Scandic Kirkenes

Scandic Kirkenes features an electric sauna available to guests on a public, communal basis — a straightforward and welcoming way to warm up after a day in Norway's far north. The sauna sits alongside a swimming pool, offering a natural contrast to the heat and providing the foundation for a proper Nordic wellness routine. No treatment booking is required; simply bring a towel and take advantage of the facilities at your leisure. The wider leisure offering at Scandic Kirkenes includes the heated pool, making it easy to follow the classic sauna cycle: settle into the warmth of the electric sauna, cool down with a refreshing dip in the pool, then take time to rest before heading back for another round. The hotel's outdoor terrace adds a further option for guests who want to breathe in the crisp Arctic air between sessions — particularly restorative during the long winter months when temperatures outside are at their most bracing. Access is open to all staying guests, with no advance reservation needed for the sauna itself. Scandic Kirkenes is an ideal base for unwinding and restoring energy at the edge of Europe. Whether you're here for the Northern Lights or the rugged scenery of Kirkenes, the sauna and pool offer a welcome ritual to round off each day.
