The Floating Saunas at Gausta offer a spectacular setting at the foot of Mount Gaustatoppen, one of Norway’s most iconic peaks. Floating on a mountain lake, these saunas combine wilderness immersion with the comfort of a well-heated cabin, creating an experience that is both adventurous and deeply relaxing.
From inside the sauna, large windows frame views of the surrounding mountains and forest. Stepping outside, guests can plunge into the cool lake waters with Gaustatoppen rising majestically in the background. In winter, the landscape transforms into a snow-covered wonderland that makes the hot-cold contrast even more dramatic.
The area around Rjukan is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and offers excellent hiking and skiing depending on the season. The floating saunas make a perfect complement to outdoor activities in the region. Advance booking is recommended, and the location is best accessed by car.
