Experience the thrill of a 2-day snowmobile adventure through Lapland’s Arctic wilderness. Stay overnight in a traditional cabin, enjoy a wood-heated sauna, and chase the Northern Lights under a pristine, starry sky.
Set off on an unforgettable journey deep into the Arctic wilderness, where snow-covered landscapes stretch endlessly and the Northern Lights dance across the night sky. This exclusive overnight adventure combines the thrill of long-distance snowmobiling with the serenity of a remote wilderness retreat.
Your expedition begins with a powerful Lynx 600 ACE snowmobile, designed for smooth and comfortable riding through Lapland’s frozen lakes, winding forest trails, and untouched Arctic scenery. With a private wilderness guide leading the way, you’ll cover between 50 to 100 kilometers per day, depending on weather conditions and the group’s endurance.
As the day’s ride comes to an end, you’ll arrive at a traditional wilderness cabin, a rustic hideaway without electricity, where warmth comes from a wood-heated sauna and the crackling fire in the stove. Here, in the heart of the Arctic, you’ll enjoy a hearty dinner and the peaceful silence of nature, interrupted only by the occasional howl of a distant husky team.
With no artificial lights to interfere, the night offers the perfect opportunity to witness the Northern Lights in all their glory. Step outside, breathe in the crisp air, and watch as the sky comes alive with waves of green and violet.
The adventure continues the next day with another thrilling ride through Lapland’s breathtaking landscapes. Fueled by a hearty breakfast, you’ll once again power through the snow, experiencing the raw beauty of the Arctic before returning to civilization with memories that will last a lifetime.
This is more than just a snowmobile tour—it’s an escape into the wild, a chance to disconnect from the modern world and reconnect with nature in one of the most stunning settings on Earth.
