Snowmobile Drag Race on Kautokeino River

by gardesque

A major event is the mid-August Autumn Festival. Not quite as big as the Easter Festival, but it does feature something as dramatic as snow scooter racing on the river. Since snow scooters are rather heavy (built to run on snow, not on water), they must have good speed unless they wish to sink. And the river has many turns. This event has also found its way to the Guinness Book of World Records.

2005 event takes place August 26-27, and concerts will be outdoor at Buletjavre.

Address: All over town and on the river
Directions: Concerts at Civic Centre, Alfred's and Buletjavre, drag race on the river.

Review Helpfulness: 2.5 out of 5 stars
