over the hill Niva Location: Gimli Ridge Route Map

over the hill / Windows PC / Windows PC launch release (October 2026)

In over the hill, the launch community route for the Niva-like vehicle is in Gimli Ridge, on the trail identified as Elvis Ridge. Use the marked route beside the eastern lake in the map below. “Niva” is a player nickname for an unlicensed lookalike, so do not expect it to appear as an official Lada model name in every menu.
Gimli Ridge in-game map, with the Russian Elvis Ridge route label and its circular marker immediately west of an eastern lake.
The map label reads “МАРШРУТ: ГРЕБЕНЬ ЭЛВИСА” (Route: Elvis Ridge). Use the lake, nearby cabin icon and marked trail together. Tap the map to open the full image.
  1. Open the map in Gimli Ridge. If you are in another area, match the area name before following this image.
  2. Find the lake near the eastern side of the explored region shown above. The highlighted circular trail marker lies immediately to its west, with a cabin icon beside it.
  3. Select or inspect the route around that marker. In the pictured Russian interface, the label is МАРШРУТ: ГРЕБЕНЬ ЭЛВИСА; the useful landmark is Elvis Ridge, not an arbitrary question-mark icon elsewhere on the map.
  4. Approach through the visible dotted trail network and prepare for the challenge. Use the nearby discovered cabin as a return reference; the image does not establish a safe shortcut across the hills.
  5. Complete the relevant route objectives with your own vehicle and check your garage for the reward. In co-op, every driver needs their own checkpoint completion.

Bring a recovery plan for a tipped or stranded car. A player follow-up reports reaching this vehicle with the starting car and no upgrades, but describes it as difficult. That is evidence that a heavily upgraded vehicle may not be mandatory, not a guarantee that the route is easy in current weather.

If you run out of grip or repeatedly roll, return to the cabin, inspect your equipment and try a slower line. Purchased upgrades apply to the car you bought them for; unlocking another vehicle does not transfer those upgrades to it.

The screenshot uses a Russian-language interface and shows only part of the map already explored. Localised spelling, discovery state and fog can therefore differ from your view. Match Gimli Ridge, the lake and the challenge marker together; this guide does not assign invented coordinates or identify every unexplored question mark as the vehicle.

The route identification is based on a launch player map and a follow-up reporting success. If the route reward differs in your build, check the current objective/reward text before repeating it. A community map does not establish drop odds or a universal random reward order.

No fixed Bronco location is established by this map. Launch discussion connects car unlocks with challenge trails, but a reply that rewards are “random” is not enough to publish a probability table or promise a Bronco after a specific number of runs. This page answers the Gimli Ridge/Niva-like route only.

For getting back safely, use the winch and anchor recovery guide. If a friend’s garage updates and yours does not, review individual co-op progress.
