Sorrisniva

You can visit year-round, enjoying activities tailored to each season, including riverboat tours, snowmobile adventures, Northern Lights hunting, and Sami cultural experiences. Each winter, a magnificent ice hotel is built, providing a magical atmosphere for our guests. With the addition of the Arctic Wilderness Lodge, we now offer accommodation throughout the year.

At one of our cozy restaurants, you can savor seasonal dishes crafted from local produce. Ensuring our guests enjoy high-quality meals and warm hospitality is our priority.

Lavvu Restaurant caters to both small and large groups, offering the finest dishes. Sorrisniva is renowned for its high-quality food, featuring seasonal menus based on local resources.

With over 30 years of experience, Sorrisniva has now become a recognized destination for tourists from all over the world. Over the years we have served thousands of guests powerful experiences – with nature as the most important ingredient. Everything we have is based on local and genuine ingredients, and we deliver these with care and pride.

The summer months are bright and sunny. From June to September you can experience the riverboat tour up the world famous Alta River. With one of our experienced boaters, you get a boat trip with the best experience Northern Norway’s nature can offer. Towards majestic Sautso, Northern Europe’s largest canyon, the valley becomes narrower and the nature wilder. We depart at fixed times from Sorrisniva, but we can also accommodate larger groups.

During the winter we offer many different experiences. You can go on organized snowmobile tours up to the Finnmark plateau, with views over Northern Europe’s largest canyon. Upon request we arrange snowmobile safaris for longer trips with accommodation, VIP tours or trips tailored to your needs.

Our Sami experience includes a tour with reindeer and sled, with visits to the lavvu, a Sami tent, where you also get an insight into Sami culture and history. This activity can also be booked in the evening where you are looking for the Northern Lights.

Our traditional Igloo Hotel is built every year, which opens in December. With various themes the hotel carries its distinctive character from one season to another. Our Igloo Hotel is a very popular destination for both visits or overnight stays. You can also book a wedding in our beautiful ice chapel.
