Are you ready for an out-of-the-ordinary adventure departing from Rovaniemi? Between encounters with reindeer, Lapland's emblematic animals, a nighttime ride in the open air at the controls of a unique machine and the chance to see the Northern Lights, there is a lot to look forward to on this unique experience! The Snowtrail Safaris team invites you to ride what they call the Electric Reindeer, an amazing combination of scooter and snowmobile with a snow tyre at the front and a track at the back. Not only is this machine environmentally friendly thanks to its electric motor, but it is also very easy to handle, and can be ridden by 15-year-olds without a driving licence. And what about the youngsters? They can take part in this outing in complete safety in a sleigh pulled by the guide's snowmobile!
This nighttime snow scooter tour, including a visit to a reindeer farm, departs from Rovaniemi and immerses you in the heart of the Lapland forest for about 2 hours (40 to 60 minutes of actual driving time), with only the headlights on your snow scooter and, if the weather is fine, the moon. Prepare to be immersed in the most tranquil and fascinating atmosphere! You will meet the farm's reindeer and, if you are lucky, other wild animals from the region that aren't so shy at night (foxes, elk, etc.). A typical log cabin will be waiting for you along the way, where you can warm up and enjoy a snack with a glass of glögi, a famous local drink. At your side throughout the experience, your guide will share a wealth of information about Lappish flora and fauna, the region's culture and traditions, not forgetting the mythical Northern Lights. Maybe you will be lucky enough to see them tonight!
This fun Northern Lights hunt on a snow scooter from Rovaniemi is an incredible adventure off the beaten track, in the heart of nature, which takes on a whole new dimension at night. In a small group of no more than 8 participants, you are sure to have an unforgettable time on this friendly and original activity!
