Combine the excitement of driving a snowmobile through the Arctic evening whilst searching for the elusive Northern Lights. The guide will lead you through the wilderness of the Alta River valley up onto the inland plateau where the absence of light pollution maximises your chance of viewing the aurora. The scientific explanation of the northern lights is a solar wind that sends charged particles towards the Earth, and upon colliding with its atmosphere they produce energy given off as light.

There are many tales and myths about the Northern Lights that your guide will tell you about on your trip into the mountains. Norwegian tales say that the Aurora Borealis are believed to be the souls of old maids dancing in heaven and waving at people down below. Join us a snowmobile trip to Finnmarksvidda to wave and dance with the spectacular natural phenomenon, Lady Aurora.
