Welcome to Wild Sauna Lærdal

The sauna is located by the beautiful Lærdalsfjord, a branch of the world-famous Sognefjord. The water is turquoise, and the mountains are majestic.

Directly outside the sauna door you can walk into the fjord for a refreshing dip. Our little sauna has a panoramic window, so that you can enjoy the incredible views while you're getting warm and cosy.

The sauna location is private and has access to a dock. A perfect place for a romantic date or a hang out spot for friends and familiy. We promise a memorable experience for all occasions. We also recommend visiting during winter time, to get the unique arctic experience.
