Getting started

Begin your journey with convenient transfers from Rovaniemi City Center. Meet your guide at the Snowmobile Park City Office or Safari House, check in with your booking voucher, and show your driver’s license if you plan to drive. Once ready, suit up in warm overalls, boots, gloves, a helmet, and a balaclava, then receive a safety briefing before heading into the snowy wilderness.

Snowmobiling through the Arctic

Feel the thrill of speed as you ride a shared two-person snowmobile for a full hour. Glide across frozen forests and wide-open trails, stopping briefly for photo opportunities and driver swaps. For families and non-drivers, a sledge option is available so everyone can enjoy the ride.

Meeting the reindeer

Visit a traditional reindeer farm and experience the calm beauty of Lapland’s iconic animals. Climb into a sleigh for a 500m ride pulled gently through the snow, and receive a reindeer driving license as a fun keepsake. Learn about reindeer herding practices and the close bond locals share with these Arctic animals.

Husky encounters

At an Alaskan husky farm, meet the energetic dogs whose excitement is contagious. After introductions, set off on a 500m husky-pulled sleigh ride with up to four guests per sled. Feel their strength as they dash through the landscape, and take time to interact with them afterward.

Warming up

Between adventures, enjoy hot berry juice and biscuits served outdoors, a simple but comforting way to warm your hands and recharge before continuing.

What to bring

A valid driver’s license (class B) is required to operate a snowmobile. The license must be original, valid, and recognizable in English. Photocopies, provisional licenses, or photos on a phone are not accepted.

Please bring your tour voucher or booking confirmation, which may be requested at check-in.

Wear warm base layers such as thermals, fleece, or wool, plus thick socks, gloves, and a hat. Winter overalls, boots, and gloves are provided on site.

Bring protective cases for your camera gear and keep it inside your jacket when not in use to prevent battery drain and condensation issues.

Sunglasses and lip balm can make a big difference in the bright snow and dry Arctic air.

Any personal medications you may need during this 6-hour outdoor program should be carried with you.

What’s not allowed

Alcohol consumption or joining the tour under the influence is strictly prohibited for safety reasons.

Guests without a valid driver’s license cannot drive a snowmobile. In such cases, they can ride as a passenger on a snowmobile or sit in a sledge, but no refund will be issued if they arrive unprepared.

Large luggage and bulky bags are not permitted, as there is no storage space during transfers or activities.

Smoking is not permitted inside vehicles, during activities, or near the animals.

Accessibility

This tour is not wheelchair accessible, as it requires walking on snowy terrain, boarding sleighs, and riding snowmobiles.

Children under 2 years old are not recommended to join for safety reasons.

Children aged 1 to 13 can ride in a sledge pulled by the guide’s snowmobile. For safety, parents are advised to sit with younger children in the sledge.

Children taller than 140 cm may ride as a snowmobile passenger at full adult price, subject to availability.

Infant seats are available upon request for transfers.
