You’ll be picked up at Alta City Center at 15:15 pm and check in at the Igloo Hotel upon arrival to Sorrisniva. Before dinner at 18:00 pm you’ll get the chance to experience the Igloo Hotel on your own.  

The tour starts with a 3-course gourmet dinner at our unique restaurant on the shores of the Alta River, before you start the Northern Lights tour out in the winter night.  

With our minivan we’ll go out scouting for the Northern Lights in the direction where it’s most likely that we’ll spot it. Most of the time we won’t have to go far to see the lights.  

Our minibus only fits 7 people, so the group is rarely large. With high demand we reserve the right to execute the tour with a larger bus.  

Depending on the weather you’ll experience different parts of Alta on the tour. And our local guides can tell you stories of the local history and culture. Sometimes we drive out of Alta towards Kautokeino where the Sami Culture is strong. In addition to knowledge of local history our guides also have camera knowledge and of course knowledge about the Northern Lights.
