Tour Overview

This is a private Northern Lights tour around Alta, shaped around your pace and interests. You get your own vehicle and guide, with no strangers and no fixed stops. Your guide follows solar activity and cloud cover in real time and searches for the clearest sky. Alta's fjords, mountains and plateau give plenty of room to manoeuvre. Perhaps the aurora will dance over a silent fjord, reflect in a frozen lake or hang above the mountain plateau. How the evening works You are picked up privately from your accommodation in Alta. Your guide explains the science and folklore of the Northern Lights and gives an update on the evening's weather. The route is flexible, and along the way your guide tells you about the local community, Sámi culture and Arctic life. Length and destination are adjusted to the weather forecasts and your wishes. When the aurora starts, your guide finds a sheltered spot and helps you photograph it. You get local snacks and warm drinks at a scenic spot chosen for your group.
