Searching For Northern Lights By Snowmobile

The Northern Lights are a dream for many Lapland visitors — and a snowmobile is one of the most thrilling ways to chase them.

This guided evening snowmobile safari takes you away from the lights of the village and deep into the dark Arctic wilderness, where the sky above is extraordinary whether the aurora appears or not.

Have you ever seen the Milky Way stretch from horizon to horizon? Picked out the North Star without a phone? Your guide knows these skies, these trails and these stories — the old beliefs and the science behind the aurora, and how to read a clear night in Finnish Lapland. We ride out across 20-30 kilometres of winter terrain, stop in an open spot and watch. If the lights come, they’ll come properly out here.

Minimum age 13. Solo drive upgrade available. Maximum 10 adults.

Note: The Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) are a natural atmospheric phenomenon and, as such, cannot be guaranteed on any given night. Their appearance depends on a combination of factors beyond our control, including solar activity, cloud cover, and atmospheric conditions.

At North Wind Lapland, we take you to optimal viewing locations away from light pollution — but nature always has the final word.

No refund or compensation will be offered in the event that the Northern Lights are not visible during your safari. What we do guarantee is an unforgettable Arctic experience, expert guiding, and every effort made on your behalf to chase the lights.
