Located in northeastern Norway, Kirkenes is known for its stunning mountainous landscapes and Arctic wilderness, as well as being one of the best places in the world to view the breathtaking natural phenomenon of the Northern Lights. Snowmobiling outside of Kirkenes' city limits may be one of the most fun ways to experience the dancing Aurora Borealis!
Your amazing snowmobiling adventure in Kirkenes begins after being picked up from the Thon or Scandic Hotels in the city (please specify when booking). After a 15-minute drive to the Snowhotel, you and your group will put on your winter gear, including thermal overalls, mittens, balaclavas, and boots. Then, you'll meet your experienced guide who will give you a thorough safety briefing in addition to a short introduction to snowmobiling. With your helmet on, the fun starts! With 2 passengers per snowmobile (one driver, one passenger), you'll set off into the wilderness towards Pasvik Valley in search of the Northern Lights.
As you snowmobile through Kirkenes' countryside, you will make several stops to take the perfect photo of this wonderful natural phenomenon. In addition, you'll be treated to warm juice and a snack, as you relax and enjoy the tranquil winter evening and the majesty of the Northern Lights (if they appear). Adults in possession of a valid driver's license can also switch and take turns driving the snowmobile. Finally, you'll head back to the Snowhotel, returning to Kirkenes with lifelong memories of Scandinavia.
