Reviewed By sonjar491 - Paris, France

We did a 3-hour snowmobile tour in the evening from 20-23h and it was great fun. The night was too cloudy to see northern lights but we knew this beforehand and it was still a great experience. We drove into the snowy forest and stopped by at a cottage to warm up, drink juice and eat some corn (or sausages for those who want). Going in the night is quite magical and there was no one else around as I think in the day time the area is also used for husky and reindeer trails. Snowmobiling was easy to learn and my mother could sit behind me as she didn't want to drive herself. We were picked up and dropped off from our guesthouse in the city so transport was very easy.
