Sauna experiences with Sauna People
Join us in the warmth!
Join us for great sauna experiences with the authors behind the book Badstufolk
The Norwegian sauna culture has had a real boom, and few places are flourishing more per capita than in our village – the sauna village of Vang.
In 2021, the Norwegian writers Knut Lerhol and Hallgrim Børhus Rogn published the book Badstufolk , where they took a deep dive into Norwegian sauna history, and did not collect the recipes for the best sauna experiences. Sauna culture is about much more than just heat, smoke and sweat.
Join us on an exciting and warming sauna journey, starting in our spectacular sauna in the river gorge by the hotel!
