Description

Live a unique experience in Lapland and go hunting for the Northern Lights in a sled pulled by a snowmobile!

You will meet the driver and the bus for an excursion to your hotel in Rovaniemi, then you will head into the forest in Lapland.

On arrival, you will put on special cold weather equipment (suit, boots, helmet, hood and gloves) then you will sit aboard a sled pulled by a snowmobile.

You will then crisscross the snow-covered plateaus, a real postcard of Lapland, guided by your snowmobile driver. During this walk, if the weather and luck favor you, you will have the opportunity to observe the Northern Lights.

After your walk, you will enjoy a friendly moment around a campfire and taste hot blueberry juice, a traditional preparation of the Sami people, and gingerbread.

Your guide will explain the habits and customs in Lapland and give you some advice to counter the negative temperatures.

At the end of your activity, you will be taken back to Rovaniemi.
