What is Glamping?

Glamping is ‘glamorous camping’, giving you all the traditional benefits of camping, but a more luxurious experience. When glamping, you’re essentially experiencing an upmarket version of camping, where you can still be close to nature, but enjoy all the conveniences of a modern accommodation solution.

You’ll find all the facilities and amenities you need to experience Norway in comfort, including a large bed, bathroom and electricity. Glamping options are usually located in fairly remote or secluded natural areas, away from big towns or cities, so you can soak in the beautiful natural environment in style.

If you choose to go glamping, you won’t have to bother with any of the worst aspects of camping, including the not-so-comfy air mattresses and sleeping bags, the cold of staying in a tent and needing to construct and carry all the equipment. Phew!

Can You Go Glamping in Norway?

Yes! Norway has a whole range of glamping options, including some really unique accommodation solutions that you’ll only find in this beautiful Nordic nation. When glamping in Norway, you can choose from bubble rooms, glass igloos, Arctic domes, yurts and other beautiful glamping options.

If you’ve considered camping in Norway, you might like to upgrade your experience and explore the options for glamping in Norway instead! Just keep in mind that glamping is, of course, more expensive than camping, so the cost of your Norway trip will be higher if you decide to go glamping.

You can go glamping in Norway at any time of year, whereas camping can be too cold during the winter months. If you plan to visit Norway in summer, such as a Norway July vacation, you could choose between glamping and camping, as it will most likely be warm enough for either. Glamping will always be more comfortable, though!

Top Options For Glamping in Norway

So, which glamping options would we most recommend in Norway? With so many options to choose from, it can be difficult to know where to start when researching for your Norway glamping trip. Let’s get started by exploring some of our top picks for glamping in Norway!

Arctic Domes

If you’ve heard of a Norway bubble hotel, it’s most likely referring to a dome accommodation option, or maybe even one of Norway’s glamping igloos.

Located right by the waterside of Hegni outdoor area, next to Hartevatn Lake, The Village Hovden Geodesic Dome is one such Norway bubble hotel. You’ll find the dome warm and cozy, no matter if the rain is pouring, snow is falling or wind is howling outside. Here, you can also participate in fun activities, including paddle boarding, yoga and boat trips.

Another great option is NorGlamp’s Arctic Domes, where you can wake up with a spectacular waterside view from a comfy queen size bed and even enjoy the luxury of a heated bathroom!

Glass Igloo Hotel

If you want to plan a glamping Northern Lights trip with a high likelihood of spotting these beautiful dancing lights for yourself, this is the perfect glamping igloo for you, as it’s located in the very north of Norway above the Arctic Circle.

Ice Hotel

Hanging Tent Cocoons
