The experience

You meet at the Safari Office in Santa Claus Village 30 minutes before departure. After a safety briefing and a walk of about 200 meters to the snowmobiles, your guide gives detailed driving instructions before the hour-long ride begins. The route winds through snowy forests and is tailored to your group's comfort level, making it suitable for families and first-time riders. Two adults share one snowmobile unless you book single driving as a supplement.

Halfway through, you stop for photos and to switch drivers if you're in a pair. Children aged 2–13 stay in a heated sled behind the guide's machine the whole time. A parent can sit with younger children for safety. Kids over 140 cm tall can ride as a snowmobile passenger at full adult price, subject to availability. Everyone gets winter overalls, boots, gloves, a balaclava and a helmet. The gear is included, so you just show up dressed underneath.

A valid, physical driving license is required to operate a snowmobile. Pictures and provisional licenses don't count. The operator holds you responsible for any damage to the vehicle, with a self-liability of €950 per person per snowmobile in case of accident. You can buy additional insurance on site for €15, which reduces your liability to €150. It must be purchased before the tour starts. Public transport stops are nearby if you're arriving without a car.
