Venture beyond the city lights to Holmen Husky Lodge, an authentic Arctic retreat where you'll search for one of nature's most spectacular displays, the Aurora Borealis. Located just outside Alta, the lodge offers excellent conditions for viewing the Northern Lights.
During your visit you’ll have the opportunity to meet the lodge's friendly pack of Alaskan huskies and learn about life with these remarkable dogs. Then gather in a traditional Sami lavvo, where you'll warm up around a crackling fire and enjoy hot drinks while your host shares fascinating insights into the science, myths, and history of the Northern Lights. Your host will also provide helpful tips on camera settings to capture the perfect aurora photo.
As darkness settles over the Arctic landscape, step outside and watch the sky for the mesmerizing colors of the Northern Lights dancing overhead.
