Snowmobile Safari

Are you ready to catch the arctic wind? Experience the thrilling excitement of snowmobiling through the snowy landscape surrounding the Snowhotel in Kirkenes! This 2-hour adventure is a great and unforgettable experience through the magical landscape above the Arctic Circle. This is a fantastic activity choice if you are looking for some adrenaline and action during your stay in Kirkenes and want to try something new and exciting.

Before turning on the engine, our professional guides will give you a short briefing on how to operate the snowmobiles and provide you with necessary safety equipment and clothing to keep you warm and comfortable during your adventure. The snowmobile is shared between two people - one driver, who's in control of the snowmobile, and one passenger who gets to sit and admire the beautiful view around. You can always switch seats during the tour and try both options!

Note! In order to drive the snowmobile, you need to be minimum 18 years old and hold a valid driver's license. Children below the age of 10 are not allowed.
