Guided Snowmobile Tour in the Lyngen Alps

Join us for an unforgettable snowmobile adventure through the stunning landscapes of the Lyngen Alps. This guided experience offers a perfect blend of excitement, natural beauty, and Arctic wilderness exploration. On this afternoon tour, depending on the month you visit, you may experience sunset, twilight, or a starry sky — and sometimes we even get to see the northern lights from the snowmobile.

Upon arrival at Aurora Wonderland Basecamp, you'll receive your snowmobiling gear — suit, boots, and helmet. Our experienced, English-speaking guide will instruct you on how to operate the snowmobile, followed by a brief practice session before the tour begins.

We drive in a line, safari-style, following approved and well-established trails. Safety is our top priority, and we always stay within the designated areas. The terrain is varied and set in a mountainous region, offering fun and exciting driving challenges along the way. The tour focuses on sightseeing, the thrill of snowmobiling, and enjoying the unique surroundings of mountains, forests, and fjords.

The ride lasts approximately 60 to 90 minutes and takes you through diverse and breathtaking landscapes. Each snowmobile is shared between two guests, with the opportunity to switch drivers at designated points during the tour.

After the tour, warm up at the basecamp with a freshly prepared fish soup (see allergy list below).
