Day by Day Itinerary
Day 1
Arrive into Tromso where you will get your taxi transfer into the city known as the ‘Paris of the North’ – settle into your accommodation before taking the time to go and explore the city. Depending on what time you arrive we might be able to organise an excursion for you such as an Aurora Dinner Cruise!
Day 2
Spending the morning taking the time to explore Tromso – why not head up the cable cart to the one of the best viewpoints in Northern Norway (and most famously spotted in the recent ‘Race Around the World’ series. In the afternoon you will be picked up and transferred from Tromso to your acommodation for the next 3 nights – Lyngen Experience Lodge. The lodge is nestled by the fjords and by this time of the season it will be immersed in snow. Take some time to explore your surroundings before having dinner and heading out on a Northern Lights excursion to see if you get lucky with the aurora.
Day 3
Dogsledding
Embark on an exclusive Arctic wilderness adventure with Tom-Frode Johansen’s renowned team.
This unforgettable journey entails exploring diverse terrains within a majestic landscape. The duration of the trip is approximately 4-5 hours, during which we will assess daily where the optimal dog sledding experience can be provided. It’s important to note that due to the length and challenging nature of the trails, participants should be in good physical condition. Along the way, we will take a brief break to build a fire, enjoy a cup of coffee, and indulge in some snacks.
Each individual will drive their own sled, accompanied by a small group of huskies leading the way. Prior to departure, you’ll have the opportunity to assist with adjusting the harnesses and warmly greet our Alaskan huskies. A remarkable bond forms between the huskies and the sleigh riders. You will swiftly learn how to guide and communicate with them, and if there’s one thing the huskies truly adore, it’s running and receiving affectionate embraces.
Prepare for a journey where you’ll experience the companionship of animals, breathtaking landscapes, and awe-inspiring vistas amidst the heart of the Lyngen Alps.
Day 4
Snowmobiling and Aurora Hut
Experience the thrill of a snowmobile safari in the stunning outer Lyngen region, embraced by the majestic Lyngen Alps.
Embark on a thrilling journey as you traverse the snowmobile trail, ascending the mountain. The trail commences with gentle and level paths, providing the perfect opportunity to familiarise yourself with the snowmobile and unleash its potential for exploring this captivating wilderness.
Throughout the expedition, numerous stops will be made, allowing you to capture breathtaking photographs or simply immerse yourself in the awe-inspiring beauty of nature’s landscapes.
Witnessing the grandeur of the Alps while being in such close proximity to the sea is an extraordinary and impactful encounter.
Embrace the adventure in pairs, with the option to switch drivers midway if desired, ensuring everyone can savor the excitement of being at the helm.

We enjoyed both the hotels that were arranged by weekend a la Carte Aurora nights. The Porsmork trip was very enjoyable, both guides were fantastic and informative.
The Northern Light hunt trip out of Reykjavik with Superjeep was an adventure and we got to see the lights, worth braving the cold at -6.

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.
Carol Wrack
1. Gourmet Cabins was excellent and Johan was a friendly and knowledgeable host. The food, cabins, hot tub and sauna were brilliant.
2. Dog sledge was a fantastic experience and we were given the opportunity to drive our own sledge
3. Snow Mobile – really got off the beaten track and into the spectacular mountains
4. Saw the Northern Lights twice in two days. There is no description that can really do them justice

I appreciate the fast response to my inquiries regarding my trip. It would take decision making faster on my part, and plan my itinerary and activities being offered by the company accordingly.

We had the most fabulous time and everything worked like clockwork. The guides were extremely knowledgeable and extremely competent. The food was excellent and the experiences, especially Husky Homes, were brilliant. We saw the aurora lights at the mountain top in Abisko where the photography tour will be an enduring memory of a wonderful time. I would very much recommend Weekend a la Carte as a proficient tour operator.
Mark Nicholson
Hotel Ranga was perfect, with amazing food. It is in the middle of nowhere, very quiet and with the weather being bad there wasn’t the possibility of leaving the hotel in the evening so mightn’t suit all for that reason. Super Jeep tour we thoroughly enjoyed with 2 lovely guides.
Hotel Borg was in the perfect location. For us, one night in Reykjavik would be ample.
Blue Lagoon was a wonderful experience only heightened by the appearance of the northern lights on our walk home from dinner. All in all we had the best holiday and we plan to return to Iceland hopefully sooner rather than later.

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!

We have never before experienced such friendly and simultaneously professional service! Alex’s communication was super prompt, questions encouraged and welcomed and attended to with great care and detail. Everything was well organised and available on beautifully designed and very useful platforms. Our destination (Mattarahkka Northern Lights Lodge) was fabulous on so many different levels – exquisite views, friendly interactions from everyone on the team, great food, exciting activities, perfectly situated to see the northern lights (seen twice in 4 nights’ stay), a great fire place, and not to mention our fantastic guide Fabio. Their provision of winter kit (hats, down jacket, snow trousers, leather gloves and boots) offered everything we needed to be comfortable outside. All we needed to have packed really were base layers, a few layers of clothing and woollen socks. Defintely somewhere we would highly recommend and return to when possible!
