Active Winter Weekend – GLØD Explorer

This package includes our popular evening tours Hunting the Northern Lights and Aurora & fatbike. The daytime activities are dog sledding with Trasti&Trine and a snowmobile safari including a guided tour at Sorrisniva Igloo Hotel! Spend the nights in our stylish Aurora Canvas Dome in the small pine forest right beside Glød HQ.

The activities

This package is a super compact edition of Alta’s top winter experiences. For the activities provided by our partners, you will be picked up at Glød HQ, given the necessary instruction, clothing and safety equipment and dropped back after a wonderful adventure.

This package is also suitable for children from age 9-10. (We have small fatbikes).

Transfers

We will meet you on arrival at Alta Airport and transport your safely to Glød for check-in. A transfer back to the airport on departure and all transfers between activities are included.

Accommodation

You spend the nights in our stylish Aurora Canvas Dome, which is situated in a small pine forest on the fringes of the “England forest” behind Glød HQ. We and our architect believe this takes glamping to a whole new level! The dome features a large and extremely comfortable Wonderland bed, nice down duvets, a wood-burning stove, underfloor heating, electricity and Wi-Fi. The wall facing northwards and much of the roof are transparent, which enables you to experience the Northern Lights, weather, wind, small birds and squirrels from the warm and cosy atmosphere. A modern toilet and bathroom just a stone’s throw from the dome.

Alternatively, you can stay in our modern and stylish Pine Forest Apartment, which is also an excellent option for families.

Meals

The following meals are included: breakfast each morning, lunch on day 2 & 3, light meal (Soup of the Evening) before Hunting the Northern Lights (first evening) and dinner after the sauna (second evening).
