In a surprising incident in Leveldåsen, Ål, Norway, a car driven by a foreign man in his 30s made its way onto a ski trail, causing alarm among skiers. The driver, apparently following GPS directions to a cabin, navigated approximately three kilometers on the trail before getting stuck. Eyewitnesses reported that the driver had some speed, resulting in skiers hastily moving out of the way as the car approached.

Reports suggest that this is not an isolated incident, as similar occurrences have been documented earlier this year, including one in Træruddalen. The operation leader, Espen Reite, confirmed the event, noting that the car crossed the road multiple times before continuing along the ski route. Witnesses were astonished by the sight, remarking that such a thing had never been seen before in the area.

Following the incident, the driver reportedly called for a tow truck himself, and police were able to make contact with him at the scene. The unusual event highlights the potential dangers of relying solely on GPS navigation in rural or recreational areas, particularly where access may not be suitable for vehicles. Such incidents raise concerns regarding safety protocols for both motorists and outdoor enthusiasts in these regions.
