Embark on an unforgettable adventure in Alta, north of the Arctic Circle, with our exclusive experience package, designed for thrill-seekers and nature lovers alike. This extraordinary journey includes a variety of exciting activities set against the breathtaking backdrop of Norway's stunning landscapes.
A brilliant, long day trip from mountain to fjord, where we start at lake Jotkavann on the Finnmarksvidda mountain plateau and bike all the way down to Glød HQ in the Alta Valley.
A canoeing adventure down the Alta River is a must for anyone wishing to experience something truly wonderful! You rarely get so close to nature as you do in a canoe. There will also be nice breaks and time to relax around an open fire on the riverbank. On this day trip, spending quality time together is at least as important as the nature-based experience itself.
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 a 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 elegant Boutique 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 can be included and will be served in the GLØD lounge.

A tribute to one of Alta’s most iconic MTB trails. 🌲
We’ve been working on something special for No Limits this weekend, inspired by a trail where smooth pine-needle flow gives way to technical sections, where the forest feels untouched, and where moose, foxes, and birds are often your only company beneath the Midnight Sun.
It’s a trail that winds through quiet forest sections and some of the landscapes that make mountain biking in Alta so special.
For us, this trail captures everything we love about riding here — and we wanted to create something that pays tribute to it.
👀 Can you guess the trail that inspired it — and the special surprise we’ve created for No Limits?
🚵 No Limits MTB Festival 📍 Alta, Northern Norway 📅 This weekend 19-21 Juni
Registration for No Limits is available via the link in our bio.
Behind the scenes at GLØD - great outdoor experiences start long before guests arrive. 😎
Today, two of our guides and our CEO traded backpacks for tools, spending the day installing a bridge along one of the local MTB trails near the Alta River.
Later this evening, locals gathered further along the trail for a traditional Norwegian dugnad, building another MTB bridge for everyone who enjoys spending time on the trails. 🚵
A dugnad is a Norwegian tradition of giving your time to help the community. It’s a small part of what makes Norway’s trails, cabins, and outdoor spaces so special. 🇳🇴
At GLØD, we believe great outdoor experiences start long before guests arrive. Whether it’s guiding adventures, maintaining trails, or supporting local events, we’re proud to play a small part in caring for the places we all enjoy.
And with No Limits MTB Festival just around the corner, it’s safe to say the trails are getting ready too. 🚵♀️
Vinteren vil nok alltid være høysesongen vår på GLØD, men sommeren begynner virkelig også å finne sin plass.
For oss handler sommeren ikke bare om å ta imot gjester fra hele verden. Den handler også om å skape møteplasser og opplevelser for lokalsamfunnet – steder hvor folk kan møtes, være ute og skape gode minner sammen.
Sist helg ønsket VI velkommen til GLØD Pub Night og Sommerkafé. I august samles vi igjen til Halddemarsjen. Men først står en av sommerens store høydepunkter for tur:
🚵 No Limits MTB Festival 📍 Alta 📅 19.–21. juni
Sammen med Halddetoppen Telemarkslaug inviterer vi til ei helg fylt med stisykling, naturopplevelser, bålprat og godt selskap.
Enten du er erfaren stisyklist, sykler litt innimellom, kommer med elsykkel eller bare er nysgjerrig på terrengsykling, finnes det en tur som passer deg. Gjennom helga tilbyr vi guidede turer på grønt, blått og rødt nivå – med fokus på mestring, sykkelglede og fellesskap.
Stiene er klare, badstua blir varm, Single Track Pub åpner dørene, og midnattssola gjør resten.
