Guided hiking experiences in the Arctic wilderness
Step into the quiet wilderness of Northern Norway and experience the mountains of Målselv at a slower, more meaningful pace. Our guided hikes are designed for small, private groups who want more than just a walk in nature — they are journeys into landscapes shaped by glaciers, wildlife, and generations of stories.
From ancient pine forests along the Divi Valley to open viewpoints above Øvre Dividal National Park, each hike combines local knowledge, geology, and Arctic history. With a local guide by your side, you will learn to read the landscape. The focus is not on distance or speed, but on connection: to nature, to silence, and to the wild character of the north.
All experiences are guided in a personal and flexible way, allowing time to observe wildlife, enjoy a warm meal outdoors, and truly take in the surroundings. Whether you join a scenic valley walk or a deeper wilderness hike towards the Iron Crown, you can expect an authentic Arctic adventure shaped by local experience, ethical guiding, and a deep respect for the environment.

Guided hiking in Øvre Dividal National Park
Øvre Dividal National Park is one of Northern Scandinavia’s most untouched wilderness areas — a landscape of ancient pine forests, deep river gorges, open mountain plateaus, and rich wildlife habitats. Located in Målselv kommune, the park offers a rare opportunity to experience Arctic nature away from busy tourist trails, where silence, space, and raw beauty define every step of the journey.
Up in the Arctic offers guided hiking experiences that bring you closer to the unique character of Øvre Dividal National Park. Led by a local geologist and experienced wilderness guide, our hikes explore both the natural history and cultural stories of the Dividal valley. Along the powerful Divi River you will discover geological formations such as the Giant’s Kettles, shaped by ancient glacial forces, while deeper wilderness routes lead towards open viewpoints like the Iron Crown — a place where forest meets mountain and the vast landscape unfolds.
Hiking in Øvre Dividal is not only about reaching a destination, but about understanding the environment. The area is home to moose, wolverine, lynx, and a wide variety of birdlife, and your guide will share insight into the delicate balance of Arctic ecosystems. Stories of Sámi traditions and early settlers add another layer to the experience, connecting the landscape to the people who have lived alongside it for generations.
All hikes in Øvre Dividal National Park are offered as private experiences for small groups, couples, and families. This allows for a slower pace, flexible routes, and respectful wildlife encounters. Whether you join a scenic valley hike through old-growth pine forest or venture above the tree line into true mountain wilderness, each journey is designed to highlight the quiet, authentic nature of the park.
