“Just back from our Husky powered sled ride in Alta with Stengelsen Husky. What a truly fantastic experience, which completed exceeded our expectations!

Review of Alta’s 5-hour Finnmarksvidda snowmobile safari, with costs, gear, driving rules, route details, weather advice, and booking tips.
“The 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.
