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

  • See and experience the beautiful Arctic winter landscape.

  • Learn about the history and extreme climate of the area.

  • Enjoy a hot drink and taste a snack reindeer meat 

After a short bus ride to the start point, you'll suit up in helmets and thermal gear before your guides walk you through everything you need to know to operate your snowmobile safely.

Then you're off. Driving in pairs and taking turns at the controls, you'll set off across the snow into the stunning Arctic winter landscape. Along the way, your guides share stories of the Arctic climate, the nomadic Sámi people and the wildlife that calls this landscape home. The trip ends around a warm drink and some dried reindeer meat – a fitting taste of the Arctic to round off your adventure.
