Can I see the northern lights from the sauna in Tromsø?
Yes - it's one of the most sought-after experiences. The northern lights season is October to March, and the floating saunas with large windows and a sea plunge right outside are perfect for watching the lights between sauna rounds. Book a clear evening and check the aurora forecast (yr.no). It is possible to bathe in the sea under the northern lights.
Sauna and ice bathing in Tromsø - how cold is the sea?
The sea in Tromsø is typically 2–6°C in winter and 10–15°C in summer - colder than further south. The sequence is the same: warm up 10–15 min at 80–100°C, into the sea for 15–60 sec, rest, repeat 2–4 times. Never bathe alone, and get out quickly if you are a beginner. In summer you can do a midnight-sun sauna in full daylight.
