Arctic Wilderness Evening: Husky, Dinner, and the Aurora Borealis
Tour Overview
Gargia Lodge sits at the edge of Finnmarksvidda, half an hour from Alta city centre. Here you meet 40 huskies, eat dinner in the gamme and may see the northern lights. Tours run from November to April. The dog yard You say hello to the whole pack. These are proper Arctic sled dogs, loud and bouncy. Your guide explains how a team is built, how mushers communicate with their dogs, and what daily life is like when you live and work alongside them. There is plenty of time to pet the dogs and take photos. Dinner in the gamme Inside the traditional Sámi-style gamme you get a hot Arctic stew. Your guide tells you about the northern lights: the science behind the colours and the old myths connected to them. Under the night sky Afterwards you head back outside. The lodge is far from any light pollution, and if the northern lights appear, you have a front-row seat. No two evenings here are exactly the same. The tour suits families with children, groups of friends and corporate groups, and needs no physical preparation.
