The farther north you travel, the colder it becomes, and the more the skies put on a show. Sunsets blaze with surreal colours,
the night skies thrill, and the seas roar beneath the winds that can reach nearly 100 mph—enough to make you grateful for your motion-sickness bands. We experienced a force 10 gale, winds clocking 97 mph, and somehow managed to sleep through it.
Welcome to Alta—the city of the Midnight Sun and the Northern Lights. It’s a place where the extremes of nature meet the extremes of beauty. During the long winter nights, the aurora borealis lights up the sky, an electric dance of charged particles colliding with atoms in the upper atmosphere. Violent, zigzagging, yet breathtakingly graceful, the Northern Lights have drawn explorers and dreamers here for centuries. In fact, the world’s first Northern Lights observatory was built here at the end of the 19th century.
The famous blue aurora appears only during the winter months, from November to January, when the nights are at their longest. And if you time your visit right, you’ll also catch the magic of Alta’s husky sledge races, where ice sculptures line the streets in a sparkling celebration of speed, endurance, and tradition.
Alta isn’t just a place you visit; it’s a place you experience.
