7C Snowmobile Safari
If you fancy racing a snowmobile across a vast snowy expanse and meeting the people who live here then this excursion may be for you.
- 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 reindeer meat in a well-heated Sámi lavvo (teepee).
After a short trip by coach to a site outside Kirkenes, we climb into thermal suits, onto snowmobiles and take off on a snowmobile adventure over a frozen fjord and across beautiful frozen terrain at the height of Arctic winter. During the excursion your guide tells you about the history of the Sámi people, the extreme Arctic climate and the unique wildlife that inhabits the region. After the journey, we enjoy a hot drink and taste dried reindeer meat in a well-heated Sámi lavvo (teepee). We ride two people per vehicle, and provide thorough instruction on snowmobile operation and safety before departing.
