hours, with room for six. A single seat is 100 NOK on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday 04:00–12:00.

2. Arrive and unlock

   The door code comes by e-mail and is in the app. It works during your time. The steps are by the door at the short end.

3. Change in the changing room

   Leave your clothes in the changing room just inside the door. Firewood, kindling and matches are ready for you.

4. Light the stove

   Put in kindling and small wood and light it. When it has caught, add larger logs. Keep the air vent open for the first 15–20 minutes. Allow 45–60 minutes for the sauna to get warm.

5. Sauna, steam and a dip

   Pour water on the stones for steam. Take breaks between rounds and cool off in the fjord. Add two or three logs at a time to keep the heat.

6. Tidy up and lock

   Take your things with you and lock the door when your time is up.
