What to expect?
Snowmobiling is a way of life here in Lapland — used for work, for travel, and for exploring landscapes that no road will ever reach. On this guided snowmobile safari near Ylläs, you get a real taste of that Arctic freedom, led by locals who have been riding these trails for years.
After a thorough safety and driving session on our own training track, the group heads out into the wild: across frozen lakes, through snow-laden birch and pine forests, over open marshlands where the horizon stretches further than you'd believe. At the halfway stop, warm up with a hot drink and biscuits while your guide shares stories of Lappish life and what these snowmobiles really mean to people who live this far north.
Great for beginners starting from 13 years old. Small-group departures, maximum 10 adults. Single-drive upgrade available.

Travel notice
The safari includes third-party and comprehensive insurance with a maximum self-liability of € 990 in case of an accident. Please be aware that snowmobiling carries similar risks to driving any motor vehicle, and accidents may result in injury. The driver is responsible for any damage caused to the snowmobile.
Two people typically share a snowmobile, with the option to switch drivers halfway through the tour. For exclusive use of a snowmobile, a single driving supplement is not available on this tour. We recommend to book our Snowmobile Adventures for Adults -tour for single drivers.
Children ride in a sledge during the safari. Children starting from 13 years old ride as passengers on a snowmobile and pay full adult price.
Children under 13 years old sit in the sled pulled by the guide's snowmobile. If a child under 13 years old is taller than 140cm, the child may sit as a a passenger on the snowmobile if seats are available, subject to the guide’s final safety decision. In that case, an adult price will be charged abd the price difference must be paid at the office before departure.
