A perfect way to spend an evening in good company on a leisurely local northern lights hunt.
We will collect you from Alta and bring you out to our farm in the nearby countryside. From there, you will climb on board a wagon and bundle up with blankets against the crisp, cold air. The sleigh is pulled by a Norwegian Fjord Horse, a breed that is sturdy and patient and has been in use in Norway for centuries. Your ride will take you through the cozy neighborhood and also in the woods for a little while.
Near the end of the ride, you will arrive at a wilderness shelter and take a break. A late appetizer, dinner and desert will be served around the fire for an amazing 3 course meal, protected from the weather by the shelter’s half-wall. Along with conversation and local stories, if the conditions are right you might even have a chance to take a few pictures of the aurora in the sky! Then it’s back to the farm for your return trip to Alta.
Note! The northern lights and the weather that gives us clear skies are unpredictable natural phenomena, and we cannot guarantee that you will see the northern lights on this tour. if there is snow, we will use our beautiful sleighs instead.
