The council extends morning hours at Svalbardhallen

Starting the day at Svalbardhallen is now even easier. The council is expanding its morning offer and giving more opportunities to exercise, swim or simply enjoy a warm, quiet moment in the sauna.

It is now possible to start the day with both exercise and wellbeing. The gym opens as early as 05:00 on regular weekdays. For those who like to exercise early, this is good news. From Monday to Friday the sauna can also be used in the morning from 06:30 to 08:00. On Wednesday and Friday mornings the sauna can be combined with a morning swim.

With the new opening times, visitors can choose what suits them:

05:00: the gym opens.

06:30: the sauna opens, Monday to Friday.

06:30: morning swim, Wednesday and Friday.

The sauna ticket costs the same as a regular swimming pool ticket. It gives access to both facilities when they are open. Swimming pool tickets that also give access to the sauna can be bought through a link in the notice.

The council welcomes visitors to an even better start to the day at Svalbardhallen.
