Experience the best of Finnmark with our carefully curated packages. A combination of nature, local flavours, comfort and authentic Northern Norwegian experiences
The dogs are the heart of everything we do. We always put their welfare first and want to share the joy of activities with our dogs, the nature and life in the north with our guests.
I have worked as a chef my whole life, and since 2005 I have had the pleasure of creating food based on local ingredients from Finnmark. Through food experiences, courses and dinners at Trasti & Trine I want to share the flavours, stories and traditions from the north with you.
Stay comfortably in the guesthouse or our cabins, close to nature and life on the farm. Here you will find peace, warmth and genuine northern experiences.
Locally sourced ingredients and honest flavours. Experience the story behind the meal in our kitchen. Welcome home to us.
At Trasti & Trine we do as much as possible ourselves, because closeness creates responsibility. The light, the dark, the weather, the animals, the raw materials and the landscape shape our choices every day. Climate reporting is how we make that responsibility visible – not as perfect answers, but as deliberate actions for the place we are part of.

Where we live defines our approach to the world around us.
Some call it sustainability, others describe it as regenerative tourism and there are many other fine descriptions. At Trasti & Trine it is part of our DNA and guides our values: Robust, Vibrant and Creative.
Alta and Finnmark have a strong history rooted in nature. In Sami it is called Meacchi, which can be understood as life in, with and from nature. A symbiosis built on respect and dependence.
Because Sami culture is embedded in the place's DNA, it comes naturally to us to preserve and build on these traditions. It serves as the compass that guides our choices.
Over time Trasti & Trine has made a number of concrete choices to strengthen the nature, the people and the community we are part of. No single measure solves everything on its own, but together they represent the direction we want to move in.
The Forkprint Foundation was established to make this responsibility lasting. Through the foundation we want to give back to the community we are part of, the people who support the place and the nature that makes the experiences possible. Not as a one-off gesture, but as a long-term tool to strengthen community, knowledge and responsibility over time.
For us, robustness means taking responsibility even when the solutions are not the easiest or most common. Therefore Trasti & Trine have chosen a plant-specific guarantee of origin from a power plant in Finnmark via Ishavskraft. The choice gives us the ability to document where the electricity comes from, while also reinforcing our connection to the region we live and work in. In a time when the Arctic is changing faster than almost anywhere else on earth, we want to meet the future with action, transparency and respect for the nature we live in, with and from.
Stories have always been humanity's way of understanding the world. Through them knowledge, experiences and values are shared in a way that creates meaning, emotion and belonging. In the north, storytelling across generations has been an important part of both Sami and northern Norwegian culture — a way to learn, remember and understand the relationship between people, society and nature. For Trasti & Trine, storytelling is therefore a natural part of how we create experiences with deeper meaning. When knowledge, the senses and feelings meet, experiences become memories that last beyond the visit itself.
Trasti & Trine is part of Alta, not only as a workplace and destination, but as part of the community that shapes the place. Through Forkprint we want to contribute to vibrant local communities, create space for learning and inclusion, and support initiatives that strengthen people and belonging. Responsible value creation is also about giving back to the community we live in, with and from.
What the guest experiences with us begins long before they sit down to a meal, meet the dog sled team or open the door to their room. The experience is shaped by the people, the ingredients, the knowledge and the choices behind it. That is why, over time, we have become increasingly focused on reducing the distance in the value chain around us. Not because we want more control, but because we want greater understanding.
