Would you like to take part in an adventure to observe the Northern Lights from Rovaniemi, but are you accompanied by young children who need to have fun instead of staying in a closed vehicle all evening? Then look no further! This outing is just what you need, offering the chance to chase the Northern Lights in a sleigh pulled by a snowmobile, through a reindeer farm and a snowy forest. What better way to interest children, who will love meeting the reindeer and gliding across the snow behind a snowmobile? All that is left is to hope that you are lucky and that the Northern Lights appear in the starry sky during your nighttime ride!
As well as marvelling at Santa's faithful companions, young and old alike will be fascinated by the peaceful atmosphere of the forest at night. You will be illuminated only by the lights of the snowmobile and by the light of the moon if the weather is fine. Far from any light pollution, the view of the starry sky is breathtaking! You will have the pleasure of enjoying it all along the 6-km route in your sleigh, while listening to your guide share his knowledge of the local flora and fauna, the culture and traditions of the region, and the mythical Northern Lights. You will also have a bite to eat in a Lappish log cabin, so there is something for everyone on this adventure!
With a small group of no more than 8 participants and a fun-filled programme, this Northern Lights hunt on a snowmobile-towed sleigh departing from Rovaniemi is sure to create lasting memories of Finnish Lapland. What's more, the transfer is included from your hotel in the Lapland capital!
