Rovaniemi: Drive New 2025 Snowmobiles on Arctic Safari


About This Experience
Snowmobiling is one of the most thrilling ways to explore Lapland, and this safari does it the authentic way — on private forest land with both forest and tundra trails, well away from the busiest mass-tourism routes. Groups are kept small, with just five snowmobiles per guide, so the experience feels personal and unhurried.
Run by Arctic GM, a Lapland family with 20 generations of local roots and more than 50,000 guests served, the tour is fully in-house with certified guides who handle safety and instruction from start to finish. Your adventure begins at their Rovaniemi office, where you board a modern coach for the transfer to the private forest location.
Out on the trails you'll ride across untouched Arctic wilderness with plenty of stops for photos and short talks, then gather around a campfire for a warming barbecue before the transfer back to town.

We were happy with this experience and didn't know what to expect because winter was coming to an end and snow started to melt however this route was brilliant given the situation and the snow didn't disappoint. Moreover it was discounted when we went so no complaints, only smiles. The guides, the drivers, the caterers and the office staff were all professional, welcoming and friendly. We had diet

The snowmobile experience was absolutely amazing and one of the highlights of our trip. We were in a very small group, which made everything feel more personal and special. Our guide was fantastic, she adapted perfectly to everyone’s level and preferences. Since we were looking for a bit more speed and excitement, she placed us right behind her so we could go faster, which made the experience even
