Levi: Evening Snowmobile Safari

4.Evening Snowmobile Safari

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 185 reviews · 3 hours · from $166

You’ll ride a shared snowmobile through Levi’s snowy forests and possibly across a frozen lake, with winter gear, a guide, hot drinks, grilled sausage, and pastry included. Guides such as Helmi, Brent, and Nikola are known for calm instruction and helpful photo stops. Aurora sightings depend on clear skies.

“The snowmobile driving was really nice and funny! The extra clothes and material provided was really appreciated as it was really cold (-25 C). The group was definitely too big (over 20 people in total). The BBQ (1 sausage) is something that could have been avoided and maybe more information about Lapland, Finland, etc. On the way back we were lucky enough to see some amazing Northern Lights but we could only stop for a few minutes and the guide didn't have a camera. It would have been great to capture this moment and take home this memory.”

Le temps de trajet est plus long que l'activité. Le réconfort près du feu est intéressant mais se fait à la fin dans un yourth sur le parking...”

11.Late Night Ride with Finnhorses

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 32 reviews · 1.5 hours · from $159

Ride a gentle Finnhorse for 30 minutes through the forest near Santa’s Village, with an English-speaking guide and no more than five participants. Depending on the season, you may ride beneath the midnight sun, through snow, or under autumn colors. Finish with warm juice, snacks, and campfire stories about horses and Lapland.

“My wife in particular was very excited about this experience as she has ridden horses at home for years. Unfortunately it was quite short and in the pitch black which meant we could not take in the beauty of the raw nature of Lapland. Ela was great and hence why I have rated higher than I was initially planning on. Afterwards, we sat around a fire place and she shared stories of her Finnish roots which was probably the highlight of this experience! We were very lucky to be treated to vegetarian sausages which we cooked in the fire whilst sharing our stories!”
