Wood-Fired Saunas in Bergen (2026 Guide)
Bergen's floating saunas are predominantly wood-fired — the harbour fog, the crackle of the stove, and the adjacent Byfjorden make for one of Norway's most atmospheric sauna settings. Bergen Badstue uses wood heat; the stove takes 2–3 hours to reach temperature, so sessions are always pre-booked rather than drop-in.
