Senja · Northern Norway
Hot sauna. Cold Arctic sea. Endless views of Senja's peaks. Two floating saunas — Fjordgård and Finnsnes — open for drop-in and private sessions all year.
The experience
Damperiet is built around the classic Nordic contrast ritual — as simple today as it was for the first generations who fished these fjords.
Settle onto warm wood benches as the wood-fired stove pushes the room toward 90°C, with floor-to-ceiling glass framing the fjord outside.
Step straight off the raft into the Arctic sea, or lower yourself into the built-in glass-floor plunge pool for a shock of clear, cold water.
Wrap up on the rooftop deck, let the cold fade, and take in the mountains — then head back in and do it all again.
Two saunas, one island
Both saunas float directly on the water and take drop-in and private bookings. Pick a spot, pick a time.
Our original floating sauna, moored by the harbour in the northern part of Fjordgård — a small fishing village ringed by some of Senja's most dramatic mountains. Combine your visit with a swim in the Arctic sea.
Our newest sauna, floating in Olderhamna harbour in Finnsnes — the regional gateway to Senja, framed by sea and mountains on every side. Escape the everyday with heat, calm and an Arctic swim.
