Key Information
Day 1
Welcome to the Arctic Circle
Cycling
Northern Lights Watching
Touch down, meet your host at the airport and head to the remote coastal town of Alta - found on the inner reaches of the Altafjord in Norway's most northern county. Settle into your unique Aurora Canvas Dome before meeting for a welcome briefing at 15:00. In the late afternoon, strap on a headtorch and hop on a fat bike for an otherworldly bike ride amidst the Arctic wilderness. Pedal through the snow-blanketed forest at night on a network of trails, with the collective glow of head torches lighting the way. Switch your light off to (hopefully!) watch the Northern Lights dancing above as you listen to stories about the local area. In the evening you can warm yourself up with a traditional Nordic sauna before a three-course meal of local delicacies. Settle in for the night beneath the stars in the Aurora Canvas Domes.
Day 2
Snowmobile to the Finnmark Plateau and aurora hunting
Snowmobiling
Northern Lights Watching
Wake up in your cosy Aurora Dome and get ready for your next Arctic adventure. Hop on board a snowmobile for a journey through one of Europe's last wildernesses, gliding your way through beautiful winter Arctic scenery from Sorrisniva, through the Alta Valley, all the way to the Finnmark Plateau. On the way back you'll stop at the wilderness lodge restaurant adjacent to the Igloo Hotel and tuck into lunch. Perhaps pay a visit to the ice hotel bar or watch the ice sculptors at work (optional, subject to availability). Later on, warm up with a serving of hearty soup before heading out to hunt for the aurora.
Day 3
Snowshoeing, ice fishing, and dog sledding
Snowshoeing
Ice Fishing
Dog Sledding
After breakfast clip on some snowshoes for a hike, heading to a wilderness camp through peaceful pine forests surrounded by high mountains. You'll reach the idyllic camp beside a small lake and warm up around an open fire inside a Lavvu - a Sami herdsmen’s tent. Have a go at catching some Arctic Char for lunch by fishing through an ice hole on the lake. Head back to the Aurora Domes for some downtime before venturing out dog sledding in the afternoon. Take in the stillness of the Arctic on a journey through the forest and open landscapes beside the Alta River, with beautiful Alaskan Huskies and a local musher for company. Back at base, savour another tasty three-course dinner.
Day 4
Farewell to the Arctic
Say goodbye to your cosy Aurora Dome and soak up the last of your time at the base in Alta with a short stroll or sauna, before joining the group transfer to Alta airport.

Starts
Alta Airport (or city centre)
14:30 Alta airport (or 14:45 Alta city centre) on Day 1
Ends

12:30 Alta airport on Day 4
Transfers
One fixed-time group transfer is included on Day 1 for the 15-minute drive to your host's base. The transfer will collect anyone waiting at Alta Airport at 14:30 and then go to Alta city centre to collect anyone waiting there at 14:45 on Day 1. There will be a welcome briefing at 15:00 at the base.
On the final day of your trip, your host will drop you off at Alta airport at approximately 12:30, in time for flights departing any time after 14:00. If you choose to book a flight departing before 14:00 you will need to take a taxi instead.
It is only a 15-minute drive from the airport to the base so if your flight arrival/departure time doesn't coincide with the group transfer time, you can simply take a taxi: this will cost approximately 400NOK (£35/€40/$50).
Return flights from Alta tend to depart in the early afternoon, and you only need to be at the airport 90 minutes before your flight since it is a small airport, so there is some time in the morning to soak up the last of the area at the base.
Travel options
There are no direct flights to Alta from the UK but connections are available from both Oslo and Tromsø. From Oslo, the flight time is just over 2 hours, while the flight time from Tromsø is 40 minutes.

What is the food like?
Breakfast consists of freshly baked rolls with locally sourced spreads and toppings, juice and fresh coffee. On your first and third evenings, you'll be treated to a three-course meal of local foods, including specialities such as fresh cod and halibut, salmon, moose, reindeer and king crab. Dinner on Day 2 is a simple affair of soup and bread. Lunch on Day 2 is a sumptuous feast at the Igloo Hotel in Sorrisnova, where the chefs create unique dishes using ingredients from Arctic Norway - including reindeer and moose from the tundra, seafood from the Alta River and the Norwegian sea, vegetables from local farms and berries picked in the nearby wilderness. Lunch on Day 3 will be a selection of local delicacies grilled by your host, hopefully including some Arctic Char which you have caught from the lake.
