What are the best saunas in Molde?
Molde, on the Romsdalsfjord in western Norway, is known as the 'City of Roses' for its mild coastal climate. Its sauna culture benefits from strong hotel infrastructure — the annual Molde International Jazz Festival drives high-end hospitality investment — and direct fjord access. Hotel spas at Alexandra Hotel and Scandic Seilet provide reliable Finnish sauna and cold-plunge facilities. Floating sauna development on the Romsdalsfjord is growing; the panorama of snowcapped peaks across the water (222 peaks visible on a clear day) provides some of Norway's most spectacular sauna settings.
