What is a sauna – and why you might want one our Arctic-sauna?

For most Norwegians, the sauna is still unfamiliar. At Arctic-sauna, we’re here to introduce this powerful Nordic tradition to more homes in Norway.

So, what is a sauna?

A sauna is a small, heated room – usually made of wood – where you sit and relax in high temperatures, often between 70°C and 100°C. It’s common in Finland, Estonia and other parts of Northern Europe. People use saunas to relax, sweat, and feel better physically and mentally.

You can enjoy a sauna alone or with friends. Many people also combine it with cold showers or snow dips to boost energy and circulation.

Why is sauna good for you?

Even 15-20 minutes in the sauna can make a difference. Here’s why more people in Norway are now interested in saunas:

  • Relieves stress – The heat helps your body and mind slow down
  • Improves sleep – Many sauna users say they sleep better at night
  • Supports recovery – Perfect after physical activity or a long day
  • Strengthens the immune system – Regular sauna use may help your body fight off illness
  • Feels amazing in winter – The warmth is a natural comfort during cold, dark months

Why saunas make sense in Norway?

Norwegian winters are long and dark. A sauna gives you warmth, light, and a sense of calm – even when it’s snowing outside. It’s a space where you can disconnect, recharge, and reconnect with yourself or loved ones.
