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.

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.

The 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.

Amazing location, experience and storytelling. The scenic views and ride feel just out of a action movie. Recommend this for all adults to try.

It was a wonderful tour in a fascinating landscape with wonderful weather. It was my first snowmobile ride and it was great. The guides were nice and explained everything in detail and guided us wonderfully. I would do the tour again and again!!
