Norway Northern Lights Tours made for you

Set beside a fjord in the idyllic village of Solvorn, this charming hotel is one of the oldest family-run hotels in Norway, having been owned by the same family since 1690. The 22 comfortable rooms look out over the mountains, garden and Sognefjord. In fact, the gardens are among the hotel’s most prized features. Stroll between lilacs and fruit trees – it’s a peaceful and evocative place to unwind. Every evening a set four-course dinner is served as guests share tales of their day exploring the region. Enjoy dishes such as langoustines from the fjord, venison from the mountains, berries from nearby fields, farmhouse cheeses, home-made apple juice, and raspberry nectar. To celebrate the Nitter Walaker family’s 300-year jubilee at the hotel, a gallery was opened in 1990. The building was constructed in 1883 from material from an old church which dated back to around 1600. Work by local and international artists is featured, with many of them attending the opening of their exhibitions. Spend time exploring the fjords, rivers and small towns around the hotel. A variety of walking trails will take you to waterfalls, glaciers and stave churches.

Experience life as the trappers of the Arctic archipelago once did with a stay at the remote Trapper’s Station. Based approximately ten kilometres from the edge of Longyearbyen, this is a truly unique and hands-on place to lodge. Designed as a replica of an old trappers’ station and filled with artefacts, fur rugs, sealskins and oil lamps, the feel here is complete Arctic authenticity. The accommodation is made up of the trapper’s hut, and for a truly different experience, the secondary station and gamma. Reminiscent of a shelter used by trappers during their hunting trips, the secondary station provides four beds, while the gamma is styled as a wooden teepee hut where you can settle down into sleeping bags on reindeer skin. Let the everyday stresses of modern life trickle away as you get up close to this peaceful and relaxed wilderness on husky sled rides, before returning to the station for hearty four-course meals of Arctic food and flavours.

Perfectly placed along the waterside, Scandic Ishavshotel enjoys a fantastic setting just two minutes from the city’s shops and restaurants and is surrounded by beautiful mountain and Straits of Tromso views. Soak up these vistas from your room – or balcony if you opt for a suite. Modern facilities are strewn throughout the property, from well appointed rooms to heated bathroom floors to excellent restaurants. Breakfast is an utter feast here, while traditional Norwegian specialties provide tasty meals during the rest of the day. If you’re after a glimpse of the Northern Lights, ask reception for an Aurora wake-up call to ensure you don’t miss a second of the magical sight.

The picturesque 29/2 Aurland makes the most of its stunning Norwegian Fjords surroundings. Riverside Farm Lodge offers five fisherman’s cabin bedrooms in the Riverside Farm Lodge; two Goat Barn suites; and two East Wing rooms, as well as a cabin in Sørheim in Luster which can sleep up to eight people. An old traditional smokehouse on the property has been transformed into the breakfast and dining lounge. Having stood in as home for anglers for several generations, the decor in each of the rooms is inspired by people who had close links to the Aurlandselva river, and the spacious Jericho and Liverpool suites are perfect for couples or families. If secluded peace and quiet are top of your list, then follow the narrow road that winds along beside the Lustrafjord to the cabin, where time seems to slow down. Each of the buildings on the has been individually restored, with a focus on its history and the local community. The long-term plan is to convert some of the other buildings into suites in future. Go walking or cycling through the mountains and valleys, or take to the water in kayaks or a traditional Oselver. Go walking or cycling through the mountains and valleys, or take to the water in kayaks or a traditional Oselver rowboat.

Fitted out with entirely modern interiors and facilities, the lodgings fuse quaint historic character with contemporary comforts. It’s easy to make yourself at home here with each cabin, or rorbus, offering a vast amount of space with two bedrooms, a living room, kitchen and dining area spread over two floors. Fresh, local produce is prepared to create traditional, tasty dishes at the restaurant, while the Auavit Loft offers a cosy spot with superb sea, northern lights or midnight sun views.

Sitting among the spectacular landscapes of mountains, alpine forests, bright white beaches and turquoise ocean is Tromvik Lodge, a typically modern Scandinavian chalet with all the extra comforts. Based in the pretty, little fishing and farming village of Tromvik, this is an excellent base for keen anglers and mountain hikers. Large and airy, there’s plenty of room here for you and your clan with three bedrooms and top-notch amenities. Huge windows open out to gorgeous views – and the Northern Lights if you’re lucky – which you can enjoy from the bubbles of the outdoor jacuzzi, while the large porch is a picturesque summer BBQ spot.
