"Opp Til Viddene" (English: "Up to the Mountain Plateaus") is a notable woodcut print by the Sámi-Norwegian artist John Andreas Savio (1902–1938). Created in 1933, this work exemplifies Savio's artistic focus on the culture and landscapes of the Sámi people, indigenous to the northern parts of Norway, Sweden, Finland, and the Kola Peninsula of Russia. The print depicts a figure, possibly a Sámi person, ascending towards the mountain plateaus, a region that holds significant cultural and economic importance for the Sámi, particularly for their traditional reindeer herding practices.

Savio's style is characterized by a stark contrast between light and dark, a technique that lends his images a dramatic and expressive quality. "Opp Til Viddene" is no exception, with its bold lines and clear composition reflecting the harshness and beauty of the Arctic environment. The work is also indicative of Savio's broader artistic narrative, which often portrays the interaction between humans and nature, as well as the resilience of the Sámi people in the face of modernization and cultural assimilation.

As one of the few Sámi artists of his time to gain recognition beyond his native region, Savio's work has been celebrated for its contribution to the understanding and appreciation of Sámi culture and identity. "Opp Til Viddene" is considered one of his most important pieces, encapsulating the essence of his artistic legacy. The print remains a subject of study for its cultural significance and is frequently exhibited as a representation of Sámi art and heritage.
