Hunting Northern Lights by Snowmobiles - Saariselkä

About this activity

Experience the thrill of snowmobiling through Lapland after dark on a nighttime safari across snowy forests and gentle fell landscapes. Following easy trails beneath the Arctic sky, you’ll ride far from artificial lights into remote wilderness — ideal conditions for Northern Lights searching.

Feel the excitement of driving through silent, snow-covered scenery where frosted trees open into wide sky-viewing areas. The combination of adventure, Arctic silence, and riding beneath the stars makes this a truly unforgettable experience. While the Aurora Borealis is a natural phenomenon and sightings cannot be guaranteed, the remote location offers excellent opportunities when conditions are favorable.

During the journey, we stop at a carefully selected forest location to light a fire and enjoy light snacks. Warm up, relax, and hear your guide share stories about the Northern Lights and life in the Arctic.
