Glaecier is a private members club, which means it’s not possible to visit Glaecier outside of the Open Gus sessions. A daypass is not available.
You are also free to apply for a regular membership, if you live in Denmark and want to be part of the community. You can read more and apply for membership here.
The days around Christmas and New Year are also reserved for members only.
Our membership process is simple — but a little different than a traditional waiting list:
1. Sign up for the lobby
To get started, head to our Sign Up page. This takes you to our Lobby, which is a free and non-binding space where you submit your application and wait to potentially receive an invitation to join the club.
2. Wait for an invitation
The Lobby isn’t a classic, chronological waiting list. Instead, it functions as a pool of applicants. New members are selected at random to ensure a diverse and balanced community — which means invitations aren’t sent out in the order people sign up. Some may receive an invite quickly, while others may wait longer.
When it’s your turn, you’ll receive an invitation to attend a mandatory intro session before officially becoming a member.
Our membership pricing is based on age group. The following monthly rates apply:
Students (all ages): 299 DKK/month
Ages 18–24: 299 DKK/month
Ages 25–29: 349 DKK/month
Ages 30–65: 449 DKK/month
Ages 65+: 349 DKK/month
There is a one-time startup fee of 399 DKK.
Cancellation:
The notice period is one month, effective from the 1st of the month.
The membership has an initial binding period of three months.
Important note for students:
If you wish to register with the student discount, you’ll need to manually send us a valid student ID with a visible expiry date to community@glaecier.com.
Please only send your student ID after you’ve received an invitation to join and completed your mandatory intro session.
To ensure valid use of student IDs, we ask for confirmation from your institution’s service desk before applying the student discount.
We only approve the student membership if your education is eligible for SU (the Danish student grant).
Open Gus is your chance to experience the Glaecier facilities without a membership — for just 399 DKK.
These sessions take place on Tuesday evenings, from 6:30–8:00 PM and 8:30–10:00 PM.
A Gus session is a traditional sauna ritual where water infused with essential oils is poured onto hot stones, releasing steam and creating an intense, immersive heat. Each session includes three sauna rounds of approximately 12 minutes, guided by a skilled Gus master. Between rounds, you’ll have time to cool off in the outdoor pool and recharge with light refreshments.
This practice is known to promote relaxation, detoxification, and improved circulation.

Yes! As a Glaecier member, you’re welcome to join an Open Gus session at a special member price of 99 DKK.
This can be a great opportunity to experience a Gus with a friend who isn’t a member.
Here’s how it works:
You, as a member, book your spot via the Glaecier app. The 99 DKK fee will be automatically charged to your Glaecier account.
Your friend, who is not a member, books their ticket via our website at the standard price of 399 DKK.
Please make sure there are available spots for both you and your friend on the app and website before you each book individually.
When attending an Open Gus as a member, please wait at the gate together with the other participants. We need the time and space between sessions to clean and prepare the area.
If you need to cancel your Open Gus booking with Glaecier Community, please email us at community@glaecier.com at least 24 hours before the scheduled session.
Cancellations made more than 24 hours in advance are eligible for a full refund.
Cancellations made less than 24 hours before the event are non-refundable.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
Members with an active payment agreement can visit Glaecier up to 10 times per month.
Joining a member gus sessions, events, and general use of the facilities outside of scheduled sessions count towards these 10 visits.
If you wish to join a member gus, please book your session in the app — this grants you permission to participate.
If you simply wish to enjoy the facilities, you are welcome to use the outdoor area, lounge, or sauna.
As a member, you may stay and use the facilities for as long as you like within your booked time. However, if you are not booked for a gus session, you may not use the facilities during that session out of respect for the members who are participating.
The same rule applies during events.
If this rule is violated, the member may receive a temporary suspension. Membership fees will still apply during this period, as the suspension is considered a disciplinary measure rather than a cancellation.
Members who check in more than 10 times a month will be charged a fee of 249 DKK per additional visit and may face suspension for any breach of the rules.
As a member, there is nothing you can do to influence the process of membership offering; it is entirely random. You can simply enjoy your membership at Glaecier and patiently await your friend’s offer of membership.
You can cancel a gus or event up to 2 hours before it starts – however, if you are moved from the waiting list to a confirmed spot shortly before the cancellation deadline, it is the member’s own responsibility to cancel if they are unable to attend.
Certainly! As a member, you’re welcome to bring up to two friends at a time during normal member opening hours.
To do so, simply purchase a Bring a Friend ticket in the Glaecier app once you are at Glaecier. Please note: the ticket (reservation) is only valid for 10 minutes. If it’s not used within that time, the charge will be automatically refunded – and you can always make a new reservation. After purchase, scan the QR code to print the temporary wristbands for your guests.”
Note: It is not permitted to bring guests to Membersgus sessions. If a member brings a guest to a membergus the member will be suspended.
