Leave the large safari groups behind and ride into the Arctic night on a snowmobile adventure limited to just 6 guests.
After a safety briefing and driving instructions, we set off from Saariselkä through snowy forests and open landscapes. With our small group, there's time to stop, enjoy the silence and, if the Northern Lights appear, switch off the engines and watch the sky. We'll take photos of you along the way as a memory of your experience.
Feel the crisp Arctic air as we ride quiet trails through the winter darkness—a unique way to discover Lapland.
Along the way, we'll stop at peaceful spots for a hot drink and traditional homemade cake, learn about the Northern Lights and share stories before continuing our journey.
Whether the Auroras dance above us or nature has other plans, you'll return having explored the Arctic night the Finnish winter way—by snowmobile. Now that's a story to share!
Endless Arctic wilderness and a more personal way to experience Lapland after dark.
