Embark on an unforgettable snowmobile safari through the Arctic wilderness of Finnmarksvidda, Europe's largest mountain plateau. Experience the thrill of snowmobiling while immersing yourself in the magical winter landscape, and keep your eyes peeled for the elusive Northern Lights, which may appear in all their glory above you during the evening. Upon arrival, you will be provided with warm clothes and boots for the evening. After this, we will go through our safety instructions and give you a practical demonstration on how to drive a snowmobile. You will be driving in pairs, one driver and one passenger on each snowmobile, with the opportunity to switch places during the trip. The tour will take you through a snow covered forest all the way up to the Beskades Mountain range, the beginning of Finnmarksvidda. You will be on this snowmobiling adventure for approximately 2 hours, depending on the weather and snow conditions. If we are lucky we will get to see the magnificent northern lights dancing across the sky on our trip, or be treated with a beautiful arctic night sky. Even though this tour is not focused on hunting the Northern Lights, being outside on a dark winter evening might give a wonderful opportunity to witness the lights while going out on this adventure. (After the middle of March our days will get longer as we are drifting towards the midnight sun. Instead of the Northern Light you will be able to witness spectacular sunsets.) No previous experience is required to drive a snowmobile. All you need is a regular driver’s license, and it’s as simple as it is fun.
