Sorrisniva Igloo Hotel, hotel in Alta

Situated 20 km from Alta’s town centre, along the Alta River, is this special igloo hotel.

Great experience staying in the ice hotel. We stayed in the basic ice rooms since they were much cheaper and you can visit the carved rooms before 8pm. Food was lovely in the Laavu restaurant and breakfast was also very nice. Sleeping bags for the ice hotel were cosy and warm which made for a comfortable sleep.

Gargia Lodge, hotel in Alta

Located a 30-minute drive from Alta city centre, between the arctic tundra and the arctic sea you will find Gargia Lodge, surrounded by nature.

Breakfast was great and so was the staff. Everyone was so friendly and nice. Made you feel right at home. The location is a bit far from town but its worth it if you're looking to be immersed in nature. The lodge offers lots of tours and activities.

Sorrisniva Arctic Wilderness Lodge, hotel in Alta

Set in Alta, 17 km from The Rock art of Alta, Sorrisniva Arctic Wilderness Lodge offers accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace.

The place is really amazing. It’s obviously quite expensive, and there are just the two restaurants. But it’s all worth it for the amazing location, excursions and pleasantness.

Flatmoen Natur Lodge, hotel in Alta

Featuring a spa bath, Flatmoen Natur Lodge is located in Alta. Providing free private parking, the campground is 7.2 km from The Rock art of Alta.

We loved our experience at flatmoen! To be honest it wasn’t huge but had everything we needed in the cabins. 1. The temperature was nice and cozy we loved the little touches such as the heated flooring and mini fireplace. 2. We used the stove to cook lunch and dinner during our stay. Breakfast by the accommodation was also delicious. 3. We wanted a relaxing trip away and flatnoen delivered. the best views in winter, go during march . Plenty of snowfall but it gave a lovely view to wake up to. We absolutely loved the hot tub in minus degree weather as well. 4. It is best to rent a car but you can easily find a taxi via the “alta taxi app” - each trip to the town centre would cost around 300-400 kr . For a scenic walk, it took us about 30-40 mins to the bus stop - the bus will take you to the town centre. 5. There is even nature - we saw a wild moose and her calf from the cabin and it was magical! 6. Sale of alcohol in Norway can only be bought at the only liquor store at amfi mall in alta. Beers can be bought at the supermarket but no sale after 8pm. Restaurant able to serve alcohol till 11.

    Lovely cute place which is not too commercial.

    Lovely cute place which is not too commercial. Great place to do a northern light run, Go for a smaller tour size of 7-8 ppl instead of 50 sized. First its very safe even if you are going solo and also you have a more personal discussion with the group and also much more personalized attention to see the stars and the northern lights.

    I came for the museums and some quiet relaxation, and got plenty of that! Lovely town with good food and lovely people. The weather in June was grand... nice during the day, cooler at night. A fan was all I needed to be cool enough to sleep. The local taxi company got me around town with ease, though their is a bus I never tried out. I sadly do not speak any Norwegian, and I was able to get around with ease.

    Alta is a town that is difficult to reach in winter, so it is good to make reservations as late as possible to get a refund without penalty. Accommodation owners and tour operators will take your money and not refund you even if you prove that you didn't arrive in Alta due to weather (cancelled planes or planes that were unable to land).

    Be sure to p pick the right time of year.

    Be sure to p pick the right time of year. The summer season is very short and several museums and other places close at the end of August. September we found to be relatively fine as well as October. We found that some places were closed whether this was because of the end of season or still related to Covid is/was uncertain. Alta Museum and its rock drawings and other Sami history is very interesting and informative. The Northern Lights (Nordlys) Cathedral stands dominant in the centre of town and well worth a visit. Obviously at this particular tie of year the Northern Lights are always a possibility.

    There are many grocery shops some of which are very large. We could find gluten free food The views of the mountains and bay are very nice when it’s sunny The rock carvings museum is definitely a place to visit I recommend the Vanvitting Grill for the excellent raindeer burger with strawberry sauce

    Not only is this a magical place located in the middle of the forest, it is also very cosy and comfortable. Our room was clean, modern, spacious. It had a kitchenette which was very convenient. Plus, there is a free fast charger for electric cars. The hosts offer a gourmet breakfast with a lot of variety and local produce. The food served for lunch and dinner is excellent as well. This place does not feel like a hotel, it's like visiting friends and family. A must when travelling near Alta.

    The facility was very well managed in the aspects the host considered essential to a camp styled accommodation. Although many things were not provided, like in-cabin bathroom/toilet; or provided with extra cost like towels, bedsheets and duvet linen, pillow cases etc, customers should understand this is by its nature as a camping facility, not a hotel. With this in mind, I was fully satisfied of my stay there for 2 nights. Good job.

    We had an all around fantastic stay. Staff was really nice and proactive to make you feel at home. The included breakfast and the meals we ordered were delicious. Certainly a fantastic experience if you're looking for something other than the usual hotel room. And as luck has had it the weather allowed us to see a beautiful aurora right there and then.

    Good location close but outside Alta. Nice cabin. Very friendly and helpful staff member. He did his best to allow for the heating of my car during the night (-20 C). The are only a few electricity plugs on the camp side and wire extension was necessary to reach these due to the snow.

    Breakfast was really good, although pending pending completion of extensions it was at an adjacent building. The hotel is really central in the town, and easily found and at the hub of facilities in town. Wellness centre including yoga, sauna was a bonus.
