amazing experience to ride snowmobile with the guide Levi, who was so kind and took me for an expedition! A powerful and confortable snowmobile and lovely scene. Was lucky to go alone with the guide, so it could happen :)

Die beiden Guides waren immer auf unsere Sicherheit bedacht. Zuerst fuhren wir ca. 5 Minuten mit dem Bus zu den Schneemobilen, sodass wir in eine einsame und verlassene Landschaft eintauchen konnten - top! Insgesamt dauerte die Aktivität ca. 4 Stunden, wobei ca. 2 Stunden Fahrtzeit mit dem Schneemobil waren.

Going on a motorsled is good fun and the impact to the environment is due to the smartly chosen track minimal. Lovely scenery. The participants take turns at the steering. We had 2 participants that got stuck and drove into trees constantly, so the whole group had to stop and wait for them.

Des vues à couper le souffle. Des motoneiges bien entretenues et un parcours parfait pour de bonnes sensations.

Superbe activité, notre moniteur était très sympa, les paysages sont magnifiques ! Au retour, arrêt dans une chaleureuse auberge pour y manger une bonne soupe de poisson et boissons chaudes ! Parfait pour se réchauffer !
