BEFORE YOU BOOK
What to Know Before Booking a
Snowmobile Tour in Rovaniemi
A few things are worth knowing before choosing your snowmobile experience.
How long should your snowmobile tour be?
For most travelers, a 2.5–3 hour snowmobile safari is a great choice. It gives you enough time to experience riding through the Arctic landscape while still leaving room for other activities that day.
If snowmobiling is one of the highlights of your trip, consider a longer experience that combines it with another Arctic activity such as ice fishing.
Can you drive the snowmobile yourself?
Many snowmobile safaris allow adults who meet the operator's requirements to drive, while another guest rides as a passenger. Driver requirements vary between tours, so always check the current conditions before booking.
If you plan to drive, make sure you bring any documentation required by the tour operator.
What should you wear?
Snowmobile tours take place outdoors in Arctic winter conditions, and the wind can make riding feel colder than standing still. Dress in warm base and mid layers and follow the operator's clothing recommendations.
Many tours provide additional thermal clothing, but check exactly what is included with your chosen experience before you go.
How early should you book?
Snowmobiling is one of Rovaniemi's most popular winter activities. During the busiest travel periods, popular departure times can sell out.
Once your travel dates are fixed, we recommend checking availability rather than waiting until you arrive in Rovaniemi.

THE EXPERIENCE
What Is a Snowmobile Tour in
Rovaniemi Actually Like?
A snowmobile safari is one of the most exciting ways to experience the winter landscape around Rovaniemi. Instead of simply visiting one attraction, the journey itself becomes the experience as you travel through the snowy Arctic scenery.
Tours typically begin with instructions and preparation before heading out on the snowmobiles. Depending on the experience you choose, you may drive, ride as a passenger or switch during the tour.
The biggest differences between snowmobile tours are usually the total duration and what else is included. A shorter safari works well if you mainly want to experience snowmobiling, while longer tours can combine the ride with other Arctic activities such as ice fishing and lunch.
Our tip: For a first snowmobile experience, around three hours is a great sweet spot. If snowmobiling is one of the highlights of your Lapland trip, consider making a bigger experience out of it.
