Mobile ticket
On this trip we take you outside of Alta to our historical, 150 year old mountain lodge in Gargia valley. After preparing you for the adventurous ride ahead we take you along the old postal road up to the very edge of Finnmarksvidda to a mountain range called Beskades. Through snow covered forests we make our way up to the expansive mountain plains. Here you can embrace the true arctic wilderness, surrounded by only snow and the sky in all directions.
On the trip you will learn about our history and the lifestyle of the arctic, while also getting to experience Finnmarks culinary side with locally made snacks.
Our certified Guide will show you how to drive the snowmobile, and make sure you have an adventure to remember.

What To Expect
Join us and experience the charm of the Arctic wilderness! You will create memories that last forever. No previous knowledge is required to drive a snowmobile. All you need is a regular driver's license, and it's as simple as it is fun. A thorough safety introduction and driving instruction will be given before the trip starts. You will ride in pairs, a driver and a passenger on each snowmobile, with the opportunity to change seats during the trip. We drive into the remote mountain plateau Finnmarksvidda, one of Europe's last wilderness areas. We follow the old postal path up to the highest point of the plains. The temperature on the plateau can vary from a few plus degrees to well below freezing. We can not promise you windless days and clear skies, but whatever the weather, the nature on the plateau will be just as magnificent and impressive. Hot drinks and a snack / cake give a cozy touch to the outdoor experience. Cancellation may occur due to weather conditions.

5.00excellent and spectacular we drove to a small chalet about 30 minutes outside Alta and changed into ( all warm clothes and gloves boots provide but suggest you buy foot and hard warmers before you arrive as they were expensive and did not work!/ signed paperwork showed driving license ( mandatory if driving the snowmobile given a lession in the control and away we went but great guide (vicky i think) and due to the temp minus 30 we spent about 2 hours on finnmarksvidda a really clear day the snow perfect as recent snowfall
Brilliant experience

5.00Absolutely loved this adventure. Collected from central Alta and driven about 20mins out of town. There, we were given warm suits, boots, helmets and mittens and very clear instructions on how to drive. Drove out into a winter wonderland when it snowed as we left. Perfect. The plateau break gave us the sun set (or rise) and with a toddy and Norwegian chocolate, it was perfect. The instructors (Marion) were incredible. They stopped regularly to check in and gave us very clear expectations of what was coming next. They were very knowledgeable and really friendly. Would definitely do again.
Great experience with friendly guides

5.00The length of the experience was just right and we felt that we travelled a decent distance. Gear provided was really good so we didn't freeze to death. We had never done this before. The "thrill level" was about right.
Great snowmobiling!
