Trip Overview
Winter is the best season to travel to Alta in Northern Norway. Spend an adventure out of the ordinary, snuggled warm under comfortable reindeer-hides and in sleeping bags at the Sorrisniva Igloo Hotel.
Also included in the tour is a reindeer sledding and Sami culture experience. Other optional winter activities such as dog sledding can be added.
