Snowmobiling in Lapland

Snowmobile rides in Lapland, through snow-covered forests, frozen lakes, and remote tundra landscapes, offer breathtaking viewpoints, hidden wilderness spots, and even the chance to see the Northern Lights at night. These safaris are available in Rovaniemi, Levi, Ylläs, Saariselkä, and Inari and can be booked through your stay, a local operator or online.

Tours range from short beginner-friendly rides to full-day expeditions, with options to visit reindeer farms, husky kennels, or ice fishing spots along the way. Most tours include a safety briefing and all necessary gear, such as thermal suits, helmets, and gloves, making it accessible even for first-time riders. Guided snowmobile tours provide a structured experience, often covering 20 to 100 km depending on the duration. Some tours focus on speed and adventure, while others emphasize scenic exploration and wildlife spotting. For a truly magical experience, evening snowmobile safaris offer the chance to chase the Northern Lights far from light pollution. Self-driving is allowed with a valid driver’s license, and passengers can ride on the back of a snowmobile. For those who prefer independence, self-guided rentals are available in many locations, but experience is recommended for handling Arctic terrain.
