This is winter – Alta

Alta is renowned as a destination that provides winter adventures of high quality. A quick check of TripAdvisor will confirm this. This package combines the best Alta has to offer in the space of five days and features products from four different providers, all of whom have a reputation for delivering the highest quality.

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 and children’s skis.)

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 first three 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 from renewable sources 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. Each dome has its own toilet and wash-hand basin.

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

You will spend the last night at the Sorrisniva Igloo Hotel. We guarantee you won’t forget your nights in Alta either!

The following meals are included: breakfast each morning, lunch on days 2-4, light meal (Soup of the Evening and bread) before Hunting the Northern Lights (evenings 1-2), dinner after the sauna (evening 3) and a four-course dinner at Sorrisniva on the last evening.
