ATV Northern Lights Tour
Tour Overview
Alta sits directly beneath the auroral oval, one of the most active Northern Lights belts on earth. On this evening ATV tour you leave the city glow behind and head into the hills and onto the plateau above Alta, where the sky opens up. Your guide follows live aurora forecasts and adjusts the route to find the clearest conditions. On an ATV you can follow the lights wherever they appear. When the sky is active, we stop and switch off the engines. Your guide explains both the science and the Sámi mythology around the aurora. Warm drinks and snacks are served at a sheltered stop along the way. Even when the aurora stays away, the ride is worth it: a moonlit plateau, crisp air and Arctic silence.
