Snowmobile Aurora hunting from Northern Lights Village

Join a snowmobile ride through the snowy forests and up the fells around Saariselkä. With a bit of luck, you will catch a glimpse of the renowned Northern Lights illuminating the Arctic sky.

Travel by snowmobile through the snow-covered forests and up into the quiet fells, far from artificial lights. Once at the top, a fire provides warmth while you enjoy hot drinks and an evening snack beneath the open sky.

If conditions are right, the Northern Lights may appear - offering opportunities for photography or quiet observation of the surrounding landscape.

The snowmobiles are modern, easy to operate, and designed with safety in mind. You will share a snowmobile, one driver and one passenger, with the option to switch 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. For a more relaxed option, participants may ride in a sleigh pulled by the guide and focus on the scenery throughout the journey.
