Alta – Sorrisniva Igloo Hotel
Alta has a long history of slate and during the day we visit a slate quarry to learn more about the handcraft. Our day ends with a dinner composed of local ingredients and a good night’s sleep at the Sorrisniva Igloo Hotel – made of snow and ice.
It is an unforgettable and surreal experience to fall asleep in a warm sleeping bag surrounded by ice.

Alta – The Ice Hotel & the Cathedral
The little coastal town of Alta, framed by high mountains and beautiful fjords is located an overnight journey with ship from Tromsø. The town is also known as the city of the Northern Lights. Here you have great chances of seeing the Northern Lights, but it was also in Alta that Kristian Birkeland in 1899 built the world’s first Northern Lights observatory.
Of course, we explore the spectacular Northern Lights Cathedral!
Kautokeino – Wilderness & Sami culture
This day, we head out in the wilderness of Finnmarken. After a couple of hours bus ride from Alta we reach a Sami camp, located in the heart of Sápmi - the region traditionally inhabited by the Sami people.
Here we learn more about the Sami culture and enjoy a typical Sami lunch in a Lavvu.
We then check in at the beautifully located Thon Hotel Kautokeino, where we spend the night, enjoy a delicious dinner and keep a look out for the Northern Lights.
