“Our guides Eugene and Lena were very nice and knowledgeable. Although we didn’t manage to see the lights (due to the entire Lapland being covered in clouds ) it was still a fun excursion into the woods, with a fire, and checking out one of the non frozen rivers in Lapland.”

3.3 Hours Snowmobiling under Auroras and Night Sky

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 31 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $162Best value

Ride about 30 km through Levi’s snowy forests on a shared snowmobile, stopping at a Sami-style tipi for sausages, marshmallows, coffee, and juice. Guides such as Antonin and Emme lead the group in English. Children ages 3 to 12 ride safely in a sleigh pulled by the guide.

“O local para assar as salsichas (campfire) é excepcional. No entanto não é uma caçada à aurora boreal, e sim um bom posicionamento para isso. Sugiro olhar bem a previsão do tempo para d fazer o passeio com tempo limpo e ficar de olho no aplicativo da aurora boreal.”
