New sauna business in Notodden: Notodden Badstulaug
New association registered in Notodden
Notodden Badstulaug has been registered in the Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises with organisation number 935461731. The registration took place on 8 May 2025, while the founding date is 26 March of the same year. The association is based at Kristian Lofthus gate 5 in Notodden municipality. According to its own information, the association will engage in “Sauna. Ice bathing. Nature experiences. Art and culture.”
What the register says
The organisation form is association/club/body. This means the activity is organised as a membership association, typically with volunteer operations and voluntary efforts, not as a commercial limited company. The association is not registered in the Register of Voluntary Organisations and is not VAT registered. The industry code is “Activities of other membership organisations n.e.c.” No number of employees is stated, and the association has no registered website.
The sauna offering in the area
There are already two saunas registered in Notodden municipality in our overview. The most common types in the area are wood-fired (2), outdoor (1), and floating (1). Among the existing offerings are Bolkesjø Gaard and Dugg Sauna. In the Eastern Norway region, there are a total of 174 saunas in our catalogue, and 599 nationwide. Notodden Badstulaug will thus become part of an already established sauna environment in the region, but it is not yet known how the association will distinguish itself or cooperate with existing actors.
What we do not know yet
The register information says nothing about when a potential sauna will open, where it will be located, what it will cost to use, or what concrete offering the association will provide. It is also not known whether the association plans fixed opening hours, memberships, or single tickets. We do not know whether agreements have been made with landowners or other actors, and we do not know whether the association has applied for necessary permits. Notodden Badstulaug is registered as an association, but that does not mean a sauna has been built or opened.
