About this activity

Chase the Arctic's most magical phenomenon on a thrilling 3-hour snowmobile adventure through Rovaniemi's winter wilderness. You'll ride into pristine, dark landscapes optimally positioned for Northern Lights viewing, with a campfire stop to observe the Aurora Borealis and learn about this celestial wonder from a knowledgeable guide.

You’ll ride through dark, snow-covered landscapes to an open view of the sky, a great  setting for spotting the Aurora Borealis. Along the way, you’ll experience the thrill of  snowmobiling beneath a star-filled sky.  

At our destination, we’ll light a fire and take time to watch the sky, enjoy the atmosphere, and  listen to your guide’s insights about the Northern Lights and the surrounding Arctic nature.

Both solo driving supplement, and self liability waiver are personal, and may not be shared between multiple guests.

Insider tips

  • Book for a clear, moonless night when possible—cloud cover and moonlight reduce Aurora visibility, so check weather forecasts before committing
  • Dress in extreme-cold layers; standing still by a fire is colder than active riding, and Arctic temperatures demand serious insulation
  • The shared snowmobile rotation means you'll spend roughly half the time driving and half observing—plan accordingly if you have a strong preference for one activity
  • Northern Lights are never guaranteed due to solar activity and weather; view this as an immersive Arctic experience first, with Aurora viewing as a bonus
