Arctic Wilderness Evening: Husky, Dinner & Aurora Borealis｜Norway

Begin with a pickup from Alta city center and head to Gargia Lodge, a historic mountain lodge perched at the edge of Finnmarksvidda. Meet the huskies, all 40 of them, and learn about the world of dog sledding from your guide. Discover how teams are built, how mushers read their dogs, and what life looks like when you live and work alongside these animals.

Spend time getting up close to the dogs, saying hello, and grabbing a few photos. Then, gather inside the gamme, a traditional Sámi-style hut, for a hearty Arctic stew, the kind of food that's kept travelers going across Finnmark for centuries.

As you eat, hear stories about the northern lights and how these special lights have impacted us and the culture over thousands of years.

After dinner, head back outside. The lodge sits far from any light pollution, and if the Northern Lights decide to appear, you'll have a front-row seat — green and purple ribbons shifting quietly across the Arctic sky.
