Snowmobiles & ice fishing & campfire lunch

This exciting full day snowmobile tour is for those who really want to do snowmobiling and experience the best of the Lapland wilderness. The tour takes you further from the usual safari trails as we ride on snowmobiles north from Santa Claus Village. The journey takes us through beautiful winter forests and we make several stops along the way to enjoy the frozen nature and landscapes.

There will be a longer break while we reach the Arctic Circle Wilderness Lodge – a traditional lumberjack house nestled by the river of Raudanjoki. A delicious hot soup lunch will be prepared and eaten by a campfire to fill you up with warmth and extra energy. A little rest after the meal is great to combine with ice fishing. Your guide will provide the equipment and after a little walk on the river ice, you will be instructed on how to drill a hole and set your fishing hook. Will you get a bite?

The snowmobile safari will continue after the break. There are hundreds of kilometres of wilderness trails to choose from, and your guide will decide the best possible direction based on your riding skills and weather conditions. On the way we pass traditional reindeer roundabouts, wooden fences in the deep wilderness, where during the autumn the masses of reindeer are gathered. Your guide will explain to you about its purpose during the “erotus” – the highlight of reindeer herders year. The second break in the forest camp will re-fill you with the warm drinks and sausages grilled on the fire and soon after that it is time to turn back towards home.

Two adults ride on one snowmobile, with an extra charge for a single riding supplement. Please note you will stay outdoors for a minimum of 8 hours and have a long snowmobile ride.

The driver of a snowmobile has to be at least 15 years old and hold a valid driver license – A1, T, A or B category (please check that it is valid in Finland!)
