Experience glamping stays in Innlandet close to nature
Glamping in Innlandet is a different kind of Norwegian nature stay — not the drama of the fjords, but the deep quiet of the inland: mirror lakes, elk-tracked forests, and valley farms that have been in the same families for generations. With three listings, each rated 4.9, comes with kitchen, toilet, shower, and a sauna. This is where Norway slows down — and that's exactly the point.
Innlandet's glamping options lean toward the traditional and the intimate — converted farmhouse annexes with full kitchens, canvas glamping tents pitched beside private lake access, and one property with a dedicated Finnish-style sauna. The architecture reflects the inland Norwegian aesthetic: practical, warm-toned, and built to last through hard winters.
The Gudbrandsdalen valley, Norway's longest, is Innlandet's spine — a river runs its length, the slopes rise steeply on both sides, and the light in late afternoon turns the whole thing golden. Sør-Fron and Ringebu sit at the heart of this valley, with easy access to both low river walks and high mountain terrain. Mjøsa, Norway's largest lake, anchors the southern part of the region. The Rondane and Dovrefjell national parks are within day-trip distance for wilder excursions.
Good to know before you book glamping stays in Innlandet.
With only three listings, these spots book fast — especially in summer and autumn. Book as early as possible. The E6 runs through Gudbrandsdalen making access straightforward from Oslo (2.5–3 hours). Elk sightings are highest in the early morning and around dusk — ask your host where they've been seen recently. Rondane National Park is worth a day trip for the high plateau views.

Experience glamping stays in Innlandet year-round
Summer is when Innlandet shines brightest — long warm days, swimming from the lake shore, and elk frequently visible at dawn and dusk. Autumn is arguably even better: the birch forests turn yellow and gold in late September, fishing peaks, and the region is entirely crowd-free. Winter offers cross-country skiing from doorstep and frozen lake walking. Spring brings waterfalls and the first wildflowers.
Spring
May to early June: 5–14°C, rivers full from snowmelt. Birch trees leaf out rapidly. Wildlife is highly active — one of Norway's best regions for elk sightings in late May. Most properties open from May. Peaceful and underbooked.
