Fatbike

Daytime fatbike trip

Join us for a day trip along prepared fatbike, dog sledding and snowmobile trails in a snow-covered Finnmark landscape. Cool and fun experience with excellent photo opportunities!

Snowshoes

Snowshoes, Husky, Ice fishing & Lunch

Welcome to a four and a half hour trip to GLØD’s wilderness camp just outside Alta combining snowshoeing and ice fishing. A hot lunch is also included. We will be joined by a husky to help us pull the gear.

Accommodation

The Aurora Canvas Dome

Really cool, stylish accommodation where you are so close to nature that you see and hear the squirrel outside the big window of the dome. The warmth from the wood-burning stove and a nice down duvet will steer you safely through the night. If you are very lucky, you will see the Northern Lights in the sky above you from your bed.

Breakfast is included and is served in the GLØD lounge.

If you would like dinner in the evening, we can offer dinner Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. Dinner needs to be booked in advance.

The Domes have a small bathroom with toilet and you will find shower and sauna in the GLØD lounge about 30 m from the dome.

The Pine Forest Apt. Suite

Our new and elegant apartment for up to four (five) people is ideal for anyone who would prefer quiet and peaceful days in the pine forest in the countryside rather than staying in the town centre. You can relax and unwind in a peaceful setting where life and the time keep the same pace.

Breakfast is included and is served in the GLØD lounge.

If you would like dinner in the evening, we can offer dinner Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. Dinner needs to be booked in advance.

We offer nature based, Arctic adventures, activities and expeditions for individuals and groups. Explore by MTB, skis or snowshoes, on foot or by canoe – underneath the Northern Lights or the Midnight Sun, with the option of assistance from Alaskan huskies to pull a sled, pulk or carry packsaddles.

Our lodging – The cool Aurora Canvas Dome and the stylish Pine Forest Apartment – are two options to those who seek to make the accommodation in to an experience!
