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.

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
