Snowmobile Tour
An unforgettable snowmobile drive through the Arctic wilderness for 32 kilometers!
Embark on an thrilling adventure for 32 kms and drive a snowmobile through the stunning winter landscapes of Northern Sweden!
About this tour
You will gear up in warm overalls, gloves, snow boots and hats, to make sure that the freezing temperatures are just another part of your winter adventure. The experience will begin with some careful introduction, where we will teach you how to use the snowmobile. Accompanied by a guide, you will start with some practice laps around a frozen lake, only to soon drive through snow-capped birch forests and the majestic frozen swamps of Lapland.
If you choose to share a snowmobile with another person, you will now change the driver and continue back as a passenger, taking a bit of a different path. If you choose a self-driven option, you will then continue on your own. From time to time you’ll be able to speed up a little and feel the thrill of the ride. Keep an eye out for local wildlife, such as reindeer and moose, as we may see them on the way!
