Forget about staying in Kiruna city and joining the expensive chase the northern lights tours. If you only wanna see the aurora, stay at Camp Alta. The accommodation is of great value, fun activities for whole family and most importantly, service from the heart. Miriam n Leif are great with their service and very warm people. Miriam's reindeer kebab is... More

The first adult trip that my husband and I took since the birth of child was to Kiruna-we are absolutely thrilled with our choice. We had looked at a couple of different places to stay in the area before deciding on Camp Alta-we are more than happy with selection. The owners, Miriam and Life, are so sweet and genuine providing... More

We were 2 adults with 2 teenage boys. We booked early in advance, not only the cabin but also the tours we planned. (dog sledge, snowscooter and cross country skiing) The owners of the camp put it all together so it fit in our tight 2.5 day schedule. They organized transportation between the tours, camp and back to the airport.... More

Visiting Campalta in April was one of the most beautiful trips I have ever done and one of the most beautiful places ever visited. The landscape is amazing, the owners the most friendly and the trips to books the most amazing. I enjoyed a snow mobile trip to the ice hotel, which you should not miss. The other day I... More

We stayed here for three nights. Booking was rather complicated, since the owner's internet didn't seem to work, and then the house booked for us was doubly booked. But the owners solved the problem friendly and elegantly, and extensively apologized for the hassle. We looked out over the lake, from two tiny cabins, with a huge field around them. We... More

Camp Alta really is a gem in Swedish Lapland, I just wished we could have stayed longer! We stayed 3 nights from 22nd to 25th March 2012 in the Log Cabin. The cabin has a wood burner, microwave, refrigerator, plenty of cutlery, plates etc. (The inventory however doesn't match what is physically there) It doesn't have running water,or a sink,... More

This place is excellent for winter activities around the area of Kiruna. The cabin we book was spacious, comfortable and extremely warm. The owner was a friendly person (although when we first met he first asked if we had money to pay and then introduced!). Activities are well plan and there are plenty of stuff to do around. Rooms are... More

I cannot recommend Camp Alta enough!! The location is beautiful, as the camp is situated on the north side of Lake Alttajärvi, complete with a floating sauna building on the water (though, of course, the water is frozen at this time of year). The real plus is that the staff is so friendly, helpful, professional and accommodating (I am shocked... More

Great trip out into the forests outside of Kiruna searching for the Northern Lights. Unfortunately they failed to appear but had a wonderful first rides on snowmobiles. Had a wonderful time and enjoyed slowly winding through the forest and then I took the opportunity with our guide to take our machines up to 70km per hour on the frozen Torne... More

Just to thank you one more time for cancelling our booking 20 minutes before our arriving!! That was really nice, it shows your good organization and the importance you give to your customers... Fortunately, we've found another place to sleep but when you've planned your trip since a long time to avoid this kind of trouble, it's kind of boring...
