Bjørnfjell Mountain Lodge


The accommodation lies 379 km above the arctic circle, and 20 km away from Alta City Center, which makes it a stunning location to be engulfed by open nature and natural phenomenons.
Nestled in the heart of the Arctic, Bjørnfjell Mountain Lodge exhibits a deep-rooted connection to Norwegian farming traditions and cabin culture. On average, Norwegians spend 60 days a year in cabins—a cherished part of their cultural heritage. In earlier times, farmers would take their livestock to graze in the mountains each summer, living in small cabins where they relied on homemade foods, gathered berries, and nature’s offerings to sustain them. At Bjørnfjell Mountain Lodge, we invite you to experience this authentic Norwegian cabin lifestyle. Stay cozy in one of our private cabins or in a room at the main lodge while immersing yourself in the beauty of the surrounding Arctic nature.
The ski slopes and mountain tubing are only a few of the options available for young and old to enjoy together. The lodge is a home away from home and offers a cozy lounge and restaurant area where your warm loafers will be ready for you upon arrival. The views from the lodge are magnificent and reach as far as Alta fjord. All you have to do on a clear night is step outside an gaze at the stars or the lights. The rooms are decorated with natural materials and warm and calming colors. From your window you can see the surrounding nature and spectacular landscape that Bjørnfjell is situated within. The main lodge has several common areas such as the restaurant, lounge, outdoor seating, and of course the great outdoors. Craft your own adventure during the day, and return to a good night’s rest. Norwegian cabin culture places emphasis on being social and active with those you’re travelling with. In this sense, the private cabins are
geared towards a restful night, yet encourage you to spend time during the day being social or out in nature. Our private cabins that feature 4 beds with fully equipped kitchen, a loft, a dining area, a living area, and a fireplace. There are window seats that let you feel close to the outside world while staying in the comfort of your cozy cabin.

Northern lights tour reviews
We booked with Aurora for a short winter break to celebrate an event. We wanted something special and that’s what we got. Clear information was backed up with straightforward booking detail, and we had a super, holiday with no complications.
The holiday exceeded my expectations and I will use Aurora in the future. Thank you!
My wife and I had an awesome and memorable trip to Iceland thanks to Alex at Aurora Nights. Alex tailored the itinerary to exactly what we wanted to see and chose excellent hotels to stay at. We totally enjoyed the city of Reykjavik and the many beautiful waterfalls. He went above and beyond to not only recommend sights to see around the Golden Circle and Ring Road, but also mapped it out so we were prepared to drive through the country during unpredictable weather and road conditions. And we were especially pleased to see the Northern Lights on our visit. Alex was very flexible to make changes to our plans and choosing the wonderful Sky Lagoon to replace our tickets for the Blue Lagoon due to the closure from the volcanic activity. We highly recommend Alex and Aurora Nights.
An amazing trip and excellent service provided by all involved. Great value for money too. Food was excellent. Accommodation was wonderful and the trips booked were outstanding. An amazing trip
Cannot thank this company enough. Our break to Iceland was the second time we’ve let them organise everything for us and once again they didn’t disappoint. Everything ran seamlessly and the organised tours were wonderful. This company knows what they are doing. If you want to experience the geysers, the volcano, the northern lights and all the other exciting things that Iceland has to offer then this is the company to use.
