Hot Bird Saunas

Hot Bird Saunas in Waitsfield, Vermont is a wood-fired outdoor sauna experience in the Mad River Valley — one of Vermont’s most beloved four-season recreation destinations, home to Sugarbush Resort and Mad River Glen and surrounded by the Green Mountains’ most dramatic terrain. Hot Bird brings the authentic sauna experience to the heart of a valley known for its commitment to outdoor living, farm-to-table culture, and community wellness.

Sessions alternate between the wood-fired heat of the sauna and cold plunges in natural water — the Mad River Valley’s rivers, ponds, and streams providing a naturally chilled immersion option that amplifies the physiological benefit and visceral pleasure of contrast therapy. For skiers arriving from Sugarbush or Mad River Glen, cyclists finishing the Gap routes, hikers descending from the Long Trail, or Mad River Valley residents building a consistent wellness practice, Hot Bird Saunas offers an experience that is authentically and unmistakably Vermont.
