A snowmobile excursion under the Midnight Sun in Kirkenes
  • Drive a snowmobile across a frozen fjord and snowy terrain.

  • Experience the beautiful Arctic landscape.

  • Learn about the area’s history and extreme climate.

  • Enjoy a hot drink and taste reindeer meat.

Arriving at our start point by bus, first, we’ll gear up with helmets and thermal suits that’ll keep us safe and warm during the ride. Our guides will then give us thorough instructions on how to properly operate a snowmobile. We’ll drive in pairs. Each person will take turns driving and relaxing as a passenger.

You’re sure to feel the rush of adrenaline that comes from starting up a snowmobile. Then, we’ll set off across the snow into the stunning Arctic winter landscape. A highlight might include traveling across a frozen fjord or climbing a ridge that reveals an amazing view of the mountains.

Experienced guides will talk about the Arctic climate, the nomadic Sámi people, and local wildlife. We’ll end our trip with a hot drink and some dried reindeer meat.
