The Experience

You pick up your snowmobile in the morning and spend the day riding it yourself through Lapland's hidden forest trails. The operator provides everything: winter overalls, boots, gloves, balaclava and helmet so you arrive ready to ride. A guide leads the group on the route, showing you the landscape and stopping at spots most visitors never reach. The ride runs approximately 4–5 hours depending on snow and trail conditions, with the full day structured around hotel pickup and drop-off from Rovaniemi city center.

Midway through the ride, you stop for a campfire BBQ: grilled chicken breast, sweet potato, Lappish bread, marshmallows and hot blueberry juice (vegetarian and vegan options available on request). The guide speaks English; French, Italian, Spanish and Chinese are available on request. Departure times vary by day, so the operator emails the exact pickup window once you book—arrive at your hotel lobby 10 minutes early. You'll need to bring a valid driving license (or a copy) and provide a reachable phone number when you reserve.

The minimum group size is two people on weekdays and Saturdays, four on Sundays and public holidays. Children under 12 ride in a sledge towed behind a guide's snowmobile; children taller than 150 cm can ride on a machine at adult price if an adult pays full fare for the seat. Drivers must be at least 18 with a valid license; the tour is not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries, pregnancy, or poor cardiovascular health.
