On this trip you will sit comfortable and warm in the sledge and just enjoy the winter landscape and hopefully the Northern lights. Start by minibus and guide in Kirkenes, 20 minute drive to our base “Solvang Gård” in Pasvik valley. Guiding on our way + stop at viewpoint “Storfjell”. Pasvik valley is a fascinating wilderness area and the border to Russia. The trip is both a nice nature experience and provides information about the interesting history in this border area. On our base we start our sledge trip (snowmobile) out on the ice of the Pasvik river. Experience the cold and dark climate while hunting for the Northern lights along the Russian border. After the trip we serve coffee/tea in our cosy hut. Transfer back to Kirkenes.
We cannot guarantee a sighting of the Northern Lights – this relies on weather conditions.
