This tour is for all, who wish to have a first taste of driving your own snowmobile in the Arctic Circle area. Suitable for everyone, this is the best snowmobiling teaser safari in Lapland.

Never driven a snowmobile, but keen to try it out? This short tour is perfect for you! You’ll get a taste of snowmobiling while we ride through the beautiful wintry landscape around Arctic Circle.  For participants' safety and comfort, the speed of the snowmobiles is limited.
