Varanger View - Flyt is the first floating sauna in an Arctic climate zone, anchored in Vardo harbour with views over the Barents Sea. Operated by Varanger View, Flyt offers an intimate sauna experience at Norway’s easternmost town.
The Experience
The compact floating sauna provides a warm retreat in one of the most dramatic settings in northern Norway. From the sauna, you look out over the Barents Sea and the historic Vardo harbour. For the bravest, a refreshing dip in the Arctic waters is just steps away from the sauna door.
Vardo itself is a fascinating town — Norway’s only mainland municipality in the Arctic climate zone — and combining a visit to Flyt with exploring the town’s rich history makes for a memorable Arctic day.
