The snowmobile safari

The program begins with winter clothing, a safety briefing and snowmobile driving instructions. Once everyone is ready, the guide leads the group away from Levi and into the snow-covered landscape.

The snowmobile journey is an important part of the experience. Forest scenery and winter trails gradually lead towards a small private river, where the group stops for the ice-fishing part of the program. The private setting gives the fishing stop a calm and secluded atmosphere, with space to slow down and experience the Arctic surroundings.

Ice fishing on a private river

At the river, the guide introduces the ice-fishing equipment and explains how to fish through the winter ice. No previous ice-fishing experience is required. Guests can settle beside their fishing spots, try the technique and enjoy the stillness of the river and surrounding landscape.

Ice fishing has a naturally unhurried rhythm. Part of the experience is waiting, watching the line and spending time outdoors in the winter silence. A catch cannot be guaranteed, as fishing always depends on natural conditions and the activity of the fish.

Kota lunch

The safari also includes a stop in a traditional kota, where lunch is served. The kota provides a comfortable place to warm up, rest and enjoy the meal before continuing the program.

After the fishing and lunch stop, the group returns by snowmobile with the guide. The result is a well-balanced winter experience that combines snowmobile riding, time beside a private river and a relaxed kota lunch in the Lappish wilderness.

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.
