Hei hei! Thanks for watching the episode and I hope you'll enjoy the video. I'd love to hear from you so feel free to leave a comment below :) Pål

[@samhouston5217]

Definitely will do this! Used to jacuzzi and then jump and roll in the snow and then back in the jacuzzi. Thank you for this and all your videos.

[@norwaywithpal]

Yea you really should give it a go! So much fun and a really refreshing experience :)

[@TillerTales]

“That’s refreshing “ he says 😂😂😂 Awesome Pål. Nice Norrona jacket by the way.

[@norwaywithpal]

haha, some other expressions (not suited for youtube) went through my head :P

[@TillerTales]

@@norwaywithpal I have a pretty good idea 👍😂

[@SeekingSnow]

Floating saunas -that is such a great idea! Thanks for sharing Pål.

[@norwaywithpal]

You welcome! Yea its very cool, and some of them also have.a small engine and can be taken out on the fjord

[@JustAHolyFoolBaby]

Omg! I'm going to Norway (Oslo & Tromso) this December, and I really want to do this (and I will...), but thanks for providing information! It makes it easy to find the right places to contact! :)

[@norwaywithpal]

Hi PinoyGlobeTrotter, glad you found the video helpful! I hope you'll have a great stay in Oslo & Tromsø :)

[@troo_story]

I laughed - a lot - at your first outtake coming out the fjord! WAY too cold. 🤣 🇬🇧

[@norwaywithpal]

Haha most freezing moment of the year 🥶

[@bubuxor]

lol, so funny! thank you for this video. I hope I could visit Oslo in few years and try this experience!

[@norwaywithpal]

I hope you will! :) Thanks for watching

[@thelostone6981]

I hope to see some new videos! Even if it these types of videos where you go around Oslo. Maybe tour the different the neighborhoods? My wife’s mor mor was from Grüneløkka and it was nice to visit there when I was in Norway a few years back. But I would like to see other neighborhoods and learn more. Plus other food videos and culture videos plus!! And I laughed at you jumping into Oslo fjord!!! 😂😂

[@norwaywithpal]

Hei hei The Lost One, thanks for checking out my videos. I've been so busy this summer tour guiding that I have not had time to publish any new episodes. BUT more will come later this fall :D. stay tuned and ha det bra :)

[@vincegordon6830]

Hi Pal 👋 I’m really enjoying your channel! Great videos, helpful information!

[@norwaywithpal]

Thanks a lot, Tusen Takk Vince!!

[@acfizz]

when are you going to post again?

[@CooperJeanne]

Love the genuine reaction after jumping into sub zero cold water 😅

[@norwaywithpal]

hehe.. it was not planned, just could not stay calm

[@awake144k]

Breathtaking!

[@norwaywithpal]

Thanks!

[@PyroClit]

I had the opportunity to take a dip mid winter where it was all frozen. Best thing i have done since coming to Oslo. Just put on warm clothes afterward because it will hurt. Like a lot.

[@norwaywithpal]

Wonderful! I did one in January, and agree it’s a great experience!

[@TimNelson]

Wonderful!!! Cheers from the US!!!

[@norwaywithpal]

Thanks Tim! :)

[@chrees88]

Great video!

[@norwaywithpal]

Thanks!

[@AnthonyKongSYD]

lol. thx for an informative yet entertaining video. Can a tourist rent towels from somewhere? Do hotels generally provide towels for this purpose?

[@norwaywithpal]

Some hotels can provide it. Or just borrow one and ask for forgiveness later ;)

[@johnhinds1579]

I love a sauna, but jumping in the fjord would be too much for my body to adjust if it as cold as you say. Interesting video!!!

[@norwaywithpal]

hehe, it was definitely cold! Maybe even colder than it looks, as I was trying hard to not show ;)

[@bezzerwizzer6448]

We have this in Hamar also. Hamar is a real diamond, to be honest, with a lot to offer for a visitor .

[@norwaywithpal]

I bet it is! I should go to Hamar soon and do some exploring (and sauna)

[@uyenandchris2982]

Great video! We love to take a sauna, I only wish we could fit one on our vega :-D

[@norwaywithpal]

Hehe I would have loved to have one on my Vega as well. Thanks for watching the video!

[@nathanielfawcett6577]

Looks great

[@norwaywithpal]

Thanks!

[@evygil]

awesome!

