Alta, Norway - Arctic Circle Adventure - We Crashed the Dog Sled

We flew to one of the northernmost cities in Europe, Alta, Norway for a fun week of snow, dogs and maybe the northern lights?! The weather in northern Norway was awesome and we had such a fun time learning how to drive a dog sled and soaking in the beautiful mountain surroundings of Alta.
We also were lucky enough to be in Alta for the start of the longest dog sled race in Europe!

✼ ABOUT US ✼
We are Nate and Katrina, two Americans living in Amsterdam, The Netherlands and traveling as much as we can to see what there is to see! Call us expats, immigrants, whatever... just call us already.
We balance work life with travel... as best we can! We would love to visit every country in Europe while we live here, and definitely keep a list of our global “must visit” destinations.
We try to give you a true view of us and how we travel and explore the world. Lots of food, definitely some jokes, and probably some swearing…. Hope you enjoy taking these trips with us!

You were lucky to be in Alta during the Finnmark dog sled race. The cabin you stayed in is also in the same village as I live in (about 8 minutes away), so you have really found a lovely place to stay. "Saltsild" is really popular among children, and "Smash" is a really good chocolate that is loved by many. So good that you got to see the northern lights, even we who live here think it's magical. Welcome back to Alta!

We didn’t even plan it that way - just a very happy accident! Thank you for watching! We loved your city! 🫶🏻

I have been to Alta once....very early February. It was DARK. :D But it was a full moon when we landed, and the fligth over the landscape to the airport!! Beatiful. :) I'm Norwegian and have been everywhere in this country, from Trondheim and south, west and east. But north of Fosen. Just Tromsø and Alta. :)

[@nateandkatrinadotheworld]

It is very beautiful! Thanks for watching!

Alaska huskeys are generally LOVELY dogs. Now I have only two, but I think I have about 50. It's not actually a race, it's mixed raced dogs bred for pulling strength and speed. At least here in Norway. One of mine was actually just 50/50 Greyhound and Schnauzer. But it was still an "Alaska huskey". Most of them are lovely dogs. :)

[@nateandkatrinadotheworld]

They all seemed very lovely where we did the dog sledding. Definitely a must do!

[@Jan.Folkersma]

You truly are professional travelers: even when going to Norway you bring your swimming gear. I like seeing happy animals and a happy Katrina. This video has it all. 1200km on a dogsled makes our Elfstedentocht look like a walk in the park. Next time somebody is having a chocolate fondue I'll bring a bag of Bugles. #tip

[@nateandkatrinadotheworld]

We were prepared for the hot tub! It really was one of the best days on that dog sled. We would do it again in a heartbeat. Thanks for watching, Jan!

[@aislingbooks]

Nice way to celebrate your birthday. Mine was two weeks ago. Gefeliciteerd. Oh, and sláinte! 🍀🍻

Thanks for watching! We had the best time dog sledding. The accident kind of added to the whole experience! Haha.

[@adventuresbyrust]

Fantastic ❤❤. My dogsled trip on a glacier in Alaska got cancelled. 😢 Looks like an absolute blast. 😊

[@nateandkatrinadotheworld]

Oh no! That's a good excuse to go back to Alaska!

[@nuxgl]

Happy Birthday Katrina ! 🙃

[@ovekkjlstad7703]

You can fly commercially to small airports north of Alta. Probably 10 places.

My dad loved black licorice. Yuck. I have to join the smuggle crew with those chocolate buggles! ❤

It's definitely an acquired taste that not everyone has! And try to get your hands on those chocolates - so good! Thanks for following along!

[@darrellhornick7764]

I'm 100% with Katrina on this one. No No No black Licorice! EVER!

[@nateandkatrinadotheworld]

This is the correct response! 😂

[@samsabruskongen]

You are not allowed to visit Norway. EVER.

[@KHspecialfood]

Hello sir madam

[@Oslohiker]

For seing the northern light mid march is your best bet, and you're probably aware of that. Now I understand why you were in Oslo. Alta is in my opinion the ugliest city in Norway. Nice people, though.

Thanks for watching!
