Snowcoach adventure in norway
This is one for the bucketlist! Visit the magic, unavailable Eidsbugarden midwinter with the nostalgic snowcoaches. The popular snowcoaches connect the people living in adventurous Eidsbugarden with the civilization, and this is the only way to get this far into the winter snow covered mountains of Norway.

Snowcoach to Eidsbugarden
Jotunheimen, home of the giants, is a mystical region with many stories about beings that guide our fortunes. Trolls, huldras and giants live here with the highest mountains in Norway. And in winter, when the snow and cold make Jotunheimen to an uninhabitable area, there are still people who hold out.
Now you can be a part of this tough adventure!
