Badstuen i Lårdal

Badstuen i Lårdal stands right at the water's edge by Lårdalsåi, where the river meets Bandak and the Telemark Canal. The sauna is run by Lårdal Tretopphytter and is fired with wood for real, soft heat.

You book the whole sauna privately for up to six people, at a pleasant hourly rate and with a minimum of two hours' notice. From the pier with a bathing ladder, you plunge straight into Bandak's clear water between rounds.

Open every day from late morning to late evening, all year round. Feel free to combine it with a night in the treetop cabins – Vest-Telemark at its coziest.
