If you’re in the market for a post-lockdown excursion to somewhere breathtaking – with a little splash of wacky thrown in for good measure – then allow us to point you in the direction of Norway.
There you’ll find high altitude luxury cabins with views of fjords, a glass igloo, an igloo hotel, a place to stay that’s so remote you can only reach it by snowmobile and more panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows than you can shake a Viking helmet at.
Views to die for come pretty much as standard throughout. Here we present 17 of Norway’s most unique places to stay…
