    Norway's roughest snowmobile experiences

    Norway's roughest snowmobile experiences

    Femund Engerdal is scooter culture, outdoor life and inclusion. Everyone can get out into the wilderness and up the peaks with a snowmobile. 

    It has been a long battle to get 250 km of snowmobile trails in place, and therefore the trails are the scooter club's great pride. Here, nothing is left to chance, the zealots put in a lot of effort to ensure that everything is in perfect condition. The trails run in the high mountains with fantastic views, over large expanses, on ice-covered waters and lakes, in warm mountain forests and in steep, challenging slopes. On the snowmobile trails, everyone is welcome to enjoy the freedom, even those who prefer to ski, dog sled or just take a stroll.
