7. Stay on track

It can be hard to sleep on a noisy train, but the retro train wagons for rent at the Veggli Inn are absolutely quiet.

When you wake up, you can cycle along the deserted Numedalsbanen rail tracks on a draisine.

8. Salmon train

Thanks to the The Namsen salmon and train experience, you can also stay in a restored train from the 1960s.

The train is permanently parked on a bridge in the middle of the Namsen river, one of the best salmon rivers in the country.

11. Arctic boutique

There are very few places in the world where you can stay as far away from civilization as at Isfjord Radio Adventure Hotel, located on the west coast of Svalbard.

The station is originally from 1933 …

... but has been transformed into one of Norway's most exclusive hotels. It even has its own panoramic-view sauna.

Will you spot a polar bear?

12. Warm winter night

You will never forget a night at Sorrisniva Igloo Hotel in Alta, the northernmost alternative among Norway's cool ice hotels. With a bit of luck, you’ll get to see the northern lights dance across the sky before you fall asleep between reindeer skins.

Good night!
