Experience Details*

Lying just outside of Alta, you’ll find the Holmen Husky Lodge, in an area with minimal light pollution – ideal for spotting the lights! While you wait for the magic to appear in the sky, you’ll have plenty of time to meet and greet the friendly pack of over 100 huskies. Sit back, relax and enjoy hot drinks around the fireplace in a traditional Sami lavvo, a large tent, while your hosts tell you all about the fascinating Aurora Borealis. They will also help you with your camera settings so you can get the best shots of the lights.

Essential information

The Northern Lights are a natural phenomenon, so whilst the chances of spotting them are high, sightings cannot be guaranteed. The optimum conditions to view them (away from the city) are in darkness, with minimal light pollution, although the 2 most important factors to consider are the level of solar activity and if there are clear skies or not. The temperature can drop significantly in the evenings so please ensure you wear plenty of layered warm clothing and sturdy, enclosed shoes as you will be walking on the snow and over uneven ground. The huskies are friendly and may jump up at you, so please dress accordingly. This tour is not suitable for passengers with medical conditions that are affected by the extreme cold. We recommend that you carry a torch to assist you whilst walking in the darkness, but ask that it is turned off when viewing the lights. We recommend that you bring your own shoe spikes/grips. Depending on the temperatures and amount of snow that falls, the grounds may be slippery.
