Scandic Valdres

Scandic Valdres features an electric sauna open to all hotel guests, set within a welcoming wellness area that also includes a swimming pool. The sauna is publicly accessible, meaning no treatment booking is required — simply head down and unwind at your own pace. With the Valdres mountains less than a kilometre away, the setting adds a natural calm to every sauna session. The broader facilities at Scandic Valdres complement the sauna experience well. After warming up in the sauna, guests can cool off poolside before settling into a quiet rest — a simple but effective wellness rhythm. The hotel also offers a gym for those who prefer an active start or end to the day. An outdoor terrace provides a further space to breathe and decompress, with the surrounding mountain landscape of Fagernes providing a scenic backdrop that few urban spa hotels can rival. Scandic Valdres is a natural base for restoring both body and mind in the heart of Norway's Valdres valley. Whether you visit for a short break or a longer stay, the sauna and pool make Fagernes feel like a genuine retreat — unhurried, restorative, and rooted in place.
