By: Travel PR 500km north of the Arctic Circle, Alta offers all the essentials for a Lapland break. Now, under four hours’ flight from central London (with a touch-down in Bodø), the city is also a new short-break destination. Making use of the new flights, The White Circle has introduced this new long weekend trip: NEW: Go north for the weekend to Norway Tick off all the Lapland must-dos on this Arctic weekend in Alta, taking just two days off work. During the three-night break, you’ll navigate the Arctic terrain on a husky-sled, hunt for the Northern Lights in dark, light pollution-free skies, learn to drive a snowmobile across the dramatic frozen landscapes and spend a night in an igloo. Unlike many igloo and snow hotels, Sorrisniva continues to be built by local designers and its facilities include outdoor hot tubs and a restaurant specialising in local and seasonal produce. There’s also time to explore the small city of Alta, with its pre-historic carvings, fascinating exhibition on the Aurora and, newly-opened (in 2013), the Cathedral of the Northern Lights which was inspired by and designed to symbolise the natural phenomenon. - Departing January-March 2014, ‘An Arctic Weekend in Alta’ costs from £1,545 pp (two sharing) including flights (London City), transfers, three nights’ B&B accommodation (including one night in an igloo hotel), one other meal, all activities, cold-weather clothing and guides.