Vegans and vegetarians can be catered for on this trip, however, please request this at the time of booking.
What is the accommodation like?
Alta
A real highlight of this trip is staying in the Aurora Canvas Domes. These are purpose-built aluminium and canvas domes, with under-floor heating and a wood-burning stove, designed to get you as close to nature as possible. You can even open the roof – perfect for aurora watching. All the electricity here is 100% renewable and drawn from hydro-electrical power, produced by the nearby Alta River. You'll stay in twin-share domes. Couples will therefore automatically have their own dome.
Upgrades
Due to the limited number of Aurora Domes, it is not possible to request a private room upgrade for this trip. Your host can arrange a single room at a nearby hotel if you would like to join the trip and have your own room - however, you'll be missing out on the Aurora Domes as one of the trip highlights in this instance.
Winter in Alta and on the Finmark Plateau can be described in one word: cold! This is the coldest time of year in this part of Norway, with average temperatures fluctuating between -11.4°C (11.5°F) and -6.7°C (20°F). There are only around 2 hours of full daylight at this latitude in January, with an extended twilight either side of the short sunrise and sunset. This doubles to around 3.5-4 hours of full daylight in February and increases again in March. Of course, the short days make for the best chances to see the Northern Lights, which can be seen until early April.
Amazing trip
This was an incredible trip. The staff is amazing, the food is delicious, and I had so much fun! Thank you so much to everyone who made this happen
Amazing snowy adventure
Such a wonderful place to stay - beautiful and peaceful. All the activities were great - amazing sunrise-sunset views from snowmobiles, snow-showing through snow-covered forest, and seeing the aurora when we went biking. Delicious food, cosy domes and great guides.
Great trip
Fantastic experience in Alta
Loads of firsts for us - all great fun. Glod were superb hosts - even organising the Northern Lights every night! Husky sledding under northern lights will stay with us for a long time. Staff were so helpful and food excellent. Cold mind!
An amazing chilly weekend
Top draw all experiences. Exceeded expectations. Accommodation was very warm and comfortable, food very tasty. The guides were all very attentive and knowledgable. We were very lucky to see an amazing show of the northern lights all weekend(thanks Nico) even from our dome. Would highly recommend
Ultimate Satisfaction
The Ultimate Arctic Circle Adventure in Noway did not disappoint. From the outset (when a participant WhatsApp group chat was created) to our final fairwells at the airport, we were fully satisfied. After being collected from the airport, my wife and I enjoyed settling in to this multi-adventure trip with the initial Fat-MTB ride through the snowy forest near our base location before our first delicious meal, sauna, and cosy night at the dome. We were fortunate to see fantastic Northern Lights displays every night. Yes, they were visible from the dome whilst we lay in our bed! Snow-shoeing, fishing, snow-mobiling, northern-lights hunting were all great adventures. However, the dog-sled adventure was my personal highlight. The guides were so engaging, allowing us to collect and harness our dogs (you can get as much help as you want for this) and were even allowed to 'drive' the sled (after some tuition). This was our first MBA-Adventure and we are already thinking about the next. Thank you 🙂
Fantastic Activities
The itinerary was packed with fantastic activities, like dog sledding, fat bike riding, snow shoeing. . . . and of course those Northern Lights!
Unforgettable! From the cozy pods,
Unforgettable! From the cozy pods, the amazing food, the stunning northern lights, the incredible fat biking and dog sledding right down to the endless layers and snowsuits to survive the freezing temps, I cannot recommend this trip more!
