Carbon Neutral Trip
Norway in winter is basically a snow globe—and on this trip, you get to play inside. Mush your own team of huskies, snowmobile across the silent Finnmark plateau, then warm up fireside at a wilderness lodge that’s heavy on hygge, light on cell signal. With luck, the northern lights will crash the party—no filter, just pure Arctic magic.


You'll have the option to spend a night in Sorrisniva's iconic igloo hotel and River Suite, crafted from locally sourced ice and snow.

Explore the winter wonderland of Finnmark, where the endless tundra, deep canyons and blankets of snow create a pristine landscape untouched by light pollution.
Preview the itinerary
No two trips are ever the same, but this will give you a taste of what your journey will be like.
Day 1
Upon arrival in Alta, Norway's High Arctic, a driver will take you to Sorrisniva Wilderness Lodge. Explore the impressive ice sculptures at the lodge's Igloo Hotel on a tour with the founder, and enjoy a welcome cocktail served in an ice glass. Later, learn about the magical phenomenon of the Auroa Borealis before we sit down for a wonderful 3-course welcome dinner.
Day 2
We’ll head to the Northern Lights Cathedral and learn about the exhibit inside with a local scientist. Later, we’ll meet our Sami guides, the indigenous community of Finnmark, who will share insight into their vibrant culture. Enjoy another fabulous dinner before we spend a night in Sorrisniva's Igloo Hotel, built annually from ice and snow by local artisans.
Day 3
After an early sauna session, we'll meet our snowmobiles and traverse through a snowy landscape adorned with forests and frozen lakes. Pause for lunch at a mountain lodge, then we’re off to the hotel for a relaxing afternoon. This evening, an expert guide will lead us to the best spot for a chance to spot the northern lights.
Activity:
Snowmobile-safari to Finnmark Plateau
Day 4
After a leisurely start to our day, we’ll try our hand at ice-sculping in a session led by an expert ice artisan.

Glide through the Nordic Forest alongside the Alta River and end the day with a rustic dinner around the campfire.

Good to know

Weather
Temperatures can reach as low as –30 degrees Celsius (-22 Fahrenheit). We’ll provide thermal suits and all the equipment you’ll need to stay warm, but please bring layers.

Northern Lights
While Alta offers an optimal setting for viewing the Northern Lights, clear skies are essential for a successful sighting, and viewing is never guaranteed.

Pre and Post trip
This trip picks up at Alta Airport, so there is no need to add additional nights in Alta. If you have extra time, consider extending your trip with a visit to Oslo.
