Northern Lights by Snowmobile
Tour Overview
You ride a snowmobile in the evening through the winter landscape of Finnmarksvidda, Europe's largest mountain plateau. With luck you will see the Northern Lights, or at least a stunning starry sky. This is not a dedicated aurora hunt, but a dark winter evening gives good chances. How the tour works First we go through the safety instructions, and you get a practical demonstration of the snowmobile. You ride in pairs, one driver and one passenger per snowmobile, and can swap places on the way. The tour goes through snow-covered forest to the Beskades mountain range, the gateway to Finnmarksvidda. The ride itself lasts about two hours, depending on weather and snow conditions. Good to know You need no previous experience, only a regular car driving licence. After mid-March the evenings get lighter as the midnight sun approaches, and instead of the aurora you see spectacular sunsets.
