Badstuåa

Badstuåa is a small barrel sauna idyllically placed by a pond just outside central Alvdal, with its own pier, bathing ladder, and an ice hole during the winter months. Free parking is right nearby.

The sauna is privately run and rented out on request: booking is done via direct message on Instagram or by phone, and the host helps you with practical information.

A charming little offering in Nord-Østerdalen – feel free to combine it with an ice-cold dip in the pond before you stroll back to the village. Note that this is a different facility from Alvdal Badstuelaug, which is located a few hundred meters away.
