The start of your snowmobile escape

If speed and snow are among the things that call your name, this adventure is the one for you. Ride in comfortable vehicles that take you straight from your hotel lobby to the dense forests of Taiga. There, expert instructors will teach you how to safely but smoothly journey through the forest trails on your snowmobiles as you gear up with thermal overalls. Once ready, it’s time to take over the snow-covered tracks! Zoom amidst towering snow-capped trees under the moonlight and take your time to discover the depths of the world’s largest biome and northernmost forest.

Green lights and orange campfires

It takes a pinch of luck, but as you sail through the white trails, you might catch a glimpse of green Northern Lights swaying overhead against the starlit sky. As your snowmobile ride ends, your instructors will light up cozy bonfires for you to sit around and grill some snacks on. Warm up with the crackling fire, a warm drink in hand, and cookies that complement your adventure perfectly.