Awareness for solo travellers
Firstly, the GLØD team were excellent. The issue is that Much Better Adventurers do not clearly disclose anywhere that you will be SHARING a room with a stranger. Even after paying for the trip, there was only one general message referring to twin rooms. You will also find yourself spooning your new acquaintance on the back of a snowmobile (these are shared too) and you’ll be sharing a dog sled. This surprised both of us on the day, so beware if you were expecting some privacy and being able to engage in more than 50% of some of the experiences yourself when this is not a budget trip by any means. While this cheapened the experience, the rest of it was fantastic and well organised by the local team and their excellent guides.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re really pleased to hear you had a fantastic experience with the local host team and guides.
We’re sorry that some aspects of the trip came as a surprise. This is a small-group adventure by design, with many experiences shared as part of the group dynamic. For clarity, the accommodation section of the trip page has always stated that solo travellers are booked into twin-share rooms, and we also outline within the itinerary when experiences such as saunas are included. Following feedback like yours, we’ve since updated the itinerary to be even clearer that snowmobiles and dog sleds are shared experiences to better set expectations for future customers.
We really appreciate you highlighting this, as it helps us continue improving how clearly we communicate trip details upfront. Thanks again for your thoughtful review, and we’re glad the overall adventure was a memorable one.
- Much Better Operations Team
Overall the experience was excellent.
Overall the experience was excellent. The tour guides were really knowledgeable. The individual experiences were really fun and unique. The scenery is stunning. It really is a memorable trip. However we felt the experience lacked a point person (ie a rep from better adventures) sometimes it felt like there was no one around. We should have been given clear options of additional activities available in downtime and also options for individuals to do activities solo. We also felt like there needed to be proper showers available for everyone there (there wasn't enough private showers, only 1) and the sauna should have been free to use whenever you wanted, rather than pay. The food was excellent, very very god quality and almost fine dining. However as the days were long and cold we feel like there should have been free snacks available.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share such thoughtful feedback — we’re really pleased to hear you found the trip memorable, with knowledgeable guides, stunning scenery and excellent food.
We appreciate you highlighting the areas where the experience could have been clearer and more supportive. We’ve now updated the trip page to clearly explain that rooms have en-suite toilets with shower facilities available in the main building, and your comments around having a clearer point person, more guidance on downtime activities, sauna access and snacks have been taken onboard by our local host team.
Thanks again for travelling with us and for helping us improve future adventures.

Brilliant
This was my first MBA trip, after reading the reviews on here I was going in with high expectations and was not disappointed. The balance between activities and downtime was spot on and even for a fussy eater the food was fantastic. Would highly recommend this trip.
Artic adventure in Norway
Just returned from the trip of a lifetime which was the 3 day arctic adventure to Alta, Norway. The GLOD team were amazing and all activities and tours were fabulous, the trip far exceeded my expectations and was so well run from start to finish. Already planning my next trip with MBA as a result
Incredible!
This was the most amazing trip. We were really looked after at GLØD. The domes were exquisite, the guides experts, and all activities thoughtfully planned so it was jam packed without being rushed. I can honestly say it was everything and more than I hoped it would be. So many incredible memories made. . . . . including laying in bed and watching the Northern Lights dancing in the sky. And the food was fantastic too!
went hunting for northern lights and found so much more
Booked this trip as a way to see the northern lights. It turned into an epic bucket list adventure. Alta is beautiful. All the activities were great and very doable (I have never done any of them before hand), and all of our guides were great. Staying in the aurora domes was an amazing experience. All the meals included were delicious.
Incredible trip of a lifetime
Took my partner for his 50th birthday. Had the time of our lives. The staff at Glod were incredible hosts. All the activities were fun, especially the dog sledding. Saw the northern lights twice, bucket list item ticked.
Fantastic adventure worth every penny
The trip was a fantastic adventure with many first experiences for us. From the absolutely stunning northern lights (we were very lucky), to the dog sleeding, the fat bikes and the snow walk. One of our best trips ever, amazingly hosted.
Amazing long weekend
It was all perfectly organized, we were so lucky with the weather and I highly recommend this great Artic adventure, the team at GLØD is amazing, I only want to come back for more now
Spectacular setting
I'd thoroughly recommend this trip for anyone. The team at Glød were fantastic and looked after us very well. The activities were brilliant and all of the guides were helpful and happy to answer any questions. The domes were great to stay in, it was very atmospheric watching the snow falling while cosy inside.
