A day trip down the Alta River by canoe is a must for anyone wishing to experience something truly wonderful! You rarely get so close to nature as you do in a canoe. No previous experience required – all necessary instruction will be given.
Join us for a three-day mountain biking adventure in the Alta Valley and on the Finnmarksvidda mountain plateau. This is the perfect trip for active groups or friends or families wishing to create great memories together on the bike seat in the nature.
A full-day MTB mountain biking adventure during which we experience the very best paths, trails and gravel roads on offer in the Alta Valley. The adventure concludes with our famous homemade hamburger when we return to GLØD HQ.
Accommodation
GLØD 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.
We can offer two or three course dinner every night. The menu varies according to the season, and we like to serve cod, lamb, reindeer, elk and salmon. Dinner must be ordered in advance.
The Aurora Canvas Domes have a small bathroom with toilet and you will find shower and sauna in the GLØD lounge about 30 m from the dome.
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.
