Top Alta On the Water

Take some time and the tranquil landscapes of the Mathisdalen Valley when you book this sleigh ride at a local farm. Board your sleigh, drawn by two Norwegian fjord horses, and snuggle up under warm blankets before taking off through the family farm. If you book in the winter, ride through snow and possibly see the northern lights while you ride.

Set out on snowmobiles, traversing snow-covered forests and ascending to vast mountain plains. Navigate the wintry terrain, keeping an eye out for Arctic wildlife.

Try your hand at this traditional Arctic pastime, learning the techniques and patience required to lure fish beneath the frozen surface. As you wait for a bite, appreciate the profound stillness and beauty of your surroundings, listening to the whispers of the Arctic wind and the gentle crunch of snow beneath your feet.
