Northern Lights snowmobile safari in Kilpisjärvi

Discover the magic of the Arctic on an evening snowmobile safari under the Northern Lights in the remote wilderness. Located in the far northwest corner of Finland, Kilpisjärvi offers one of the clearest and most active Northern Lights skies in Finland. 

Far from artificial lights and surrounded by snow-covered fells, this experience invites you to connect with the silence and vastness of Lapland's untouched nature. 

The tour begins with a short snowmobile ride through the peaceful tundra to a frozen lake where conditions are perfect for aurora viewing. As you stop and step off the snowmobile, you will find yourself in complete stillness, with wide open skies above. 

Travelling by snowmobile is not only an exciting way to travel: it also allows you to reach areas far from light pollution, increasing your chances of seeing the Northern Lights in all their brilliance. Your guide will share information about the unique natural surroundings and take photos of your experience while you enjoy a warm drink and a light snack.

The snowmobile safari includes an experienced guide and an introduction to safe snowmobile driving and riding.

You will share a snowmobile, one driver and one passenger, with the option of switching places halfway. It is also possible to drive your own snowmobile the entire way (additional fee applies). If you are interested in driving your own snowmobile for the whole duration, please let us know during the booking process.
