The perfect snowmobile experience for those who want to learn and drive their own snowmobile combined with the opportunity of experiencing the Northern Lights.
You will be picked up in Alta and will be transferred to Sorrisniva Igloo Hotel. The snowmobile guide will meet you at the reception. Before the snowmobile experience a brief guided tour of the Igloo Hotel is organized. The snowmobile experience starts directly outside the Igloo Hotel at Sorrisniva. Before the safari starts you will receive the necessary equipment and an introduction about how to drive your snowmobile and what the driving rules are. After the instructions, you will head out into the wilderness. Half-way through a stop is made where you can share your experiences as well as enjoying the Northern Lights if they are visible. After 2,5 hours you will drive back to the Igloo Hotel, and you will get a refreshing ice drink. The trails together are approximately 30-35 kilometers, which means that you will be driving your snowmobile for approx. 2,5 hours. You drive in pairs and have the option to switch halfway through the tour, but there is also an opportunity to drive the snowmobile yourself for additional costs. Please let us know if you wish to drive your own snowmobile during the booking process.