Snow filled adventure
So much fun - loved the variety of activities, well organised and a brilliant insight into how the Norwegians enjoy living day-to-day. The dome tents were next level clamping - super comfy and warm.
Do you want to built a snowman ⛄️ 🎶?!
Incredible experience!
Fun and exhilarating activities - pushing you out of your comfort zone and at the same time surrounded by skilled guides that make you feel safe and brave!
Great group - great balance between action and chillaxing and the aurora domes are simply magical to sleep in! My favourite of the morning: Wakey wakey coffee brought to you while still in bed ! A little bit of paradise on earth 🥰
Would do it again in a heart beat!
Amazing trip! Lots of fun
Amazing trip! Lots of fun and a lovely group. Glød, the Norweigan local organiser was exceptional. The igloo tents were very comfortable and cosy. Everything we expected.
Once in a lifetime trip
Absolutely wonderful trip. The Glød team who host this are so passionate and knowledgeable about what they do it really makes the experience next level. The activities are judged based on the group can they can be adjusted based on ability which was fantastic for me as I have a bad back. I would and will recommend to anyone!
Amazing Arctic Adventure
Wow! What a trip that was! The activities were superbly organised, the accommodation was fabulous, the guides were brilliant and we were lucky to be there with a great group of other guests (we didn't know them before the trip).
Top of the World!
A marvellous introduction to the Arctic! Excellent guides, exciting experiences, great accommodation and grub - what's not to like? Highly enjoyable!
A great experience!
The experience at GLOD was very well organised and executed - a great adventure!

Unforgettable holiday
My already high expectations were surpassed on this trip - we had an amazing few days!

We partner with the World Land Trust to ensure this trip achieves Net-Zero emissions. We also support their Buy an Acre programme, helping local communities to buy and protect natural habitats in perpetuity.
What's the number?
It works out on average at 64kg of CO2 emissions per person, including all local transport, accommodation, food, activities, guides, staff and office operations.
The only thing it doesn’t include right now is flights and travel to the destination. We do make an overall estimate across all our customers separately, but as we don’t book flights, have customers from all corners of the world, and no way of reliably knowing their travel plans, we simply can’t include an individual number in the figure on display here. We’ve got a goal to fix that, so that when you book, there is a way to measure and mitigate the carbon emitted by your flight too.
But what does the number mean?
Yep, hard to picture eh? To give you an idea:
- Driving 1000 miles/1609km would be approximately 281kg of CO2 in an average car (or 140.5kg per person, if there were two of you in it).
- A return economy class flight between London and New York would be approximately 1619kg (1.66 tonnes) per person.
- 10 trees in a temperate forest are estimated to remove approximately 250kg of CO2 from the air in a period of 5-10 years.
What are we doing about it?
Our trips are relatively low-carbon by design, and we're working with all our hosts to develop long term carbon reduction plans. We partner with the World Land Trust to ensure this trip achieves Net-Zero emissions. We also support their Buy an Acre programme, helping local communities to buy and protect natural habitats in perpetuity, ensuring the protection of the reserve and its wildlife.
Want to know more?
Amazingly, no international travel company has ever publicly published their carbon measurements before, as far as we know. We believe that must change, quickly. So we’re openly sharing the method we used in the hope that other companies will be able to more easily follow suit and build on what we've done so far. You'll find it all here.
Fat bikes have extra fat, knobbly tyres that are designed for riding on soft surfaces like sand and snow, and they have little or no suspension. The super-fat tyres distribute the rider’s mass across a larger area, so you don’t sink in and do gain more traction than you would with a standard tyre size. You can ride with stability, even over firm snow and ice but in deeper/heavier snow more physical effort will be needed. Fat biking around Alta in the winter is one of the most commonly used methods for locals to travel short distances and is becoming increasingly popular as a way to see the northern lights, both by tourists and locals alike. You won't be riding very far, so anyone who can ride a bike at a basic level will enjoy fat biking to see the aurora.
