About the Hotel
Hovdetun Gjøvik Vandrerhjem offers a straightforward and welcoming sauna experience within a lively, activity-rich hostel setting. The electrically heated sauna is publicly accessible, making it easy for guests to drop in and enjoy a proper warm-up without the need for advance booking. It sits alongside an impressive spread of leisure facilities that together make this hostel far more than a place to sleep.
The broader offering at Hovdetun is genuinely extensive — guests enjoy free access to a water park, indoor and outdoor pools, and a nearby health club, all of which pair naturally with a sauna session. The classic rhythm works well here: let the sauna's dry heat open your pores and ease tired muscles, then cool off with a swim before settling into one of the outdoor terraces or the garden for a moment of quiet. With four indoor and six outdoor tennis courts, mountain biking, horse riding, and ice skating also available, the sauna becomes a welcome full stop to an active day.
Hovdetun Gjøvik Vandrerhjem is an ideal base for anyone wanting to recharge and restore in the heart of Norway's Innlandet region. The combination of sauna access, outdoor pursuits, and genuine community atmosphere makes Gjøvik an unexpectedly rewarding wellness destination.
