Jotka & Finnmark Plateau Snowmobile Experience

We start this tour from Sorrisniva, which is a 20-minute drive from the center of Alta. The trail we drive follows the old trading road in the direction of Karasjok.

The trip takes us over the winter mountains towards Jotka Fjellstue, one of the few buildings in the north that was not burned down during World War II. Here you will enjoy a traditional Sami meal before starting the return trip.
