Activity description
Let’s embark on an adventure in the mysterious Arctic forest on a snowmobile and spot the incredible northern lights!
This northern light snowmobiling tour combines two great winter activities in Lapland: searching for northern lights and snowmobile driving. This is the tour to choose if you are looking for an adventurous and fun northern lights tour.
We will be driving in a small group of max. 8 participants. That means, that you will have a more personal, authentic, and safe experience.
You will be picked up at your accommodation and start driving towards Parpalandia. We will arrive at Parpalandia in about 50 minutes, change clothes to get equipped in warm winter gear and start the tour with the safety and driving briefing. Parpalandia and the snowmobile tracks are located away from the city and lights, which is great for spotting northern lights.
In our search for northern lights, we will be driving through white Lappish landscapes and make several stops to take photos of nature and northern lights. Our journey leads to a peaceful spot, which is great to observe aurora borealis. Here, we will make a fire and have some snacks. While we are eating, the guide will share some interesting stories and facts about the Northern Lights.
