Lodgings

From a winter bivouac on a glacier to a log cabin with a beaver to a luxury hotel & champagne, anything is allowed! Depending on your sense of adventure and budget, you are free to decide what suits you best on each stage.

The spontaneous search for suitable accommodation on the respective stage is usually no problem during the rally period. 

There are also hotel recommendations on special stages.


5/16
The Roadway

The road conditions during the rally could not be more varied:

From dry asphalt roads at plus 5 degrees,
to gravel paths with a thick layer of snow at minus 20 degrees,
through icy pothole parkours at 0 degrees.

Everything is possible & there is something for every taste!


6/16
the right tires

Just as with any adventure rally—but especially in winter—choosing the right tires is a science unto itself.

Really good winter tires are an absolute must!

Whether you’re allowed to use spiked/studded tires depends on each country’s road regulations. If you want to cruise with spikes, you should wait until Scandinavia to put them on, as they are generally forbidden in Germany.


7/16
START EVENT

In January the rally starts in Hamburg. The event begins around 10am and the official start takes place between 11 and 12am. 

On the evenings prior, all adventurers can already get to know each other at the pre-adventure-get-together and get in the mood for the upcoming adventures. The event will start around 6pm.

Of course, all friends and fans are welcome.


8/16
The ROADBOOK

At the start of the Viking Snow Rally in Hamburg, the Roadbook will be handed over to your team, packed with great stage suggestions, incredible challenges, fun & adventure.

The tasks and adventures have to be solved in the best possible way with your team until you reach the finish line. Creativity and talent for improvisation are key.
The roadbook tasks are not compulsory!


9/16
EVENTS ON THE ROUTE

On the way through Scandinavia, we celebrate awesome rally events with you.

From ice drift action on a frozen lake to winter bivouac party in the snowy forests with campfire, saunas and hot tub, everything is included.
