5-hour guided snowmobile tour through the winter forests of Arctic Sweden
Snowmobile tour, 5 hrs
Spend a full day’s adventure in the winter forests of Arctic Sweden on our longest snowmobile tour. Driving across the snow is a liberating feeling, a little like surfing or riding a motorbike, and no previous experience is needed. After a safety briefing, your guide shows you how to drive and leads the way out onto the snowy trails.
With five hours on the tour, we travel further into the forest than on our shorter trips, following quiet tracks deep into the snow-covered landscape. The extra time means more time behind the handlebars, more moments to stop and take in the silence, and a greater chance of spotting wildlife along the way. Guests share one snowmobile between two and take turns driving, so everyone gets time both as a driver and as a passenger.
Along the way, we stop for a wilderness lunch in the forest, with hot drinks and homemade pastries, and time to warm up before heading back.
This tour is for those who want to experience the snowmobile and the Arctic winter at a calmer pace and in greater depth. If you are short on time or trying a snowmobile for the first time with young children, our 3-hour snowmobile tour may suit you better.
