Askeladden

“Askeladden” is a mobile, wood-fired barrel sauna on a trailer, operated by Rofosn in Harstad and built locally by Harstadmakers. The panoramic window in the back wall looks out over the Vågsfjord and snow-capped peaks while the Harvia stove works its way up toward 85°C.

The sauna can be rented by the day, weekend, or week, with delivery and setup included along with firewood and equipment – or you can pick it up yourself in central Harstad. An ice bath can be added for a full contrast experience, and there is room for four to six people on the benches.

Booking is done through a form on the website or via social media, and weekly capacity is limited – so be early when planning your sauna evening.
