The Arctic SnowHotel is one of the must-to-see when visiting Rovaniemi. Enjoy a long snowmobile safari along various tracks and tour around the Arctic hotel where we learn about the construction of the icy masterpiece. Delicious lunch of glow-fried salmon is served in a warm wooden Kota tepee. We finish the day by snowmobiling back to city knowing that this journey leaves you with many memorable impressions.

Full Day Snowmobile Ride to Snowhotel

Why We choose this partner and Activity

We love this safari because it brings together a long snowmobile ride, a guided SnowHotel visit and glow-fried salmon cooked by the fire. The warm lunch stop gives you time to relax and recharge before the ride back. For us, it’s one of the best combinations of riding, sightseeing and food in Rovaniemi.

The trade-off is the group size: this partner does not limit departures to eight guests, and the safari welcomes families with older children as well as adults. You may therefore join a larger, mixed-age group. It costs more than a short safari, but we feel the longer ride and the experiences along the way make it well worth considering.

Snowmobile Ride to SnowHotel

Travel through the winter landscapes of Finnish Lapland on a snowmobile safari to Arctic SnowHotel. Follow varied trails around Rovaniemi, combining a longer ride with a guided visit to a hotel built from snow and ice.

At the SnowHotel, explore the icy interiors and learn how the building is constructed. Afterwards, enjoy a two-course lunch featuring glow-fried salmon in a warm wooden kota. Relax and warm up before returning to your snowmobile for the journey back.

Allow approximately 6 hours for the full experience, including around 3-4 hours of snowmobile driving, the guided SnowHotel visit and lunch. The safari is suitable for adults and families with older children who meet the passenger requirements.

Before the Ride

You’ll be lent thermal overalls, winter boots, woollen socks, a woollen scarf, a beanie and gloves. Before departure, your guide will provide snowmobile driving instructions.

Your meeting time is before the advertised safari starting time, allowing time to get dressed and prepare. The safari begins once the group is ready.
