EVENTS ON THE ROUTE

On the way through wintry 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.

Where and what exactly happens on the route remains our secret until the start...you'll find out in the Roadbook!

Roadbook

This rally is not about speed. You have the chance to dive even deeper into the adventure by completing tasks in your roadbook.

At the start of the rally, your team will receive the roadbook, packed with great stage suggestions, extraordinary tasks, fun & lots of adventure. You will also find all the information about the meet & greet points and the official SAC rally events on the route in the roadbook.
The tasks and adventures have to be solved in the best possible way with your team until the finish line. Creativity and a talent for improvisation are the key.
However, the roadbook tasks are not compulsory! Always according to the motto: Everything possible, nothing required!

The winner of the Viking Snow Roadbook Competition wins a starting spot for another SAC rally of their choice.
