Permits differ from canton to canton
Swiss cantons decide which small buildings may go up without a permit, and for a sauna it often matters whether the building is heated. Zurich looks at size, while several other cantons only exempt unheated sheds. The canton-by-canton overview is here: building permit for a garden sauna.
Costs, models and sauna cultures
Guide prices start at around CHF 5,000 to 6,000 for a small barrel sauna with an electric heater, while cabins often reach CHF 10,000 to 20,000; foundation, power and transport are extra. All items are broken down in the outdoor sauna cost guide.
