Trosten gained international recognition when TIME Magazine named it one of the 100 Greatest Places in the World. This floating sauna at Sorenga in Oslo has become an iconic part of the city’s waterfront revival, drawing visitors from around the globe who want to experience the Norwegian sauna tradition in a truly special setting.
The sauna sits on the Oslo Fjord with views of the Opera House and the modern Barcode district. Guests heat up in the compact but atmospheric sauna before plunging into the fjord waters. The experience is quintessentially Norwegian: simple, social, and deeply connected to nature, even in the middle of the capital.
Due to its fame, Trosten can be difficult to book, especially during winter weekends when the contrast between hot sauna and cold fjord is at its most exhilarating. Plan ahead and book early. Swimwear is mandatory and the location is a short walk from central Oslo.
