We spent the past few days in beautiful Bodø and booked an excursion with Rampen Adventure Hun, led by Vegard — highly recommended! After a scenic 1.5-hour drive to Sulitjelma, we enjoyed a fantastic combined excursion. First, our family of four (with two children aged 10 and 14) explored the stunning winter landscape on snowmobiles for about 90 minutes. The equipment provided was practically brand new and in perfect condition. Following a thorough safety briefing and training session, we felt confident and well-prepared as we set off — even riding across a frozen lake, which was an incredible experience. After the snowmobile tour, we enjoyed a magical husky sled ride. What an unforgettable adventure! During both activities, we received the guides’ full attention, which made the experience even more special. We also had a few additional requests, and Aurora went above and beyond to create a perfectly customized program for us — truly, everything was possible. Thank you for an unforgettable day!
