Gargia Lodge

Due to an issue with Norwegian Airlines, we were forced to lay over here for 24 hours…. What a fantastic experience!!… The welcome from Rose was great, the food was hearty and simply delicious and the bed in my Room, no.1 was simply like sleeping on clouds…. Wonderful, unexpected experience, whole heartedly recommend a stay here!

The staff in Gargia Lodge made the whole experience worth the trip. They were so friendly, attentive and very helpful from the moment we arrived. The breakfast and dinner was great and we got to experience the Northern Lights. We loved the place!!

An absolute blissful location and fulfilled every wish we had for a stay in Norway. Tranquil setting, with stunning scenery and friendly, hospitable hosts. Nothing was too much trouble and they were able to cater to my vegetarian dietary requirements. The food was delicious and it was lovely getting to eat in the lodge with beautiful views out into the trees and hillside. We’ve always dreamed of staying in a log cabin next to snowy mountains but aren’t confident driving on the opposite side of the road so we’re glad to find a holiday package which meant we were able to get somewhere that felt remote, easily. The accommodation was clean, warm and cosy. The activities were brilliant, especially the dog sledding and we enjoyed the snowmobiling in the darkness. I would throughly recommend.

We spent some days there in January to watch aurora borealis (aka northern lights). The lodge is really a good place, far out in the country side, not much light pollution. The team is so helpful and they really take care to make it a good stay, very personal and considering. Like visiting friends you know for ages. Everything is not large scale but very individual, loved the sauna at -20 (do take slippers, barefoot only for 2 minutes). This place is authentic and not about super luxury, and well worth the price. Fully recommend snow mobile, dogsledding (have ample time to cuddle the huskies, if you like dogs)!

The food was nice and had different dietary options upon request and they were quite accommodating. We also had their two course dinner which was about 100 gbp with dessert and alcohol for the two of us and the vegetarian food was so nice. It was very easy to book activities which you could do it online or via the reception. The staff were very helpful and give us great recommendations. Gargia Lodge is in a small secluded area 30mins drive from shops so I would keep that in mind. We would love to visit again.

We arrived in Alta by cruise ship and hired a car. We stumbled upon this place and were so glad we found it! The staff were so lovely - I can’t remember her name but she very kindly served us soup even though the lunch window had just finished. She also told us about the Sami people and introduced us to her dogs. We had such a great time here. It’s a shame we didn’t have longer to rent some snow shoes, stay in the lodge, or use the sauna! They really went above and beyond to make us feel at home.

Great food and very nice staff. We had a great stay! We also we're lucky enough to see beautiful auroras!

We are so excited about Gargia Lodge! It‘s just the perfect place to stay in between nature. We had a little cabin, which was cleen, quiet and with super sweet interior. A cutr kitchen gave the opportiunity to cook by yourself, but we didn‘t use it because of the delicious norwegian meals that were prepared by the stuff. We felt very welcomed and had so much fun. The guides and stuff members are just gorgeus.
