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.

Unforgettable Experiences
Since the 1800s, Alta has been the global center for Northern Lights research. With the Aurora Borealis active in this region, there's no better place to try to spot this breathtaking spectacle.

One-of-a-kind Hotels

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.


Land of Striking Contrasts

Explore the winter wonderland of Finnmark, where the endless tundra, deep canyons and blankets of snow create a pristine landscape untouched by light pollution.
