Wild Sauna Bakka, Gudvangen

This charming little barrel sauna is located in the peaceful village of Bakka, just outside Gudvangen and right on the Nærøyfjord. Here, you can enjoy spectacular fjord bathing directly from the dock and take in the breathtaking views.

The surrounding area is part of the UNESCO World Heritage landscape, and while nearby Gudvangen is a well-known tourist destination, Bakka remains a quiet hidden gem — close by, yet far from the hustle and bustle. The village is approximately 25 minutes from Flåm and 50 minutes from Voss.

Enhance your visit by combining your sauna session with one of the popular hikes in the area or a stop at the historic Bakka church.

Wild Sauna Voss

Brave the icy waters of Lake Vangsvatnet and enjoy stunning views of Gråsida through the panoramic window. The sauna is located in the center of Voss, just a short walk from the lake.

Ice bathing is possible, but water access is not directly in front of the sauna. If you prefer a dock to dive from and immediate access to the fjord, we recommend visiting our Bakka, Gudvangen sauna. From the Voss sauna, you can walk down to the rocks or to the public beach for swimming. Alternatively, use the outdoor shower right outside the sauna to cool off — perfect for those who want a refreshing dip without walking to the lake.

There are not many places where you can (or would want to) take an outdoor shower in below-freezing temperatures. Trust us — the experience is just as exhilarating as the view!
