To begin the snowmobiling adventure, you’ll receive a safety briefing and driving instructions. Each snowmobile will be shared between two, with one driver and one passenger and the chance to switch during the tour. Beginners and families are welcome, children will sit in a sled pulled by the guide’s snowmobile. After receiving your Arctic gear, the adventure begins!
You’ll set off into the snowy winter wonderland, making your way to the local reindeer farm. Following the guide through the forest, you will pass varied landscapes along the way and fully immerse yourself in the Arctic nature. There will be opportunities to stop and capture photos, as well as switch drivers if you wish. Soon, you’ll arrive at the farm!
At the farm, you will meet the adorable reindeer, who are also known as Santa’s flying friends! There will be time to feed and interact with the reindeer, before getting set up in a large sleigh. The reindeer will pull your sleigh on a short ride around the farm, a fun experience for the whole family! Afterwards, there will be hot drinks served around a fire inside a wooden hut, while the guide shares insights about life in Lapland. You will then say goodbye to the reindeer and return to Rovaniemi.
