Alta sits directly beneath the auroral oval, one of the most active Northern Lights belts on earth. On this evening ATV tour you leave the city glow behind and head into the hills and onto the plateau above Alta, where the sky opens up. Your guide follows live aurora forecasts and adjusts the route to find the clearest conditions. On an ATV you can follow the lights wherever they appear. When the sky is active, we stop and switch off the engines. Your guide explains both the science and the Sámi mythology around the aurora. Warm drinks and snacks are served at a sheltered stop along the way. Even when the aurora stays away, the ride is worth it: a moonlit plateau, crisp air and Arctic silence.

We spent some days there in January to watch aurora borealis (aka northern lights). The lodge is really a good place, far out in the country side, not much light pollution. The team is so helpful and they really take care to make it a good stay, very personal and considering. Like visiting friends y...
(Translated by Google) It's perfect for a hotel tucked away in the countryside. The meals are delicious and the rooms are comfortable. And a great spot to watch the Northern Lights.

Vahva suositus paikalle ihan jo pelkästään henkilökunnan ystävällisyyden vuoksi.
Идеально! Место просто великолепное. Дом под горой. Тишина. Кухня прекрасна. Каждый день новое меню, но необольщайтесь гурманы, готовится одно блюдо и подаётся всем. Цена для Норвегии не кусается. Персонал приветливый. По возможности помогут. Самое главное в номере нет телевизора!
Great place, we come back again
