Activity description

Experience Alta's 'Green Flames' on this excursion to watch the aurora borealis. Alta's dry and stable climate makes it the ideal spot to chase the magical northern lights, and discover the beautiful arctic nature and wilderness at the same time!

Your adventure begins with a small lecture about the natural phenomenon of the aurora borealis, where your guide will share insights into this mesmerizing spectacle, unveiling all the secrets. From then onwards, you will gear up with thermosuits, boots, and gloves and head off to experience the Northern Lights dancing in the night sky!

The exact itinerary will be shared with on the day, as the guides examine the weather conditions to carefully select the spots, to optimize your chances of witnessing the enchanting northern lights. With some luck, the skies will then perform their colourful dance of pink, green and blue right above you as you glide along the snow.

Immerse yourself in the dancing sky, and marvel at this mesmerizing natural phenomenon, complemented with a warm coffee or tea along with a local snack before you head back to the base in Alta.
