Finnmark Plateau Adventure Snowtrain Journey

After a welcome to the mountain lodge, we gather inside the traditional Sámi lavvu for an introduction to our history and the postal route that has been vital to this region since the 18th century. You'll then be fitted with all the gear you need — suit, helmet, mittens, boots, and balaclava — before stepping out into the Arctic. From there, the journey continues aboard our specially built snowtrain: a safe and comfortable ride through varied Arctic landscapes. We travel at a leisurely pace up through birch forest, past the treeline and on toward the high plateau. The landscape opens gradually, and suddenly you find yourself standing in what feels like an endless expanse — the mighty Finnmark Plateau. Out here, far from towns and noise, you truly feel the elements. The light, the silence, and the weather create an experience that is different every single day. Your guide shares stories of the natural environment, life on the plateau, and how people have lived in this landscape across generations. Eventually we make our way back to Gargia, where a warm and atmospheric ending awaits inside our traditional lavvu.
