Start with our Snowmobile Introduction. This shorter tour includes an introduction to snowmobile driving and a guided ride through nearby winter landscapes. It’s an ideal choice for first-time riders.

For a longer adventure, the Snowmobile Day Safari and Lunch takes you deeper into the snowy forests and lake landscapes of Kuusamo. Along the way, you’ll have time to enjoy the scenery and take a break for lunch.

The Arctic Experience 100 km and Lunch offers an extended snowmobile adventure through a variety of winter landscapes. This longer route is a great choice for those looking to spend more time exploring the wilderness by snowmobile.

All excursions are led by guides who provide driving instructions and help participants become familiar with their snowmobiles before setting off.

Encounters with Local Culture

Some tours include a visit to a reindeer farm. On the Snowmobile Safari to the Reindeer Farm, you’ll ride through snowy trails before visiting a reindeer farm. There, you’ll have the opportunity to meet reindeer and learn about reindeer husbandry, a traditional livelihood in northern Finland.

Evening Snowmobile Adventures

For a different kind of winter adventure, join The Land of Northern Lights, Evening Snowmobiling in the Taiga Forest.

This guided evening safari takes you through snow-covered forests after dark. Away from the lights of the village, you can enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of the northern night and, with a little luck, see the Northern Lights dancing across the sky.

As the Northern Lights are a natural phenomenon, sightings cannot be guaranteed.

All snowmobile excursions include guidance and safety instructions. Driver requirements, winter clothing and other equipment may vary depending on the programme, so please check the details of your chosen safari before booking.

Snowmobiling in Ruka opens the door to Lapland’s winter nature. Travelling through quiet forests and wide-open landscapes is an exciting way to discover the Arctic surroundings of Kuusamo.
