Scandinavian Road Trip

[Feyim]

Having done several European road trips even further down to Turkey now time to make it to Scandinavia.
We will depart just before Christmas.
It will be 20 days road trip and we will be visiting Gothenburg, Oslo, Tromso, Nordkap (Northest point) and Helsinki.On the way back we may visit also Tallin and Berlin.

Anyone ever experienced Scandinavian Road Trip in winter? Any recommendations for winter driving there?
I know we will be facing minus 20 celcius at some point. I have just fitted Nokian WR D4 s and purchased the G13 Coolant with extra bottle de-ionised water, snow chains and warm blankets just in case

I will be updating you guys with spectacular pictures along the route.

Great pics, @Feyim!

Looks like a good trip. Did you need the chains at all?

Yeah it is awesome.No need chains.Nokians better than i expected.we were cruising at 60 - 70 mph most of the time on thick ice.Grip is spectacular even at -29 celcius.
I have driven on pirelli sottozeros and bridgestone blizzaks but by far the best is Nokians clearly.

Very impressive. Not sure I’d want to break down in the middle of that lot though.

Do please post further pics as your drive is very picturesque. I’m trying to pluck up courage to drive my wife’s A3 cabrio to the south of France next summer, but with driving on the right with a RHD car and...and...and....

****** brilliant !!!! I am so jealous as the wife hates being in the car for more than 7 minutes and starts moaning when it's less than 17 C so road trip is out.
Thank you for sharing. I bet the memories stay with you forever.
I had the D4s on the M135i and they are brilliant indeed.

I am sure she will love it even at minus 30 Just make sure you take extra leggings and proper jackets .
Worth to see hundreds of reindeers, pack of wolves, wild foxes, rabbits and moose in Lappland.
