1. Make love under the auroras

Getting it on in a snow igloo might only be for the most adventurous, but a heated glass-roofed igloo or lavvo tent on the other hand, would definitely do the trick. Maybe just for the sense of wonder – or maybe the intent of making 'the prettiest and happiest babies in the world', according to the many visitors that come to Norway to fulfil this particular dream. Explore Norway’s many cool ice hotels.

2. Do it Viking style

Forget about silk sheets and velvety nights. Think small and cosy log cabins, the comforting sound of a crackling fire, and the soft hide of a reindeer. Maybe the thrill of being in rough Viking surroundings is something you’ll come to enjoy!

3. Visit a troll’s famous member

Some consider it big, others small – but it’s not the size that matters. The Troll’s Cock, Trollpikken in Norwegian, might get your pulse elevated to above average, depending on your level of fitness, but the sub one-hour hour walk to the famous rock formation should inspire you to go home to your hotel and get intimate. Or, maybe it gives you the boost you need to continue on a little further, to the more challenging 'Troll’s Tongue' – Trolltunga.

4. Check in to a lovers’ nest

Go wild, baby! Take your lover to a place so far into the wilderness that your phone loses reception. You can find unique hotels in the most wonderfully remote places in Norway, where you can enjoy your partner’s undivided attention. A dramatic and rustic option is to stay one of Norway’s many beautiful lighthouses. Or find a true lovebird’s nest high up in the trees in one of the many great treetop cabins all over the country, and make the pines swing!

5. Go all natural

Norwegian nature is inspiring in so many ways. Do one of the most natural things in the world, as close to nature as you can get, without feeling shy. Seek shelter in one of the cool new glamping tents and arctic domes, with super comfy beds and a romantic stove. You can even stay in many of them even in winter!

6. Get hot, hotter, hottest

It’s important to get in the right mood. Although research shows that new places might be exciting enough in themselves, there are also some other magic tricks that might help you get there. One of them is to get rid of all that everyday stress, loosen up your muscles and relax completely. Book a hotel with a nice spa or a jacuzzi under the northern lights, or a fire-heated hot tub under the stars. Your partner is sure to purr with delight afterwards, when you head back to your room for some fun! Just be careful to not fall asleep right away ...

By the way, did you know that having sex also is an excellent way to improve your fishing luck? Ask any experienced fisherman in the North – they truly know the importance of good 'haill', or a good roll in the hay, in order to secure the best catch!

...and there's more:

Norway has an abundance of romantic accommodation and experiences. Surprise someone special with a night in one of Norway’s most exclusive hotels, book a table for two at a Michelin-starred restaurant or set sail on an unforgettable cruise on board Hurtigruten – the world’s most beautiful sea voyage.

These romantic places and experiences are a perfect escape for couples.
