A great winter experience - Although it was the coldest I have ever been I thoroughly enjoyed my first snowmobile ride, the scenery was spectacular- like a winter wonderland. The team provides all the cold weather gear and good instructions on operating the snowmobile. Very enjoyable way to spend the morning!

fantastic, - excellent 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 - Absolutely 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.

Snowmobile Novices - 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.
