Snowmobile safari and Santa Claus Village
Rovaniemi (Finland)
Location
Embark on an Arctic snowmobiling adventure and discover the festive Christmas spirit at the Santa Claus Village. You'll navigate through snowy forests and enchanting landscapes, with the pace customized to your group's abilities, ensuring both excitement and safety.
Your experience begins with a meeting at the set meeting point, where you’ll be greeted by your guide. You’ll then gear up in warm winter overalls to ensure you’re comfortable and protected during the ride. Next, we’ll check driving licenses for those who will be operating a snowmobile, followed by a safety briefing to go over important guidelines for a safe and enjoyable experience. Once everyone is ready, we’ll walk approximately 200 meters to the snowmobiles. Before setting off, your guide will give detailed driving instructions.
During the adventure, take a well-deserved break to immerse yourself in the natural beauty. Here, our guide will set up a cozy campfire, providing warmth and comfort while you enjoy hot refreshments and delicious grilled sausages before resuming your thrilling snowmobiling journey to the Santa Claus Village. After the adrenaline-packed snowmobiling experience, you'll have around 3 hours of free time to explore the Santa Claus Village, cross the Arctic Circle, experience a personal meeting with Santa Claus, and bask in the enchanting Christmas atmosphere.
A valid driver's license is a prerequisite for snowmobiling; however, participants without licenses, spanning both children and adults, have the option to join the safari on a sled pulled by our guide. Please note that this extended snowmobiling adventure is not suitable for very young children due to its duration, spanning approximately 3 hours.
