Welcome to the Sauna in Ål
Whether you’re looking to drop in for a shared sauna session or prefer to book a private time slot, you’re warmly welcome at our sauna in Ål.
The sauna is located at Oppsjø Vasspark Ål, right by Ål Idrettspark. Parking is available at Bråta (address: Ål Idrettspark 1). From there, it’s about a 500-meter walk along a gravel path. In winter, please walk alongside the cross-country skiing trail.
Oppsjø Vasspark is a public outdoor recreation area that includes a swimming facility, sauna, a cabin, restrooms, and a BUA rental hub for water activities.
We kindly ask all sauna guests to be mindful of other groups using the area and facilities.
How to book the Sauna
To enjoy the sauna, you can either attend a communal sauna session or book a private 2 hrs sauna. The public sauna sessions are for drop ins, and there’s no pre-booking. Cost: 60 kroners per session. Please see our weekly calendar for days and times.
If you want to have the sauna to yourself, you have to book in advance via our booking platform Gibbs. Once your booking is confirmed, you’ll receive an access code to the door by email and text message, as well as instructions for use.
The sauna comfortably fits up to 8 people.
