The easy-to-handle vehicles are suitable for all skill levels, from beginners to experienced riders.
Each snowmobile can be shared between two participants, with one driver and one passenger, or ridden as a solo driver. Children will ride in a covered sled pulled by the guide's snowmobile.

The snowmobiles are equipped with heated grips, heated seats, and powerful headlights to ensure your comfort and safety throughout the ride.
