Lysefjorden Sauna in Forsand

Take a break and enjoy the stunning view at the entrance to the Lysefjord from Explore Lysefjorden's sauna in Forsand, Ryfylke.

There’s little that beats sitting comfortably and warmly, gazing out during the twilight hour while feeling the sense of well-being spread through your body. A refreshing dip in the sea or the hot tub outside is, of course, a must. And the best part? Saunas are pure health benefits. Blood circulation improves, stress levels drop, and the immune system gets a boost. Yes, please, is all we can say.
