All year
Light and dark at Agnavika
At the winter solstice there is daylight from about 08:44 to 16:25. Then 4 of 6 sessions on a Monday are fully or partly in the dark. The sauna is open all year. Every session in the booking tells you whether it is light outside, gets dark during the session, or is dark.
The price follows the firewood
In the morning the sauna is cold after the night, and you use more wood to heat it. That is why the morning session is the longest and the cheapest.

| Morning rate | Monday–Wednesday and Friday 08:00–11:00 | 3 hours | NOK 70 | NOK 50 |

Firewood is extra. Bring your own, or buy firewood for NOK 120 when you book. One clip costs about NOK 78. It pays off on sessions at the day rate and the weekend rate. At the morning rate a single ticket is cheaper.
