What is glamping in Norway, and where can you try it?
What glamping means, the main types and examples around Norway.
Short answer
Glamping is camping with hotel comfort, and in Norway you can try it in Arctic domes, yurts, hanging cocoons, glass igloos, Sami lavvos and ice hotels, all year round. Visit Norway's examples include Dyrja Domes in Hemsedal, Norglamp's Arctic Dome on Randøy in Hjelmeland and the glass igloos at Lyngen North in Rotsund.
Why
- Visit Norway calls glamping a cross between a posh hotel and a campsite, where you do not need to carry heavy equipment.
- Many glamping places are also open in autumn and winter, so Visit Norway says you can go glamping in all seasons.
- According to Visit Norway, glamping yurts usually come with modern comforts and sometimes a private bathroom, and glass igloos have 180-degree floor-to-ceiling windows.
Details
In Northern Norway, Visit Norway also lists lavvo stays at Sámi Safari Camp in Drag and WonderInn Arctic in Borkenes. Further south there are options such as Glamping at Hurdalsjøen Hotel & Spa in Hurdal, Trolldome in Skogbygda on Romerike and Brokkestøylen Glamping & Glass Café in Rysstad. In ice hotels, guests keep warm in thermal sleeping bags under thick blankets.
Tip
Before you book, check what heating, bedding and bathroom facilities are included, since only some glamping yurts and tents have a private bathroom.
