Heitlaugen Badstu

Heitlaugen Badstu is in Lundenes on Grytøya outside Harstad, run on a volunteer basis by Grytøya badstulaug. From the wooden benches you look through the pointed-arch window straight out to the sea and mountains, and the sea dip is waiting a few steps away.

The sauna is wood-fired, and you can choose to fire it yourself at a friendly price or have it heated up in advance by arrangement. A changing room is in place, and payment is easily handled with Vipps.

Booking is by message to the sauna club, which sends a code for the key box, and drop-in times are announced in the Facebook group. A true island-community offering for dip-loving swimmers in Sør-Troms.
