Ilsetra Hotell, perched at nearly 1,000 meters above sea level atop Hafjell, offers a distinctive mountain sauna experience. Built on the foundations of an old mountain pasture from the 1600s, the hotel combines traditional Norwegian mountain culture with modern wellness facilities.

Adjacent to the outdoor pool, a separate building houses both a steam sauna and a dry sauna. The saunas are open daily from 17:00 to 19:00, providing a perfect way to unwind after a day of skiing or hiking in the surrounding mountains.
The Outdoor Pool
The heated outdoor pool maintains a comfortable 28 degrees and is located right outside the hotel, open daily from 17:00 to 18:00. Swimming with a view of the Hafjell mountains is an unforgettable experience.
