With its vast snowy landscapes, frozen lakes, and dense Arctic forests, the region offers the perfect setting for an adrenaline-filled winter adventure.

Things to Know About a Snowmobile Safari

A snowmobile safari is one of the most exciting ways to discover the Arctic wilderness. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced driver, there are tours for every skill level. Before starting the safari, professional guides provide a safety briefing and instructions on how to operate the snowmobile.

During the safari, you’ll glide across frozen lakes, through snowy forests, and over scenic hills, experiencing the breathtaking beauty of Lapland. Some tours also include stops at traditional Lappish huts, where you can warm up by the fire and enjoy a hot drink.

Clients who are pregnant or have health issues (heart disease, diabetes, epilepsy, back or hip problems, etc.) should consult their doctors before participating.

Do You Need a Driver’s License to Ride a Snowmobile?

Yes, to drive a snowmobile in Finland, you must have a valid driver’s license (A1, T, A or B category) from your home country. However, if you don’t have a license, you can still participate as a passenger on a snowmobile or ride in a sleigh pulled by the guide’s snowmobile.

Is It Safe to Ride a Snowmobile?

Snowmobiling is generally safe when you follow the guide’s instructions and stay on marked trails. All participants receive safety equipment, helmets, and a full safety briefing before the tour begins. Professional guides ensure that the pace of the safari is suitable for all participants, making it a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone.

What Should You Wear for a Snowmobile Safari?

Proper winter clothing is essential for a comfortable and enjoyable snowmobile safari. It is recommended to wear:
● A thermal base layer
● A warm mid-layer (such as fleece or wool shirt)
● An insulated winter jacket and pants
● Thick socks and winter boots
● Gloves, a scarf, and a warm hat
The tour operators provide thermal overalls, boots, gloves, and helmets for additional warmth and protection.

What Are the Best Places in Rovaniemi for Snowmobiling?

Rovaniemi offers a variety of excellent snowmobiling tracks, from easy trails for beginners to more challenging terrains for experienced drivers. Some of the most popular snowmobiling locations include:
● Ounasvaara Hill: A great choice for short safaris, offering scenic views over Rovaniemi.
● Arctic Circle Wilderness: A peaceful area where you can explore snow-covered forests and frozen rivers.
● Frozen Lakes of Lapland: Ideal for those who want to experience the thrill of driving
across wide open spaces.

What Is the Best Time to Go on a Snowmobile Safari?

The snowmobiling season in Rovaniemi usually lasts from late November to early April, depending on snow conditions. The best time for a safari is between December and March when the snow is at its thickest, and the Arctic landscape is at its most beautiful.
For a unique experience, you can also join a night-time snowmobile safari, where you may have the chance to see the Northern Lights while driving under the starry sky.

Is Snowmobiling Suitable for Families with Children?

Yes! Many snowmobile safaris are family-friendly, with specially designed routes and speeds to ensure a safe and enjoyable ride for children. Children (until 14 years old) have to ride in a sleigh pulled by the guide’s snowmobile, wrapped in warm blankets for comfort. For safety reasons, one of the parents has to ride in the sleigh with children under 10 years old. Some tours also include fun activities such as campfires, storytelling, and traditional Lappish snacks.

Why Should You Book a Guided Snowmobile Tour?

Exploring the Arctic on a snowmobile is an incredible experience, but driving alone can be challenging, especially if you’re unfamiliar with the terrain. A guided tour ensures:
● Safe and well-planned routes
● Assistance in case of emergencies
● Knowledgeable guides who can share interesting facts about Lapland’s nature and wildlife
● The opportunity to enjoy the ride without worrying about navigation
Booking a snowmobile safari with a professional guide allows you to fully immerse yourself in the adventure while staying safe and making the most of your time in Lapland.

A snowmobile safari is a must-do activity for adventure seekers visiting Rovaniemi. Whether you’re looking for an adrenaline-fuelled adventure, scenic landscapes, or a magical Northern Lights experience, this thrilling winter activity will leave you with unforgettable memories.
