Alta airport transfers, northern lights evenings, the Sorrisniva Igloo Hotel and long days out to Hammerfest and the North Cape.
Alta is the largest town in Finnmark, at the head of the Altafjord. The airport is only a few minutes from the centre, which makes Alta a practical base for northern lights trips, dog sledding and visits to the Sorrisniva Igloo Hotel up the Alta river. The rock carvings at the Alta Museum and the Northern Lights Cathedral are both close to town.
For longer days out, the E6 leads towards Hammerfest and the North Cape, and road 93 runs south to Kautokeino on the Finnmark plateau. We arrange vans, minibuses and coaches with licensed local operators and drivers used to Arctic winter, with one contact and one price per vehicle.

Yes. In winter the last stretch from Skarsvåg to the North Cape plateau runs as a convoy at fixed times, and storms can cancel it. We plan the day around the convoy times.
Yes. Alta lies inland at the head of a fjord and often has clearer skies than the outer coast. The driver takes the group away from the town lights and waits while you watch.
Yes. The dog-sled race starts in Alta in March and the town is very busy that week, so book early.
Some stretches of the E6, such as Sennalandet towards Skaidi and Kvænangsfjellet towards Tromsø, can close or run in convoy during storms. We follow the road reports and keep spare time.
Yes. It is a long day of about 400 km on the E8 and E6, so we check driver hours and may plan a longer break or a second driver.