If you’d like to experience a saunagus with a friend, you can:
– Book your own member spot for an Open Gus session in the app (special price: 99 DKK).
– Ask your friend to book a non-member ticket on our website under “Book” (399 DKK) .
Please note: There are only a limited number of member spots available during Open Gus to ensure space for non-members to explore our facilities.
On the last Monday of each month between 2 pm and 4:30 pm, you’re welcome to bring a guest aged 12 or older. Normally, Glaecier is 18+, but we’ve introduced this gentle initiative to help younger guests connect more deeply with their body and mind, and to encourage cosy, meaningful family time for the members who already use Glaecier.
No. Everyone must scan their own bracelet to enter. Letting someone in by following behind (“tailgating”), even if they’ve just forgotten their bracelet, is not allowed and may result in a temporary suspension of one month, or expulsion. Thanks for helping us keep the community safe and fair!
A Member Gus is a special sauna experience created by our members, for our members.
Each week, we host Member Gus sessions with different themes and focuses – all offered free of charge for Glaecier members.
Our gusmasters are fellow members who volunteer their energy and creativity to create unique sauna moments for the community. They are not necessarily certified professionals – we value the person behind the gus, the energy they bring, and how they contribute to the Glaecier spirit. As a gusmaster in Glaecier, you receive a complimentary membership as a thank-you for your contribution.
We don’t categorize or label our gus sessions – for us, it’s about authentic connection. We believe no one should be asked to perform a “happy upbeat gus” when what they really want to share is calm and grounding. At Glaecier, it’s about finding the gusmaster whose energy matches yours – and recharging together in the sauna.
Joining a gus without a booking goes against our community rules and may lead to 1 month suspension.
We appreciate your understanding and support in helping us keep Glaecier a trust-based sauna club.
If you’re a member and would like to become a gusmaster, we’d love to hear from you! Write to us at community@glaecier.com.
Book your spot through the Glaecier app — only participate if you’ve booked a place.
If you can’t join, cancel at least 2 hours before the session starts. Failure to cancel or not showing up will result in a no-show fee of 199 DKK charged to your account.
You’ll be automatically checked in when you scan your Glaecier wristband at the entrance within 60 minutes before the session starts.
Arriving more than 10 minutes late will also result in a no-show fee of 199 DKK.
Be respectful of the experience: if a gus round is active when you arrive, please wait until the next round before entering the sauna.
As a member, you can check in at the earliest one hour before your gus session. You are of course welcome to arrive earlier and enjoy the facilities, but before the session starts you will need to go out and scan your wristband at the gate to be officially checked in. This does not count as an extra day pass.
Of course!
As a Glaecier member you will be invited to frequent activities, enjoy exclusive discounts at local shops and through exciting brand collaborations, and meet an inspiring mix of people who share the same passion for cold and heat exposure.
We also host special Thursday events from time to time, where guest brands, creators, and inspiring individuals come to entertain, educate, and enrich our members with new knowledge and experiences. These events are included in your membership – no extra cost, just more value and inspiration.
Are you a member with a vision, a story, or a brand you’d love to share with the Glaecier community?
We’d love to help you grow and showcase what you do. Write to us at community@glaecier.com – we’re always excited to collaborate with our members.
The Glaecier membership fee is paid in advance. This means that on the first of every month, you will pay for that month. For new members joining Glaecier at any point during a given month, it’s important to note that they will typically pay for the rest of that current month and for the following month, which can sometimes lead to initial confusion.
Be mindful, that all purchases such as protein bars, Bring a Friend tickets, electrolytes etc. will be added to your monthly charge.
If you have any doubts about you Glaecier payment, please reach out to us at community@glaecier.com
It is not possible to pause a Glaecier membership.
To terminate your Glaecier membership, simply send an e-mail to community@glaecier.com.
We’re always looking to improve, so if you choose to cancel, we’d really appreciate hearing your feedback or reasons for leaving – it helps us make Glaecier even better for our community.
Yes. All members are bound by our current Terms and Conditions, which govern membership rights, responsibilities, and conduct. You can review the full Terms and Conditions here. We encourage all members to read them carefully, as continuing membership implies acceptance of these terms.

Your Glaecier wristband is strictly personal and serves as your access card to the Glaecier facilities. It is essential that you wear it at all times when entering and using our facilities. All members are required to scan their own Glaecier wristband both when entering and leaving the boat. Even if the gate is already open or you arrive with another member, it is still required that you scan your own wristband for proper tracking and security.
Note: Failure to comply with the rules regarding the use of the membership wristband may result in the termination of your membership.
It is not allowed to enter Glaecier if your wristband does not work or if you forgot to bring it. In that case you need to contact us at: community@glaecier.com and await a solution or go home and pick up your wristband and come back.
It is also not allowed to jump the gate or to find other creative solutions to enter Glaecier if your wristband doesn’t work or if you forgot it at home. This can lead to termination of your membership.
