Join us for an unforgettable packrafting experience on the Alta River with Sorrisniva, where you'll explore the majestic river and experience the thrill of gliding through the Arctic landscape.

During your time on the river, you will experience stretches with exciting rapids to get your adrenaline flowing, but also calmer waters which gives you the opportunity to catch your breath and take in the stunning scenery.

Spot the local wildlife such as moose, eagles, otters, and salmon, while enjoying lunch on the banks of the river. This tour offers an immersive river experience perfect for adventure seekers.
