The highlight of any trip above the arctic circle: experiencing the magical northern lights dance across the sky. The mystery of light has given us many myths and legends over the years. Everything from heroes who lit up the sky to mysterious fire foxes and warnings of danger. The dry and stable climate in Alta provides the best conditions for seeing the Northern Lights.

On this trip we combine the excitement of snowmobiling with experiencing the northern lights dancing across the sky. We take you along the old postal road up to the very edge of Finnmarksvidda to a mountain range called Beskardes.

Far away from the lights of the city this trip provides the ideal conditions to see the northern lights in a beautiful winter landscape. If we are lucky we will get to see the magnificent northern lights dancing across the sky on our trip, or be treated with a beautiful arctic night sky.

Not a cheap experience but well worth it. Also far cheaper than the one organised by our tour operator. We were picked up from the cruise terminal by our lovely guide John and taken out into the middle of nowhere. Had it not been so cloudy we’d have had perfect conditions for the northern lights. We were kitted out in the correct gear; mittens, balaclava, socks, helmet, boots and suit before having a safety briefing about the snowmobiles. We were taken out along a pre determined path through the forest with a couple of stops to hear more about the northern lights. Roger was so knowledgeable and along with John they looked after all of us brilliantly (sorting out the snowmobile when I managed to get it stuck in deep snow!). You then get the chance to swap drivers (as long as you both have a valid driving licence). After whizzing through the forest you go back to the lodge for a hot drink and a snack before being taken back to your pick up point. Overall this was a superb trip - just wish I’d got the hang of it sooner!!

This was an amazing experience. Rodger, our guide was very knowledgeable and after watching the sky for a few hours, he guided us to Aurora Bliss.

What an amazing experience from start to finish. This excursion was the highlight of our 15 day cruise and was booked independently from the Ship’s excursions. We were picked up from the Cruise Terminal, on time, driven to the lodge where we were fully kitted out in Arctic clothing. There was a full induction on how to drive the Snowmobile. At the Top we were treated with a hot local drink, which was amazing as well as samples of the local chocolate. Along the way various points of interest were pointed out. We even experienced heavy snow showers on route. The night ended with a tour of the lodge and. on our way back to the cruise terminal Jakub stopped the Van at a site where we were able to view the Northern Lights. Highly recommend 👍 Would love to stay at the Lodge independently at some point 😊
No lights but still OK.

The equipment was first class the pre-brief was fantastic, Rogers knowledge of the aurora was first class. The trip was fine but just seemed to much like a trail route well used and not really what I expected.
Amazing Breathtaking experience

Absolutely fantastic! Rodger was so helpful and full of information about the Northern lights. We stopped part way to the lodge when he saw a good clear spot and we actually got a fantastic show of lights! Rodger provided us with hot drinks and helped us with taking good photos. We then continued our journey to the lodge and got onto the snowmobiles for a breathtaking journey to the top of the mountain with another show of the Northern lights on our way back down! He then got us back to our ship in the nick of time to sail off to our next destination. I would 100% recommend doing this!
