★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 622 reviews · from $124Top rated

Head from Rovaniemi to a private lakeside trail for about an hour of snowmobiling, with safety instruction, photo stops and a fire-side barbecue. English-speaking guides, including Roman, MG and MJ on some outings, lead small groups of up to eight. Winter clothing, helmets, hot drinks and grilled sausages are included.

“The activity is value for money, it will take 40-45 minutes to reach the river side for the snow mobile and come back the same time. They will pick you up from the city centre. If you are two, you both will get 30 minutes each for the snow mobile ride. It’s highly recommended with this price.”
