Activity description
Skid through the vast mountain plateau of Finnmarksvidda on this exhilarating snowmobile outing!
Finnmark is home to Europe's largest mountain plateau, offering 360 panoramic views over the Arctic desert. Zoom around and let the cold air fill your lungs as you revel in the total emptiness of the snow-covered valleys.
1) Morning Adventure:
A 4-hour roundtrip to Finnmarksvidda driving 30 towards the enchanting Gargia Lodge, where you will be equipped with thermosuits, boots, and gloves. Then, after a safety briefing, you will head off on your snowmobile and drive all the way to the Beskades mountain range situated on the edge of Finnmarksvidda. You will stop there to enjoy the stunning views over Northern Norway over some hot drinks and snacks. You will then head back to the lodge, and drive back to Alta.
2) Historical Postal Route:
For a longer and more wholesome experience, we invite you to join us for a trip along an old postal road, up to the highest points in the plains. This trip has approximately the same mileage, 60 km, with 2 hours on the snowmobile. However, halfway through our tour, we will stop in an old mountain lodge to enjoy a nice and warm traditional meal. We will then head back to the lodge, and drive back to Alta.
Both of the trips require you to bring nothing but your driver's permit and a camera (and perhaps a woolly scarf). We offer the possibility to use an individual snowmobile or to share with a passenger. In the latter, there will be chances to exchange roles midway so that both get to experience driving the snowmobile.
For those on the prowl for epic landscapes and throbbing adrenaline, these trips will not disappoint!
