The Oslo Badstuforening Experience
You might be thinking, well I can sauna in my gym or at the spa, what’s so different about this sauna? This is an elevated form of sauna-ing. Whether you’re visiting during the summer or the winter (it’s open all year!) you’ll literally get that feeling in your heart and think, wow this is truly a once in a lifetime experience. The best part about this is that it doesn’t hurt your wallet at all. It’s only 195 Norwegian Krone for 90 minutes of full access to all saunas, which is equivalent to roughly $18 USD. They also offer a yearly membership of 300 Norwegian Krone a year, or a one month drop-in membership for 450 NOK. Such a great deal.
When you go in the summertime, you’ll absolutely love sunbathing, going into the sauna, and then jumping in to the crisp, cool waters of the fjord.
When you go in the wintertime, it’s a whole different experience. The Oslofjord will often freeze up, so what they do is they’ll crack through the ice so you can still jump in, creating a super cool, cold plunge experience. This is on my bucketlist, to go to back to Oslo during the winter and spend an afternoon at Oslo Badstuforening’s floating saunas, then jumping into the ice cold fjord!
What to Bring to Oslo Badstuforening’s Floating Saunas
Aside from your swimsuit, I recommend bringing a towel, flip flops/water shoes, a water bottle, a warm robe or jacket, toiletries, and a waterproof bag to hold everything!
Sunscreen is always a must, pictured above is my sunscreen of choice, which is an everyday mineral sunscreen with an SPF of 30! This is perfectly safe to use on the face and body, as it doesn’t use any chemical UV filters, preservatives, emulsifiers, silicones, nano-particles, micro-plastics, animal derivatives, animal testing, phthalates or parabens. There’s also some powerful antioxidants, soothing oils, and collagen-boosting ingredients, which will nourish, protect, and enrich your skin with each use!

Types of Saunas and Locations
Oslo Badstuforening’s Floating Saunas host a variety of saunas, each with its own unique charm and character. I thought the little saunas were so cute, some were very aesthetic, and some were cozy.
From the rustic and cozy to the spacious and communal, there is a sauna to match everyone’s preferences. These cute floating gems offer a range of experiences, from the intimate seclusion perfect for contemplation and relaxation to more social spaces where laughter and conversation flow as freely as the warm air. This is the place to find both locals and tourists, admiring the beauty that surrounds Oslo and collectively practicing self care.
The Health Benefits of Sauna Bathing
There are so many benefits to sauna bathing, which is why it’s such a popular self care activity worldwide. From improved cardiovascular health, relief from muscle pain, stress reduction, respiratory benefits, and an enhanced immune system, there’s no reason to not want to go into the sauna as much as possible.
Beyond the benefits listed above, I love that it makes your skin glow and gives you beautiful rosy cheeks that’ll last all day. I also love applying my skincare right after, as I feel like my skin really absorbs the nutrients from my products so much better.

You truly won’t regret this experience. You’ll feel so rejuvenated and replenished after, and ready to continue going about your day in beautiful Oslo.
There’s really nothing like Oslo
Before we part ways, I wanted to quickly mention just how truly special of a place Oslo is. From the food, to their sustainable living practices, their fashion, the friendliness, and everything else that has to do with Oslo – it really stole my heart. I hope that you get to experience Oslo. I think everyone should experience Oslo to be completely honest. It’s life changing, eye opening, and a truly remarkable place.
