Sorrisniva Arctic Wilderness Lodge

In the heart of Arctic Norway, where the Alta River meanders through a snowy wilderness, lies Sorrisniva—a sanctuary for those seeking both adventure and tranquillity. As winter drapes the landscape in its icy embrace, Sorrisniva transforms into a realm of ethereal beauty and serene solitude, perfect for a remote escape.

The Arctic Wilderness Lodge at Sorrisniva epitomises luxury and comfort in the wild. Perched on the riverbank, the lodge’s floor-to-ceiling windows frame the mesmerising Arctic scenery, offering guests an uninterrupted view of the pristine snow and, come nightfall, the dancing neon lights of the aurora. Each room, whether a cosy river room or a spacious suite, is designed to blur the lines between indoor comfort and outdoor splendour, allowing you to feel truly immersed in the natural surroundings​.

For those craving a unique Arctic experience, the Igloo Hotel awaits. Reconstructed each winter from ice and snow, this ephemeral marvel showcases intricate ice sculptures and themed suites that seem straight out of a fairytale. The ice bar, a crystalline wonder, invites you for a drink in an ambiance that is cool in every sense of the word. The ice chapel, too, is a sight to behold, offering a surreal setting for weddings and christenings​ 

But Sorrisniva is not just about where you stay; it’s about what you do. Imagine snowmobiling across the vast Finnmark plateau, feeling the crisp Arctic air rush past as you search for the Northern Lights. Or perhaps a husky sledding adventure, where the only sounds are the swish of the sled runners and the occasional bark of the dogs. For a slower pace, try snowshoeing through silent forests or engaging in a Sami cultural experience, complete with reindeer sledding​.

After a day of Arctic exploration, Maku Restaurant offers a culinary haven. Here, the flavors of the North are celebrated with dishes featuring locally sourced ingredients like salmon, reindeer, and wild berries, crafted into gourmet masterpieces that warm both body and soul​.
