The Empava Hot/Cold Plunge (recently profiled as part of our KBIS coverage) has a worthy counterpart in Thermasol’s Nordic Misty Outdoor Sauna.

Like all Thermasol products, Nordic Misty is a plug-and-play experience that offers endless options to customize and configure—logically culminating in a veritable backyard oasis.

The sauna itself is compact and contained. 2-3 or 4-6 person models come standard with heat-treated spruce on the outside and heat-treated aspen within, definitely aiming for the ineffable Scandinavian zeitgeist known as “hygge.”

In fact, looking at Nordic Misty, you’d think yourself amid the forests of Finland—no small achievement for a Texas-based company.

In addition to the ambiance of the aforementioned wooden walls, Nordic Misty comes standard with a woodburning sauna heater or 10.5kW virta sauna heater (with stones); tinted, double-glazed windows; door with wooden handle, roller latch, and external lock set; accessories including firewood basket, thermometer, bucket, and ladle; and an integrated bench that lifts up for easy cleaning.

Nordic Misty arrives via flatbed fully assembled and with a complete roof. Unloading takes about 30-60 minutes with three to four people—not too much work to be done before basking in its warm glow.

Lastly, Nordic Misty is a modular system. Users may add the pergola, terrace, changing room, garden/privacy fence, and even the hot soak—either all-at-one-go or piecemeal. Additional elements may be added to the sauna at any time: “expand from a standalone sauna into a full wellness oasis.”
