GLØD Explorer

Waiting for the Northern Lights is part of the magic. ✨

You stand in the Arctic night in Alta, Northern Norway. It’s cold. It’s quiet. You look up. You wait. And then — suddenly — the sky shifts.

That first ribbon of green. A soft burst of red. The moment you glance at someone beside you as if to say, “Are you seeing this too?”

Chasing the Northern Lights in Alta is never just about the aurora borealis. It’s about catching that shared moment — whether it’s with someone special, good friends, or new faces standing under the same Arctic sky.

On our Northern Lights tours in Northern Norway, our expert guides read the weather, track the forecasts, and take you to the best possible locations — from elevated viewpoints to quiet forest clearings. We offer both small-group public tours and private experiences, designed to give you space, comfort, and the best chance to witness the magic.

When the lights arrive — it’s worth the wait. 💚

At Glød’s Aurora Canvas Domes in Alta, Norway, guests wake up to quiet pine forest, a warm wood-burning stove, and the Arctic sky above. In winter, fresh snow surrounds the domes, and when the Aurora appears, you can watch it from bed. 🤍

With heating, king-size beds, private toilet, and optional three-course dinners in our lounge, this is Arctic glamping at its most comfortable.

If staying in a glass-fronted dome under the Northern Lights has been on your bucket list, this might be your moment. ☃️

More play. More fun. More speed. ⚡🚲
E-fat bikes are coming to Glød.

That means snowy trails, Arctic landscapes, and winter fat biking in Alta made more accessible for everyone — whether you ride a lot or just want to enjoy the experience. With electric fat bikes, the difference between super fit and “here for the fun” nearly disappears.

Winter just got even more playful. ☃️🩵

🚴‍♀️ Everyone’s welcome on the trail ❄️💚

Whether it’s your first time on a fatbike or you’re a seasoned rider, our guides (like Juliette!) are here to make sure you have an unforgettable time out in Alta’s winter wonderland.

At Glød, you don’t have to be “outdoorsy” to join the adventure — just curious. 😉
From public tours to private experiences, we’ll help you find your pace and enjoy the best of the Arctic, your way.

🐾 Winter’s coming — and our huskies know it! ❄️

The first snow has fallen in Alta, and our furry friends can already feel the season shifting — waiting for their favorite time of year. 🤍

At Glød, we don’t run dog sledding tours — our huskies are helpers, companions, and part of the team. Whether joining hikes, snowshoe adventures, ice fishing, or ski expeditions, they carry supplies, share the journey, and bring a little extra warmth to every Arctic day. 💚

Here’s to the season ahead. ✨
