The safari

The safari house is tucked in a private forest clearing just minutes from Levi centre — not a busy departure yard but a quiet spot in the trees where the exclusive feeling starts the moment the transfer pulls in. From here, the route follows a mix of Levi’s public marked snowmobile trails and sections of privately owned land that only STG guests can access. It is that combination which makes this safari different from most available in Levi: the public trails keep the ride moving efficiently through the landscape, while the private sections push deeper into the wilderness — no other snowmobiles, no other visitors, just the trail ahead and the silence of the Arctic forest around it.

The ride covers snow-covered forest and frozen lakes in the shadow of Levi fell. Midway through, the group stops for a hot drink — a moment to take in the surroundings before the return. Average speed when a sleigh is in use: 20–25 km/h. Without a sleigh: 30–45 km/h.

Who this is for

• First-time snowmobilers and beginners

Disclaimer — Snowmobile Safaris

Damage to snowmobiles: All snowmobiles are insured as required by Finnish law, subject to the Finnish Motor Liability Insurance Act. Clients are liable for damage caused to snowmobiles. The tour price includes accident insurance with a maximum deductible of €950 per driver. The deductible can be reduced to €350 by purchasing a waiver (€35) at the time of booking or in the office before departure. If the driver does not follow the Finnish Road Traffic Act or guide’s instructions, all damages must be paid in full — waivers and deductibles do not apply.

Personal injuries: Snowmobile programs can be physically demanding. Snowmobiling is not recommended for pregnant women or people with back or hip problems. Guests with heart disease, asthma, diabetes, epilepsy or other relevant conditions should consult a medical professional before participating. Each participant is personally responsible for assessing their ability to take part. Comprehensive travel insurance is strongly recommended.

Driver’s licence: Finnish law requires snowmobile drivers to be at least 18 years old and hold a valid driving licence accepted in Finland. Accepted licences: categories B, T, A1 or A issued in EU/EEA countries or countries party to the Geneva or Vienna Conventions, or otherwise officially recognised by Finland. Electronic licences are not officially accepted. A licence issued in a country not recognised by Finland is not valid for driving a snowmobile — the holder may only participate as a passenger.

Alcohol and drugs: Tolerance is zero. Finnish law strictly prohibits driving a snowmobile under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Drivers may be breathalysed before departure. Participation will be denied if under the influence; no refund applies.

Speed and trails: The official speed limit for snowmobiles in Finland is 60 km/h. Driving is only permitted on marked trails. Please bring your driving licence — police patrols operate on snowmobile tracks.

STG reserves the right to adjust routes, schedules or durations due to weather, safety or participant health. STG may discontinue the safari if a participant is considered a danger to themselves or others or is in poor health.

Cold temperature and weather related modifications and cancellations

Snowmobile safaris are cancelled when the outside temperature falls below -35°C (-31°F). In the event of cancellation, the tour can be rescheduled to another date or refunded in full if rescheduling is not suitable.

For safaris involving children, the minimum temperature limit is -25°C (-13°F). Between -25°C and -35°C, safaris may be modified — for example, with a shorter riding distance or additional warming breaks. These modifications are made in the interest of guest comfort and safety and are not subject to compensation or refund.
