Snowmobiling

Snowmobiling is an unmissable experience when visiting the Lappish wilderness on holiday, Europe’s last wilderness. This intensely beautiful landscape of frozen lakes and snow-bound forests feels like it was made for exploring by snowmobile. Developed in the 1930s, snowmobiles have changed people’s lifestyles here, and for the better. Snowmobiling quickly became an important mode of keeping communities connected. Once left isolated for weeks or months on end, smaller communities and reindeer herders can remain connected throughout the harsh winter months.

For visitors to the area, travelling by snowmobiles is a great thrill. Snowmobiles offer the chance to explore deeper into the wilderness. Our Arctic Spirit collection offers introductory trips and multi-day safaris in addition to evening snowmobiling tours - to hopefully catch a glimpse of the beguiling Northern Lights. This Arctic adventure is also included on many of our tours to visit Santa in True Lapland.

So, what should you expect from this Arctic adventure? You’ll be partnered up, one driver and one passenger per snowmobile with the chance to swap over during the tour. You’ll travel through what seems like an endless landscape of untouched snow, punctuated by ice-dusted lakes, pine forests and herds of wild reindeer. Be warned, snowmobiles are fast - this is an adrenaline-pumping ride and it will be spine-tinglingly cold. Ensure you wrap up warm.
