This tour takes place in Rovaniemi, the capital city of Lapland in northern Finland. This area is characterised by vast, untouched landscapes and snowy forests. Snowmobiling is the perfect activity to discover Lapland's unique nature off the beaten track.

The day begins by meeting your guide in Rovaniemi (pickups are available from specified locations upon booking), who will transfer you to the starting point.

This excursion is suited for beginners and families, the children will sit in a sled pulled by the guide's snowmobile. Each snowmobile will be shared between two, with one passenger and one driver and the opportunity to switch midway. When you are set up with your gear, the snowmobiling adventure begins!

Under the instruction of the guide, you will venture into the woodlands near Rovaniemi to catch its splendid nature just as the sun is peaking out over the snowy meadows. You will learn how to master this eSled by driving on the frozen lake and through the wintry forests. The state-of-the-art electric snowmobiles not only allow you to travel through the rugged Arctic wilderness but actually become one with the surrounding nature. Glide noiselessly through the immaculate snow, and discover the untouched Lappish nature along exclusive routes through the forests.

Midway through, you will stop for a break inside a cosy wooden Kota (a Finnish hut). Together with the guide, you will grill some sausages over an open fire and enjoy a delicious meal of sausages, flat bread, pastries and hot drinks in front of the view of glistening snow. There will also be ample opportunities to capture some photos to keep as a memory forever throughout the tour! After you have mastered the snowmobile techniques, you will return to Rovaniemi.

Electric snowmobiling is an exciting innovation for sustainable sports and travel. Hop on and experience a rare taste of the future of Arctic adrenaline sports, surrounded by the ancient Finnish woodlands. Book your unforgettable adventure in Rovaniemi now!

Nous étions privilégiés, n'étant qu'un couple avec notre guide Martin. Excursion réalisée à Sonka, environ 30 km de Rovaniemi. 2 mi-temps entrecoupés d'une pause dégustation au feu de bois dans un kota de Safartica. Le temps d'activité était bien évalué pour les 2 non-initiés que nous étions. Nous recommandons à 100%.

Très belle activité complète avec de beaux paysages en forêt et sur un lac gelé.il aurait manqué un petit moment de vitesse sur le lac où le guide aurait pu demander qui souhaitait aller un peu plus vite et faire quelques minutes de liberté de conduite sur le lac avec plus de vitesse. Moment de pause autour du feu très sympa.
