Saariselkä: Premium Northern Lights Snowmobile Tour

3 hours

Moderate

Leave the large safari groups behind and come ride into the Arctic night with us on a premium snowmobile experience - limited to just 6 guests.

After a careful safety briefing and driving instructions, we start riding into the snowy forests and open landscapes around Saariselkä. With only six guests, there's no need to rush. We can stop when something catches our eye, enjoy the silence and, if the Northern Lights appear, simply switch off the engines and watch the sky. We'll capture photos of you along the way and help you get the best shots with your own phone or camera too.

Riding through the winter darkness is an experience of its own—the crisp Arctic air, snowy trails and silence of the wilderness bring a completely different sense of adventure to the night.

Somewhere along the way, we'll find a peaceful spot to stop for a hot drink and homemade local snack. It's also a chance to learn more about the Northern Lights, ask questions and share stories before we continue our journey through the Arctic night.

Whether the Northern Lights dance above us or nature has other plans, you'll return having explored the Arctic night the Finnish winter way—by snowmobile. What a story to share, right?
