About this activity

Chase the Northern Lights across Rovaniemi's frozen Arctic wilderness on an exhilarating 3.5-hour snowmobile adventure. Ride through silent forests and open tundra under the winter sky, with warm refreshments and expert guidance—whether the Aurora appears or starlight fills the darkness.

As the Arctic night falls, you’ll ride along snow-covered trails far from city lights, surrounded by silent frozen forests and open landscapes. 

If you're lucky and conditions are favourable, the Northern Lights may appear and dance across the sky in shifting colours, creating a truly unforgettable Arctic moment.

Along the way, you’ll pause for a warm drink and biscuits, taking time to enjoy the stillness and magic of the Arctic night. Whether the Aurora appears or the stars quietly shine above, snowmobiling through pristine winter landscapes offers a remarkable and memorable experience.

Children under 140 cm will travel in a sled pulled by the guide’s snowmobile. Children over 140 cm must sit as a passenger on a snowmobile behind the driver/guide and are charged at the adult rate.

Note: Pick-up times may vary depending on your location. Please check the confirmation email sent after your reservation for your exact pick-up details.

Insider tips

  • The Arctic night's darkness is essential for Aurora visibility; clearer, colder nights offer better odds than cloudy evenings
  • Dress in multiple thermal layers even though you'll feel warm while riding—stops can be bitingly cold, and wind chill intensifies on the snowmobile
  • Bring a camera with manual settings or a smartphone tripod; the Northern Lights reward patience and proper exposure

Good to know

  • Children under 140 cm travel in a heated sled towed by the guide; children 140 cm and over ride as passengers on snowmobiles at adult rates
  • Pick-up location and time vary by accommodation; check your confirmation email for exact details
  • No prior snowmobile experience required; guides handle all instruction and navigation
