Sauna in Tromsø: Arctic air, warm water and aufguss

Warm water. Crisp Arctic air.

Sink into the warm outdoor pool and feel the cool air on your face. With views towards the mountains of Kvaløya, this is a place to pause and take in your surroundings — whether you have spent the day exploring Tromsø or simply want a slower afternoon.

On dark winter evenings, look up. If conditions are right and you are lucky, you may catch the northern lights while enjoying the warmth of the water.

From sauna warmth to a cold plunge

Settle into the heat of our Finnish sauna, where large windows bring the view into the experience. Take your time, enjoy the warmth and let the rest of your plans wait a little.

For those who enjoy a sharper contrast, our cold plunge pool offers a refreshing change of pace. Try a brief dip, or spend your visit enjoying the sauna and warm pools — the choice is yours.

Discover aufguss on Tuesdays and Fridays

Want to experience something beyond a regular sauna visit? Join an aufguss session: a guided ritual combining heat, steam and aromatic scents.

A trained sauna master adds water and ice with essential oils to the sauna heater, then moves the warm air through the room using a towel or fan. Over approximately 15 minutes, the changing aromas and waves of heat become the focus of the experience.

Aufguss takes place on Tuesday and Friday mornings. Bring an extra towel to sit on and discover a different way to start your day.
