We are one of the few saunas in Telemark offering sauna rituals and aufguss.
A couple of times each month, we invite different sauna masters to lead rituals in our shared sauna. These sessions can be a great introduction to shared sauna if the idea of sharing a sauna with strangers feels a little intimidating. All you need to do is show up, take a seat on the bench and enjoy the warmth, scents and music.
Usually, one of us (Bodil or Olav) is also there to welcome you and host the event. Aufguss is suitable for most people, and our sauna masters make sure everyone feels comfortable, adjusting the heat and airflow to suit the group.
What is "aufguss"?
Aufguss is a German word meaning “to pour on”. It is a sauna ritual where water, ice and essential oils are poured onto hot sauna stones to create steam and beautiful aromas. The sauna master then circulates the heat, steam and scents throughout the sauna using a towel or fan. Each sauna master has their own style and preferences when it comes to music, scents and techniques, which means that every aufguss experience is a little different from the last.
The experience lasts about 1.5 hours in total, divided into several sessions with good breaks in between. The sessions are often accompanied by music carefully selected by the sauna master.
If you are a group interested in booking your own private aufguss, please get in touch with us to check available dates and times.
Availability is limited and depends on whether one of our freelance sauna masters is available, so we recommend booking well in advance 🙂 At the moment, Wednesdays are the easiest days for us to arrange private aufguss sessions.
Price kr 3500,- (capacity of 10 people)
