The Viking Essence in Our DNA

Panorama Glass Lodge® is not just a place to stay; it’s a journey back to the Viking  era. Our brand story is deeply rooted in the Viking spirit – a testament to their love for exploration, adventure, and a profound connection with the nature. This ethos guides our philosophy, from the design of our lodges to the experiences we offer, ensuring that every guest feels the thrill and wonder that drove the Vikings across seas and continents.

The shape of the Lodges is inspired by Scandinavian and Viking houses and combines wooden elements, steel
and glass which makes the Lodges so unique. The interior is custom made, accessories are hand-
picked and a high value is placed on the high-quality products. We respect nature and use only
materials that do no harm to our beautiful surroundings.

Here, each lodge is a canvas where nature paints its masterpieces, from sunrise to the starry night.

No Glittering Chandeliers. But the Milky Way's Glow.

Swap artificial lights for a natural light show, as the stars and galaxies illuminate your stay.

What we offer is more than an accommodation, our goal is that all our guests have an outstanding,
comfortable, and memorable once in a lifetime experience with enough privacy in a spectacular and scenery. Even though the cabins are out in the nature, the guests can still enjoy luxury, high quality standards and extraordinary design.

At Panorama Glass Lodge®, we transcend the conventional hotel experience. Our lodges are not just places to stay; they are gateways to immersive natural encounters. Here, luxury meets wilderness, and comfort coalesces with the untamed beauty of the outdoors.

There are so many other stunning locations out there and we want to make them accessible for
guests so they can enjoy the beauty of the nature in combination with all the amenities that comes
along with the Panorama Glass Lodge®

Expanding horizons with the Panorama Glass Lodge®. Panorama Glass Lodge® also presents a unique opportunity for existing hotels to diversify and enhance their offerings. By integrating our innovative lodge concept, hotels can tap into new markets, attract a wider range of guests, and provide an unparalleled experience that complements their existing services.

No room service. But wild nature.