Snowshoeing is a type of hiking that uses a special type of footwear - a snowshoe - to spread your weight over a larger area, allowing you to move easily across powdery snow-covered terrain. While today's snowshoes look modern, snowshoeing has actually played a vital role in Arctic life for centuries, with traders and trappers using wooden versions to move freely through the wilderness.
Snowshoeing is incredibly easy, comfortable and safe. You simply clip your snowshoe to the outside of your hiking boot and off you go. You'll be in the hands of local, experienced, and trained guides who know the area intimately and will guide you safely throughout the hike.
Absolutely. Our host uses a local family outfit called Tristi & Trina who have a lot of experience looking after the dogs and running a small scale sledding business in the local area. The dog's welfare has been and always will be their top priority. The breed of dog they work with is a polar type of dog called the Alaskan Husky. They are born outside, and are happy to live outside all their life - but of course, they are provided with insulated huts full of warm straw and hay to sleep and retreat into.
As this breed was bred to run, they need to have a lot of activity to stay happy and healthy. This is why your host ensures that every dog has enough possibility to move every day, depending on the dog's individual age and state of health. Young dogs, veterans or disabled dogs have reduced running. They will do a run on 5-20km running 4 to 5 days a week, with 2-3 days of rest. Normal dogs can run up to 40-50 km per day, depending on the day and conditions.
To make sure that every dog needs the care and attention they need, our hosts have a daily staff of dedicated employees tending to them. Every morning and afternoon they are trained in and provide the medical care of the dogs. They also work closely with local veterinaries in Alta, who take over where their medical expertise comes to an end.
Sure - you can leave your luggage at your Aurora Dome accommodation for the full duration of the trip.
This trip includes locations or elevations where conditions can be extremely cold. Daytime temperatures may drop below freezing (0°C/32°F), and nights are often significantly colder. These conditions can affect physical performance and increase the risk of exposure-related issues, such as frostbite or hypothermia.
Your guide is trained to manage these risks, adapting activity intensity and monitoring group wellbeing. However, it's important to take personal responsibility – bringing the right cold-weather gear (see Kit List), staying hydrated and well-nourished, and recognising early signs of cold stress.
We recommend assessing your personal comfort and resilience in cold environments, and consulting a medical professional if you have health conditions that may be affected. Arriving early can also help you acclimatise to the colder conditions, especially if you're coming from a much warmer climate.
Sure can! Over 70% of our travellers travel solo, it’s a great way to meet like-minded people.
Our team of Adventure Hunters co-create exclusive adventures which are run by highly vetted, specialist hosts. The trip is run by our trusted host partner in the destination. We only work with independent, local, in-destination experts who know the very best places to explore and how to stay safe. Read more information about the local teams we partner with. You’ll be introduced to the host straight after making a booking via the Much Better Adventures platform.
Much Better Adventures refer to the UK Government’s official travel advice when designing trips and monitoring trip operations. We recommend that all customers are familiar with the practical information provided on the Government’s FCDO website, where current travel advice can be found by searching for the applicable destination(s).
For customers joining this trip from other international destinations – please also read the official travel advice applicable to your country of residence/origin, as this may differ.
We recommend checking out the country-specific information and also talking to a travel nurse.
We automatically convert prices from the local currency that a host receives to your chosen currency. We update our exchange rates on a daily basis so this does mean that prices displayed on the site are subject to currency fluctuations, which is why you may see them change over time.
If you wish to change the currency you pay in, head to the bottom of the page.
All of our group adventures are specially designed for adults to enjoy as we want these adventures to bring together outdoorsy people who are truly like-minded. You must be over 18 to join one of our trips.
You're always in good company on one of our adventures.
Our trips are typically made up of a mixture of solo travellers and small groups of 2 or 3 friends, with most in their 30s-50s.
Our sociable adventures are solo-friendly by design and naturally attract outdoorsy people with a shared mindset; a love for adventure, a desire to push themselves and meet awesome, like-minded people along the way.
It’s this camaraderie that has so often turned a great adventure into a life-changing one.
Don't just take our word for it:
- 95% of people rate the group dynamics on our trips 5/5
- 90% of people recommend joining a trip to make new friends
