You can "drive" your own dog team into the winterland.
They arrange short or longer trips.
And this is a fantastic way to explore the nature.
I was also amazed that the dogs was soooo nice and sweet....

Cabin, Alta

 Gili_S Says:  This time after the storm we decide to stay in a warm cabin for a change, that was excellent choice, a nice family cabin with nice living room, two bedrooms, small kitchen and shower. Even TV they had here.

There were few places we saw around here but our choice this time was for the basic hamburger place, a local restaurant that judging by the queue here, it seems like the only place that tourist can afford to eat out here ;-)

The Northernmost Subway in the World

During spring of 2004, Subway opened its northernmost franchise in Alta, Norway. It's your standard Subway, just as you know it from, well, anywhere else. They even know what a BLT is (I taught them) even though it's not on the menu. (It has, however, appeared on the website.)

Open 7 days/wk 10am-9pm

Favorite thing: The people here is very friendly. A lot of them are "lapp/same" people. And they try to keep old traditions.
The nature is also amazing!

Fondest memory: The snow scooter safari was unforgetteble!
