Bespoke Sauna Cabins

Experience the art of relaxation, crafted by hand in the Alps

At River Wood Interiors, we bring the warmth of Alpine craftsmanship to a new frontier – bespoke sauna cabins handmade in our Morzine workshop. Designed for those who value natural materials, fine detailing, and architectural beauty, each sauna cabin is a one-of-a-kind creation that blends seamlessly into its mountain surroundings of Haute-Savoie. 

Custom-Built Sauna Cabins for Chalets and Alpine Homes

Whether you’re adding a freestanding garden sauna, a moveable sauna on a trailer or a permanent outdoor wellness space, every project is made to measure in our workshop using locally sourced wood and modern insulation techniques.

Each cabin is designed to perform in mountain climates – fully insulated, thermally wrapped and ventilated for optimal airflow and long-lasting heat retention.

Choose Your Power Source

  • Wood-Fired Sauna Units: For traditionalists who love the crackle of wood and the scent of pine resin.

  • Electric Sauna Units: For quick heat-up times, precise temperature control, and modern convenience.

Our team can advise on energy output, installation requirements, and the best configuration for your site and usage.

Interior Elegance in Natural Woods

The beauty of a River Wood sauna lies in its interior detailing – smooth, aromatic and finished to perfection. Choose from premium thermo woods such as:

  • Aspen: Pale, soft, and refined; ideal for a contemporary Nordic feel.

  • Norway Spruce: Classic Alpine timber with gentle scent and pale honey tone.

  • Cedar: Rich aroma and natural resistance to moisture.

  • Black Alder: Subtle reddish warmth, a high-end modern aesthetic.

Each timber is carefully finished for comfort, durability, and design harmony with your property.

Exterior Cladding Options

Make your sauna a sculptural feature in your landscape. We offer a curated range of external finishes including:

  • Reclaimed Alpine wood: Sustainable, aged character with modern joinery precision.

  • Hardwood or softwood paneling: Custom profiles, brushed or patinated.

  • Metal or copper detailing: For door sheeting, trims or accent panels that reflect light and weather beautifully.

For a truly distinctive look, consider Shou-Sugi-Ban – the Japanese art of charring wood to achieve a blackened, fire-preserved finish that contrasts strikingly with snow, stone and sky. The process enhances durability while creating a bold, tactile surface.

Fixed or Mobile Structures

  • Fixed installations: Integrated into your terrace, garden, or near a hot tub for a permanent wellness retreat.

  • Trailer-mounted saunas: Moveable, road-ready builds that can be repositioned or rented seasonally between different chalets.

Each design is engineered for structural integrity, ease of transport and enduring beauty.

Architecturally Designed for Beauty and Value

Our sauna cabins are not only functional – they are architectural statements. Each is drawn and designed with proportion, light and texture in mind. A bespoke sauna can increase the value of a property by an estimated 10–15%, while enriching your lifestyle with year-round wellbeing and visual impact.
