The sauna offering in the area
According to our own overview, there are 21 saunas in Bergen from before. In the whole of Western Norway, 225 saunas are registered. The most common types in the area are outdoor (9), indoor (7) and wood-fired (6). Among the existing offerings in the city are AdO arena, Arna Sauna, Artesia Spa Hotel Norge and Bergen Flyt. The new company will thus enter a market with several established players.
What we do not know yet
The register information says nothing about when a potential sauna will open, where it will be located, what prices will apply or what the offering will otherwise consist of. It is also not known whether the company has entered into agreements regarding premises or operations. In other words, we know that a company has been established, but not whether or when it will operate sauna activities.
