Norwegian Fjords and Arctic Sea Snowmobile Safari

Discover your inner senses on this 2-country snowmobile adventure through the varying terrain of this beautiful Arctic wilderness. Drive through snow covered forests, across the vast frozen lakes , across open fell and over deep virgin powder snow. Only you and your snowmobile in harmony with nature. Feel the exhilaration as you reach what seems like the edge of the world; you may experience the Northern Lights or those "blue moments" when the sun disappears around mid-day. As your senses are heightened you can imagine yourself as a modern day pioneer seeing landscapes never before seen by the human eye. As the sun sets behind the trees feel the anticipation of another new dawn and another new day of snowmobile adventure.
