Description

Live a unique experience in Lapland and hunt for the northern lights in a sleigh pulled by a snowmobile!

You'll meet up with the driver and bus to depart for an excursion to your hotel in Rovaniemi, then head deep into the forest in Lapland.

On arrival, you'll don special extreme-cold gear (wetsuit, boots, helmet, balaclava and gloves) then settle aboard a sled pulled by a snowmobile.

You'll then travel across the snow-covered plateaus, a veritable postcard of Lapland, guided by your snowmobile driver. During this ride, if the weather and luck smile on you, you'll have the opportunity to observe the northern lights.

After your ride, you'll enjoy a convivial moment around a campfire and taste a hot blueberry juice, a traditional preparation of the Sami people, and gingerbread.

Your guide will explain the habits and customs of Lapland and give you a few tips for dealing with sub-zero temperatures.

At the end of your activity, you'll be driven back to Rovaniemi.
