Embark on a captivating winter journey through the snow-covered forests of Alta, where the allure of outdoor life in Finnmark beckons. As you step onto the trail leading to the frozen wonder of Orvvosfossen waterfall, prepare to be enchanted by the unique natural marvels that encompass you.

Following the trail for approximately 2 km, you’ll find yourself standing before the majestic frozen Orvvosfossen waterfall. Its crystalline cascade is a mesmerizing spectacle, where water has turned to ice, harmonizing with the tranquil winter surroundings. So, fasten your snowshoes, inhale the crisp winter air, and let the captivating wilderness of Alta guide your path as you delve into this frozen wonder.

The aim of this exciting three-hour snowshoe trek is to have a close-up experience in the silent Arctic nature. We will be joined by one of our Alaskan Huskies – Javri or Phelps – to help pull or carry the gear.

This snowshoeing trek will take us through the Alta Valley along the banks of the Alta River. We will see how the landscape was formed by the ice that covered the entire region 10,000 years ago. Your guide will tell you about the Alta area and the Alta River in more detail. Keep an eye open for fox and rabbit tracks; if we are especially lucky, we might even see the animals that made them! Along the way, we will take a break and make an open fire to brew tea, coffee or hot chocolate and some snacks.

The tour includes transport from and back to Alta, thermal suits and overshoes if needed, hot drinks and snacks.

Riding an e-fatbike in the dark while wearing a head torch is a unique experience. The light creates strong contrasts, and the shadows are so clear that the cycling seems simple – providing we stay on the prepared trail! With our torches switched on, we are surrounded by darkness and only notice that the terrain changes when we emerge from the forest. The moon then appears from behind a cloud and the entire landscape lights up. It’s pure magic! About the same time, the mystical Northern Lights dance across the sky from east to west in shades of green, red and blue. This is your reward!

We will determine the length and level of the trip based on the participants’ fitness level and cycling experience. The normal biking time is 60-90 min. Participants need to be able to ride a bike and must be in normal physical form. Riding a fatbike is surprisingly easy. However, it does not power itself and you need to provide the necessary pressure on the pedals and forward thrust.

We stop to light a fire at one of the Alta Valley’s many rustic shelters, or at GLØD HQ when we return, and enjoy snacks/a light meal and tea/coffee brewed on the fire.
