Historical Snowmobile Tour Across Finnmarksvidda
Overview
Join us for a ride along Norway's longest historical postal route. While the route was operated in the 19th century 30 different reindeer herding families got their mail delivered to them along this road. You will get a glimpse of what it used to take to deliver a mail up here in the sometimes-harsh, rough conditions of the arctic. We will take you on journey, following part of the original route between Gargia and Suolovuopmi Mountain Lodge.
This trip gives you an exhilarating way of exploring the arctic scenery just right outside our doorstep. While driving through the magical winter landscape, there is a possibility to see wildlife as well. Once we reach the highest point of the plains you will be impressed by the vast views that Europe’s largest mountain plateau has to offer.

What to expect
Itinerary
We follow the old postal road 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 cannot promise you windless days and clear skies, but whatever the weather, the nature on the plateau will be just as magnificent and impressive.

Fantastisk tur i flotte omgivelser, med et vær som var helt fantastisk! Guiden vår var kjempeflink - grundig og tydelig gjennomgang av scooter før kjøring og flere korte stopp underveis hvor vi fikk interessant og lærerik informasjon om området som vi beveget oss i.
