Frozen Lake Driving, SWEDEN
Airing Date: Mar 31st, 2007
Polished ice, a car and you as a driver! Together with an instructor you will experience the winter conditions that might appear on a winter road.
Arjeplog is a bit of a cold winter secret spot! In this unique Arctic winter area, vehicle testing is at its best. With three decades of testing activity behind them, the
Arjeplog Test Centre have worked with Rolls Royce, Mercedes, BMW, Opel, Fiat, Porsche, Hyundai, Ferrari, Bosch, Haldex, Mando, GKN and many of the world's other automotive giants.
But Arjeplog is also famous for its collective confidentiality. Perhaps this is why car manufacturers choose this out of the way place to test their newest car secrets, not to mention the harsh environment they have to face there!
In the region, other ice activities are also available. Safari in the middle of the winter? Yes, it is possible! Spend half a day on snowmobile through pinewoods and frozen lakes with a chance to see elks. Smis, reindeers, and enjoyable traditional cooking at
Btsuoj Smi centre.
Even more motors will be driven in
Rebackudden but this time on quads. Dinner and then a dip in the outdoor hot tub and a hot sauna, maybe the northern lights will make an appearance. Besides motors there is culture in Arjeplog, a visit to the
Silver museum is a must!
