Alta.
Breakfast in the hotel. Depart from Tromsø: you pass through the region of the spectacular Lyngen Alps, mountains ending abruptly in the Arctic Ocean creating a dramatic and splendid landscape. These peaks remain covered in eternal snow also during the summer adding yet another dose of magic to the picture. In winter, the Lyngen Alps are popular with off-piste skiers who hike to the top and take advantage of the pristine snow by sliding through breathtaking landscape. Ferry crossing from Breivikeidet to Svensby, then another ferry from Lyngeseidet to Olderdalen. From the village of Olderdalen, drive along the Lyngenfjord. Arrival to Alta in the afternoon, where you should not miss the Museum of Rock Carvings, one of the most important sites in the world with outstanding universal value. In Alta the changing landscape of prehistoric times is evident, and the position of the carvings also provides a key to understanding the chronology of rock art in the circumpolar region.

Breakfast in the hotel. Start the day with a visit to Alta's Ice Hotel, Sorrisniva. Entrance to the hotel in included and you can discover this wonderful structure made of snow and ice. This hotel is rebuilt every year as soon as the weather permits. The ice is sculpted to give shape to furniture: bed, armchair, restaurant tables, bar, murals etc. The result is breathtaking and gives a little touch of magic to the place. You can end your visit with a very refreshing drink at the Ice Bar, before heading north. You cross Finnmark and drive along Porsanger Fjord to reach Honningsvåg, at the very top of Norway.
Honningsvåg.
Breakfast in the hotel. Meet at 11 a.m. at Skarsvåg junction, about ten kilometers from the North Cape. Due to the heavy snow cover, it is necessary to get there by convoy, escorted by a snowplow. Here you are at the northernmost point in mainland Europe - the North Cape. Here you will find a restaurant, a small museum and a chapel here. In summer, this is where the midnight sun can be seen shining above the horizon. In winter, you can admire the immensity in front of you. Return by convoy at 1 p.m. to Honningsvåg for a moment of relaxation.
Hammerfest.
Breakfast in the hotel. Drive to Hammerfest in the morning, crossing magical landscapes covered with snow. You may also see herds of reindeer along the way.

You take advantage of the trip to admire the coasts and see the fjords from a new perspective - from the open sea this time. Be sure to step out on the deck after dark to try to catch the Northern Lights. If weather allows, Aurora is clearly visible from the sea, because there is no light pollution.
