Family Snowmobiling
About
Ready for a fun-filled day of snowmobiling? Our tour is perfect for families, offering a laid-back way to explore the Lapland wilderness. Adults can drive their own snowmobiles while kids ride comfortably in a heated, covered sled pulled by an expert guide. After the main tour, children can even try driving mini snowmobiles in a safe, designated area at the resort. This is the ideal tour for beginners and families looking to create lasting memories in the snow. It's time to hop on and start exploring the beautiful landscapes of Lapland!

- On this tour, adults always share a snowmobile, while children (4-14 yo) and infants (0-3 yo) join the safari on a heated sled that is behind the guide’s snowmobile. A parent must always sit with an infant in the sled, and we also recommend this arrangement for all small children.
- If a child over 140 cm wishes to sit in a snowmobile as a passenger, a full adult price will be charged. In this case, you need to book the child as an adult!
- The mini snowmobile is suitable for children aged 5 to 10, with a weight limit of 50 kg. The child must be capable of controlling the mini snowmobile independently. Parents are not allowed to drive the mini snowmobiles with their child due to safety reasons.
- The driver of a snowmobile must be at least 18 years old and in possession of a driving license valid in Finland. The snowmobile driver is held liable for any damages caused to the vehicle.
- Securing self-liability insurance for your snowmobile prior to the safari minimizes potential self-liability costs to a maximum of 250€ / person/snowmobile/accident, down from the standard 980€ in case of an accident. This insurance is individualized and applicable for a single snowmobile safari.
- In our tours, two people generally share a snowmobile, and there’s an opportunity to switch drivers at the midpoint.
- Special diet options (vegetarian, gluten-free, etc.) are available upon request.
