Wonderful waterfall day hike in Alta - Rose guided us on a really beautiful and peaceful hike through the woods that included a wonderful waterfall. The scenery was amazing and we saw very few other people on the trail. Rose was a fantastic guide and made the whole experience perfect. Her love of the area and Norway really showed. She always made sure we were safe and comfortable and shared lots of local knowledge with us. This was an excursion for us from a cruise ship and she insured we were back to the port with plenty of time to spare. We would highly recommend this hike.

To do at night! - On the recommendation of our beautiful meeting, Rose, here we go again at night to the icy waterfall made the day before in autumn. Top equipment to fight the cold, rockets, safety briefing and let's go! We walk in the forest and then we reach the tree line... We keep going up quietly. Radiant sky, small astronomy session in passing (Stellarium) with a constellation of Orion (Betelgeuse) and Jupiter next to it. Gemini constellation with Beaver and Pollux and Mars visible next door. And the big Bear. We're coming to the waterfall. It is very beautiful by day but magical by night. Rose then brings us a good hot drink in Cassis and Norwegian kat kit. After the break, we go back down to the lodge and... aurora borealis! Thank you Rose for this wonderful time!
