About this adventure

Through snow covered forests we make our way up to the expansive mountain plains. Here you can embrace the true arctic wilderness, surrounded by only snow and the sky in all directions. When reaching what feels like the top of the world we will drive towards the fishing spot, here you can listen to the arctic nature and experience silence like you only will in the wild. All while you test your patience waiting for the fish to bite.

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 and if we are lucky we might get a taste of a arctic delicacy, a trout or char.
