Family Snowmobile Ride in Rovaniemi

Family Snowmobile Ride

Enjoy a family snowmobile safari designed for families who want to experience the Arctic together in a small group, with professional guides and a personal approach.

We keep our groups small, with a maximum of 8 guests, allowing our guides to focus on your family and adapt the pace to the children. There is time to get comfortable, ask questions and enjoy the experience together.

Once everyone is ready, ride through snowy Arctic forests and open winter landscapes for approximately 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes, depending on the group’s pace and driving skills. Along the way, stop to take photographs and enjoy the scenery.

We don’t rush from one stop to the next. Our guides can adapt the route and pace to the group, and when conditions and the schedule allow, we can spend a little longer on the trails.

Before the Ride

At our office in Rovaniemi, we’ll lend you the winter equipment needed for the safari: thermal overalls, winter boots, gloves, a balaclava and a helmet. We’ll help you find the right sizes before heading to the snowmobile base.

No previous snowmobile experience is required. Before setting off, your guide will explain how to drive the snowmobile and provide a full safety briefing.

On the Trail

• Riding time: approximately 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes, depending on conditions and the group’s pace.