[@tshansen]

Hahaha, when you come up from the water that first time 🤣 Cold water is without a doubt my kryptonite 🙈 Love that you got to interact with the people there, and the woman in charge of the place. Really well done and thought trough video mate. Did you have a second camera man there a couple of times or did you set the gimbal to do some of the work for you? Always enjoy these videos. I see the sauna is quite popular here in Bergen as well 🇳🇴

[@norwaywithpal]

Thanks Thomas! It was a new experience to do such an episode, and I hope to do more. I had a cameraman (aka friend of mine) to help out. When I interviewed Ragna we shot some of the questions twice from different angles. Really makes a nice effect of having several cameras in action. Can't say I love the freezing water, but sure feels good to go into the sauna afterwards :)

[@giembusa]

Wish someday I can visit that beautiful Norway and see the fjords

[@norwaywithpal]

I hope you’ll make it over here some day soon!

[@semadeniconny2618]

Hello pol, are you also doing a guided tour with a visit to the sauna? Conny

[@norwaywithpal]

Hi Conny! Yes I can also do guided tours with a Sauna visit :) norwaywithpal.com/oslo-local-tour-guide/

[@user-bm125]

Being Norwegian but having Finnish ancestors, I must highlight that the video creator of this should highlight that Sauna in that form comes from Finland 🇫🇮

[@norwaywithpal]

Hi there! You are of course right. If I make an episode about the history of the sauna I will of course highlight that.

[@user-bm125]

@@norwaywithpal tusen takk Pål og God jul 😍🙏 thanks and happy holidays.

[@feriklimes1035]

Hello Pal, thanks for a great infromative contet yet again. I would like to ask if it is in your knowledge, can you rent a towel here or do you really need 2 towels? If is it possible, can you enter sauna in swimsuit(wet swimsuit) and then just have one towel to sit on? Thank you for your answer.

[@norwaywithpal]

Hi there! As far as I know you can not rent a towel. Nobody will kick you out if you only bring one towel. The reason they recommend two towels is to have one to sit on, and one to dry yourself with. You can enter the sauna with a (wet) swimsuit, most people do, but of course if you sit on your towel it'll be wet and sweaty. Enjoy the saunas! :D

[@eduardotormo6928]

Love it! ❤

[@norwaywithpal]

Thank you! 😊

[@vanme739]

Det ser så forfriskende og litt sprøtt ut! Sounds like something I would try 😁👍🏻

[@norwaywithpal]

Ja det føles litt galskap å hoppe uti såpass kaldt vann, men det var en forfriskende følelse :)

[@Andrejus39]

Super !

[@norwaywithpal]

Thanks :)

[@semadeniconny2618]

Hei hei i thanks for the Video from the Sauna i like to go 😊 I will bi in Oslo today 😊

[@norwaywithpal]

Hei hei, thanks for checking out the video. You should go try out some sauna then :)

[@prideh.easttown3730]

Cool

[@norwaywithpal]

Thanks!

Actually just been and done this, was amazing! Uploaded a video of the experience if anyone needs more inspo 🐟

[@northernmajor407]

Hei Pal, hvordan har du det? Great to see your new video! :D

[@norwaywithpal]

Hei Hei Northern Major, alt står bra til, takk :) Thanks for checking out the episode, I've been so busy lately I have not had time to make a lot of them.

[@afroceltduck]

Hmm, I wonder if the Opera performers enjoy the sauna before they have to suit up and sing? Or maybe after the performance is better?

[@norwaywithpal]

Haha good question. That cold water might help them reach the highest tones :)

[@vanme739]

After singing an entire opera in a hot costume I’d jump right into the fjord! Ahhhhhhh 😅🎶

[@norwaywithpal]

@@vanme739 😂

[@stevenjohnson7086]

I’ve been slowly learning Norwegian, and I found it a little funny that you pronounced sauna like I would here in the States, which would annoy a Finn, ha! But then you pronounced Oslo differently than you did in your driving video from Oslo-Bergen in the T3 :) I think it’s funny (warming, not sarcastic!) because it’s been mercilessly beat into me that I must change my mind with vowel pronunciation, ha! Forget how I think vowels sound ~ they have a whole new way to sound, haha! Really fun videos, Pål!

[@norwaywithpal]

Thanks Steven! My wife is Canadian and I work a lot with Americans so I have to admit that I tend to automatically Americanize my pronunciation. Good observation ;)

[@lutefisk123]

When my girlfriend Judy rolled in the snow with me after a sauna, back in 1975, I instantly she was the girl to marry...and I did a couple of years later :-)

[@norwaywithpal]

Hehe sounds like a fun memory you got there :)

[@tatianapereira703]

Can we drink there, brink drinks

[@norwaywithpal]

If you rent a private sauna you can bring beer, but no liquor. And only drink moderately. In the public saunas no alcohol is allowed

[@tatianapereira703]

@@norwaywithpal thank you !

[@myronas]

Great video!
