5.00The gear they provide is amazing. Wear what you brought to be warm but then take everything they offer because it is warm and extremely nice. We were very comfortable during the ride. This was a perfect trip for multiple generations. Stig was a fantastic guide. The views were breathtaking. The snowmobiles were in excellent shape and the gear was top notch. Can’t say enough good things. You just have to take this trip! Booked on our own , not through our cruise. Best decision ever. 💜
Highly recommend

5.00We were in Alta during our cruise and had booked a snowmobile safari in advance with Alta Adventure. We were picked up punctually at 9:00 by Stig and Sebastian. Our group consisted of 8 participants and that was optimal. We were then equipped in the office with thermal suits and helmets and off we went to the starting point of the snowmobile tour. Stig and Sebastian were great tour guides and showed us a lot of the snowy landscape. We drove over a frozen lake, up to a plateau and into a valley. Overall, the snowmobile tour lasted about 3 hours and we drove about 45 kilometers each on a snowmobile. We can recommend not only the tour, but also Stig and Sebastian as tour guides without restriction.
Great trip!

5.00This is the second time we have been on the road with Stig, the first time 3 years ago. This time it was great and the weather was sunny. Since we were only traveling in a very small group, he could also respond to our wishes individually. Thanks for the great trip, Stig!
Alta Adventure - ‘does what it says on the tin’

5.00Thanks Stig (and Sebastian) for sharing your ‘back garden’, as well as a bit of life, with us - we had a great time. We’re glad we both went solo and thanks for being patient at the outset. Love the small group ethos - it’s much more personal.
Lack of speed and excitement

3.00If your looking for speed and excitement then don't use this tour company!! The owner took us and even when speed limit was 40 we only hit 22-26 kph he refused to go any faster, all the equipment was spot on just a shame the trip wasnt as good, owner even tried the hard sell to get us onto 2 different skimoblies rather than the 1 that was booked
