Snowmobile route in Lapland to the Arctic Ocean

Snowmobile tour in the largest wilderness area of Europe

During the route we will pass through the great Inari Lake among its thousands islands to reach the fjords of northern Norway on the shores of the Arctic Ocean. We also will cross frozen lakes, icy rivers and the snowy hills of the great boreal forest. We will sleep overnight in a cozy cabin with sauna and we will visit some tiny Sami villages, which still living from reindeer pastoral activities.

We will have the opportunity to observe the most stunning light phenomenon of nature: the Aurora Borealis. There is no better place to observe them that in the Lapland forest. There, far from light pollution of cities, we'll mesmerize by the vision of a multicolor night sky in motion. Who sees an Aurora Borealis never forget it...
