Saariselkä & Ivalo: Go Northwild by Snowmobile

3 hours

Moderate

Leave the large safari groups behind and come ride into the snowy forests 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, take in the views and simply experience the Arctic wilderness around us. 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 Lapland's winter landscape is an experience of its own—the crisp Arctic air, snow-covered forests and quiet trails give you a completely different way to discover the North.

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 Lapland, ask questions and share stories before we continue our journey. If we are lucky we might even see some reindeers in the wilderness.

By the time we return, you won't have just seen Lapland—you'll have ridden through it the Finnish winter way: by snowmobile. What a cool story to share, right?

Six guests max. Endless Arctic wilderness. A more personal way to experience Lapland.

  • Small groups for a personal experience (max. 6 people)
