You follow the old postal road across Finnmarksvidda, Europe's largest mountain plateau. For generations it was the lifeline between Alta and Karasjok. The tour starts at the 150-year-old Gargia Lodge and climbs through snow-covered forest towards the Beskades mountains. There the landscape opens up and you ride out onto the plateau. Along the way we stop, and your guide tells the story of the postmen who skied between the settlements in all weathers. We ride two to a snowmobile and take turns driving, unless otherwise agreed. The tour ends back at Gargia Lodge. Good to know Season: November to April. The driver needs a valid car driving licence.

The team is so helpful and they really take care to make it a good stay, very personal and considering. Like visiting friends y...

Vahva suositus paikalle ihan jo pelkästään henkilökunnan ystävällisyyden vuoksi.
Идеально! Место просто великолепное. Дом под горой. Тишина. Кухня прекрасна. Каждый день новое меню, но необольщайтесь гурманы, готовится одно блюдо и подаётся всем. Цена для Норвегии не кусается. Персонал приветливый. По возможности помогут. Самое главное в номере нет телевизора!
Great place, we come back again
