5.Aurora Hunt on Snowmobile – small groups

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 26 reviews · 3.5 hours · from $215

From Kiruna, a guide drives you to Kalixforsbron for a small-group snowmobile outing limited to six people. Learn to drive, cross frozen lakes, track wildlife, and warm up with fika by an open fire. Marc and Evia have led recent outings, though the Aurora depends on clear skies.

“La nostra esperienza è stata fantastica! Marc è stato puntuale e ci ha portato al loro accampamento dove ci hanno fornito delle tute adatte e ci ha spiegato come guidare. Poi è iniziato lo spettacolo! Guidare sotto la luna nella natura della Lapponia svedese è stato meraviglioso. Nonostante non abbiamo visto l’aurora (sfortunatamente era una giornata nuvolosa) ci siamo divertiti ed emozionati. Abbiamo seguito le orme di un alce e siamo perfino entrati dentro un igloo. I ragazzi sono stati scrupolosi e attenti alle nostre esigenze. Esperienza super consigliata se si è a Kiruna.”
