Oslo has more sauna options per capita than almost any city in Europe, from wood-fired fjord saunas booked by the session to gym saunas that work out under 30 NOK a visit if you go most days. This guide breaks the options into three categories with the prices each operator actually publishes. Several fjord sauna operators publish no fixed session price at all, so where that is the case we say so rather than guess. Verify the current price on each venue's own site before booking.

Fjord Sauna Prices in Oslo
Oslo's fjord saunas are a genuine experience: wood-fired heat, a cold plunge straight into the fjord, and a social atmosphere no gym sauna matches. Most require advance booking, and weekend sessions fill two to four weeks ahead in peak season from October to March. Book directly on each venue's own website, which is also the only reliable place to read the current price.
| Sauna | Price | Duration | Location | Amenities | Booking |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| KOK Oslo · Book → | Per session, check koknorge.no | Varies by session type | Langkaia and Aker Brygge | Wood-fired sauna, cold fjord plunge, fjord views. KOK publishes no single fixed session price; it depends on site, time and whether the session is shared or private. | Required (2–4 weeks) |
| SALT · Book → | 205 NOK weekday / 255 NOK weekend | See salted.no | Langkaia (on land) | Land-based sauna at Langkaia, open year round, social atmosphere and cultural events some evenings. Salted.no currently states the sauna is temporarily closed, so check there before planning a visit. | Check salted.no |
| Oslo Badstuforening · Book → | Per session, check oslobadstuforening.no | Varies by site | Sukkerbiten, Langkaia, Sagene Folkebad, Kroloftet, Hvervenbukta, Grefsenkollen, FOLK | Sauna and sea swimming. The association runs seven sites in and around Oslo, and price and opening hours are set per site rather than centrally. | Recommended; some walk-ups available |
Gym Sauna Prices (Unlimited with Membership)
The cheapest way to use a sauna regularly in Oslo is a gym membership at a chain that has one. SATS is the only major commercial chain in Oslo with saunas, and at 15 Oslo clubs per sats.no/badstu: Colosseum, Bislett, Storo and Solli Plass. Fresh Fitness, Evo Fitness and Fitness24Seven have no sauna at any Oslo location, and no SATS gym in Norway has a pool.
| Gym | Price/mo | Sessions | Per session (30x) | Sauna type | Oslo clubs |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SATS Basic | 839 NOK/mo | Unlimited | ~28 NOK (30 visits/mo) | Finnish dry sauna | Colosseum, Bislett, Solli Plass, Storo |
| SATS Flexible | 849 NOK/mo | Unlimited | ~28 NOK (30 visits/mo) | Finnish dry sauna | Colosseum, Bislett, Solli Plass, Storo |
| SATS Premium | 999 NOK/mo | Unlimited | ~33 NOK (30 visits/mo) | Finnish dry sauna | Colosseum, Bislett, Solli Plass, Storo |
* Per-session price based on 30 visits per month. Fewer visits = higher per-session cost.
Municipal Pool & Sauna Prices
Oslo kommune charges one flat price at every municipal pool, and sauna access is included in the entry ticket. No booking required. This is the cheapest single-visit sauna in the city and the right choice for occasional users who do not want a membership.
| Facility | Price | Type | Included | Area | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Adult | 175 kr | Single ticket | Pool and sauna | Every Oslo kommune pool | No booking required |
| Student and senior | 125 kr | Single ticket | Pool and sauna | Every Oslo kommune pool | Valid ID required |

| Tøyenbadet → | 175 kr | Entry (incl. pool) | Two dry saunas, 50m pool, diving tower | Tøyen | The steam bath is closed indefinitely |

Best: A municipal pool at 175 NOK adult, 125 NOK student, sauna included

5–7 times per month

8+ times per month
Best: SATS Oslo Basic at 839 NOK/mo, roughly 105 NOK per visit at eight visits

20–30 times per month
Best: SATS Oslo Basic, down to 42 NOK per visit at 20 and 28 NOK at 30
Cost: 839 NOK/mo for unlimited access, 999 NOK on Premium
Special experience (1–4x/year)
Best: SALT at Langkaia, or KOK at Langkaia and Aker Brygge
Cost: SALT is 205 NOK weekday and 255 NOK weekend (the sauna is temporarily closed, check salted.no). KOK sets the price per session at booking, so check koknorge.no and book 2–4 weeks ahead.
Booking Tips & Seasonal Demand
October through March is peak sauna season in Oslo - cold and dark outside, busy inside. KOK and SALT sessions on Friday and Saturday evenings book out 3–4 weeks in advance during this period. Always book as soon as the booking window opens (typically 2–4 weeks ahead, check each venue's website).
Weekday mornings and early afternoons (09:00–14:00) at public saunas are the least crowded. SATS gym saunas follow the same crowding pattern as the gym floor: quietest 10:00–15:00 weekdays and all day Sunday.
Summer, June to August, sees lower demand for saunas. This is the best time to try the fjord saunas without advance booking, because walk-up spots are sometimes available on weekday mornings.
