Northern Lights Adventure By Snowmobile

Alta, Norway

Æventyr

In this expedition, visitors will engage in the exhilarating experience of snowmobiling while witnessing the mesmerizing display of auroras adorning the heavens above.



The highlight of any trip above the Arctic Circle lies in experiencing the enchanting display of the Northern Lights. This phenomenon, shrouded in mystique since ancient times, has been the subject of countless myths and legends. Legends tell tales of brave warriors illuminating the heavens and mystical creatures such as fire foxes warning of impending dangers. In the pristine, dry, and stable climate of Alta, Norway, these spectacular displays occur under optimal conditions, making it an unforgettable experience.

This tour combines the thrill of snowmobiling with the breathtaking spectacle of the Northern Lights. Departing from the bustling city center, we head towards Gargia Valley, approximately 25 kilometers north of Alta. Upon arrival at Gargia Lodge, you will be greeted by your experienced guide who will provide detailed instructions and offer you essential gear including thermos suits, boots, and gloves designed for outdoor winter activities.

Your journey begins after dressing appropriately and receiving a comprehensive safety briefing. Once prepared, you'll embark on a thrilling ride aboard specially equipped snowmobiles. Throughout the tour, there is ample time to explore the surrounding area, marveling at the panoramic views from atop the mountains.

As darkness falls, we make our way back to Gargia Lodge, where you will rest and refuel before returning to the city center. By midnight, you'll have completed an exhilarating adventure that culminates in the comfort of your hotel room, ensuring a peaceful end to your journey.

No prior experience is necessary to operate a snowmobile; simply possessing a valid driver's license is sufficient. Each rider is accompanied by their partner throughout the tour, providing a safe and enjoyable experience together. Prior to departure, a thorough safety introduction and driving instruction will be conducted, emphasizing the importance of safety protocols and equipment use.

Upon arrival at Beskades, we pause briefly to appreciate the breathtaking views. Following a brief rest period, we continue our descent back towards Gargia Lodge, arriving just before dawn. Thereafter, you'll be dropped off at your starting point in the city center, completing your journey with ease and satisfaction.
