Northern Lights by Snowmobile in Alta: Arctic Night HuntRide a snowmobile from Alta up the old postal road toward Finnmarksvidda and the Beskardes mountain range, chasing the northern lights across the winter sky. The 4-hour trip includes pickup and drop-off in Alta, thermal suits, helmets, and a guide who leads a small convoy at a pace matched to your comfort. You drive half the trip and ride as passenger for the other half, sharing a snowmobile with one other person. No snowmobiling experience is required—only a valid B-class driver's license.Is it for me?Small groups work best here—you'll ride in pairs on the snowmobiles, so the convoy stays intimate and the guide can keep the pace steady for everyone. This suits anyone with a moderate fitness level and a valid driver's license who wants to drive part of the trip themselves; if you'd rather ride as a passenger the whole way, that works too, and children from age 8 can join.
ATV Riding and Northern Lights in KvibyAn evening ATV tour from Kviby along the Norwegian Arctic coastline, combining riding through remote landscape with Northern Lights sightseeing. You operate the ATV yourself in small groups of up to fourteen riders (two per machine), guided by an English speaker who knows the region and its conditions for aurora visibility. Pickup from your hotel, harbor or tourist information center is included, as are the ATV rental, fuel, helmet and warm protective gear. The tour runs five hours. Northern Lights are not guaranteed, but the guide actively searches for them and shares stories of the landscape and local culture throughout the ride.Is it for me?You operate the ATV yourself in a small shared group, which means you control the ride's pace and feel the terrain directly—not the experience for someone wanting to sit back and be driven, but ideal if you want to be actively moving through the landscape while searching for the lights. The fixed five-hour window and guided route remove the logistics of finding the best aurora-viewing location on your own, so you can focus on riding and watching the sky.
