Unique Arctic Spirit Adventure in Alta, Norway

Arctic Spirit Adventure: (Ice,) Fire & Flavor

Experience the essence of the Arctic through a sensory journey where nature, fire, and flavour unite. Follow your guide through the forest — on snowshoes in winter or along trails in warmer months — to a secluded riverside fire. Here, a refined tasting ceremony celebrates Norwegian craftsmanship and Arctic traditions, complemented by storytelling and the beauty of the surrounding landscape.
Arctic Spirit Adventure is a signature ONGA experience where every season reveals its own spirit.

Discover the spirit of the Arctic in an experience that awakens the senses where nature, fire, and flavour come together in perfect harmony.

Guided by the rhythm of the seasons, this curated journey begins with a walk through the serene landscapes surrounding ONGA Boutique Lodge — on snowshoes in winter, or along forest paths in the warmer months. Each step brings you closer to the essence of the North: the silence, the purity, and the connection to nature.
By the riverbank, a fire is lit setting the stage for a refined tasting ceremony that celebrates Norwegian craftsmanship and tradition.

In winter, the ritual includes ice cut from the frozen river; in warmer months, it’s the forest and the soft sounds of the river that create the atmosphere.

As stories unfold and flavours mingle, time seems to pause, leaving you with a lasting impression of Arctic elegance and authenticity.
