Embark on an unforgettable snowmobile safari through the Arctic wilderness of Finnmarksvidda, Europe's largest mountain plateau. Experience the thrill of snowmobiling while immersing yourself in the magical winter landscape, and keep your eyes peeled for the elusive Northern Lights, which may appear in all their glory above you during the evening.
Upon arrival, you will be provided with warm clothes and boots for the evening. After this, we will go through our safety instructions and give you a practical demonstration on how to drive a snowmobile.
You will be driving in pairs, one driver and one passenger on each snowmobile, with the opportunity to switch places during the trip. The tour will take you through a snow covered forest all the way up to the Beskades Mountain range, the beginning of Finnmarksvidda. You will be on this snowmobiling adventure for approximately 2 hours, depending on the weather and snow conditions.
If we are lucky we will get to see the magnificent northern lights dancing across the sky on our trip, or be treated with a beautiful arctic night sky. Even though this tour is not focused on hunting the Northern Lights, being outside on a dark winter evening might give a wonderful opportunity to witness the lights while going out on this adventure. (After the middle of March our days will get longer as we are drifting towards the midnight sun. Instead of the Northern Light you will be able to witness spectacular sunsets.)
No previous experience is required to drive a snowmobile. All you need is a regular driver’s license, and it’s as simple as it is fun.

We were very lucky as our group consisted of us and one other couple. Our guide Marion was excellent and we were able to go off on one of the tracks. We were lucky to have a clear night and were able to see the lights and choose when to stop and watch.

TOP - Highly recommended: The tour was well prepared by the guide Marion – you can tell that she loves the contact with the tourists. Adjusts the movement speed of the group. Fantastic explanations about nature and the environment.
Unabhängig vom vereinbarten Treffpunkt, wurden wir sogar direkt am Hafen von unserem Schiff abgeholt und wieder zurückgebracht. Es war Topp organisiert. Alle Guides waren super freundlich, immer hilfsbereit und es waren kaum noch Fragen offen. Die Hunde und die Haltungsbedingungen sind hervorragend....
Outstanding. Well organized. Good safety instructions and comfortable boat and gear. And we saw a pod of 5 orcas! Its was memorable and quite exciting. We were 100% on time to go back to our ship. We were really happy with the experience.

From Alta: Northern Lights Night Adventure By Snowmobile
Perfect experience all round! We were lucky enough to have amazing conditions to view the Northern lights during our trip and Vicky was a brilliant guide. We have some wonderful memories and photos to look back on. Would highly recommend.
It was such a great experience to be able to drive a dog sled yourself. We've been told exactly what to do. The guides were totally nice and the dogs were great. It was one of the best experiences in my life and I would book it again and again.
