SAUNA Geilo self service

Welcome to Skarveegget, a self-service wood-fired sauna with plenty of space for 6 people.

This is a self-service wood-fired sauna, which means the sauna will be cold when you arrive, and you are responsible for lighting the stove yourself. The sauna heats up in about one hour. When you are finished, please brush the benches and floor thoroughly. Remember to empty all buckets of water before leaving. You will find firewood, kindling, firelighters, and matches in the sauna. Leave Skarveegget the way you would like to find it — or even a little better 😊

The sauna is designed for 6 people, but there is room for 8 if you sit close together.

There is no dressing room or changing area. You will change outdoors next to the sauna. Pack smartly in a large bag or backpack so you can store your belongings in it while enjoying the warmth inside.

The sauna is beautifully located with views over the Ustedalsfjorden, the forest, and the surrounding mountains. You can take breaks from the heat by stepping outside into the snow or cooling down in the fresh mountain air.

If you want to pour water over the hot stones, you must bring your own water for this. It is recommended to bring water, as the steam produced when pouring water over the hot stones gives the best sauna experience. You may also use snow if there is snow available outside. You can also fill water in your bottles in the restroom in Vestlia Resort, this is a good thing to do while you are waiting for the sauna to be warm.

Note: The sauna is not warm when you arrive; you must light the wood-burning stove yourself. This is NOT combined with cold-water dipping.

The nearest toilet is located at Vestlia Resort.

If you want to combine sauna and ice bath you can book the sauna in Ustaoset, Ustaoset is 12 k from Geilo.

Access.

It may be a bit difficult to find the sauna if you haven’t been there before. Arrive early so you can locate it without stress.

When driving along Bakkestølvegen, just before you turn left up toward the parking area at Vestlia Resort, you will see the sauna out in the field to the right, facing the Ustedalsfjorden. If there are ski tracks, you may follow them. The sauna is located to the left of the bike park. It is a 150-meter walk from the parking lot to the sauna.

There are no changing rooms or toilets nearby, but there is a free restroom at Vestlia Resort.
