About this experience
Snowmobiling at night in Lapland is unforgettable — the thrill of riding through snowy forests with the chance to see the Northern Lights above. With Arctic GM, it’s done authentically: small groups, private trails, expert guides, and premium gear.
As Lapland’s Original Aurora Hunters™, our family has lived here for 20 generations since the 1600s. With international awards and 50,000+ guests, Arctic GM is Lapland’s most trusted operator.
Your evening begins with pickup in a brand-new 2025 luxury 4×4 van. At our private base, gear up and get full instructions before setting off on snowmobiles. Each is shared by two guests, with a driver switch halfway. You’ll ride around 2 hours across forest and tundra, far from tourist crowds.
Quiet breaks let you enjoy the Arctic night — and if skies are clear, the Aurora Borealis may appear overhead. After the ride, gather by the fire for hot drinks and a barbecue, the perfect ending to an evening of adrenaline, wilderness, and winter magic.

Detailed itinerary
1
Begin your evening with pickup from your Rovaniemi accommodation in a brand-new 2025 luxury 4×4 van. After a comfortable drive, you’ll arrive at Arctic GM’s private snowmobile base, located deep in Lapland’s wilderness. Here, your guide provides full gear, helmets, thermal overalls, and safety instructions before the adventure begins.
You’ll ride brand-new 2025 snowmobiles for about 2 hours across snowy forests and open tundra, far from crowded tourist trails. Each snowmobile is shared by two guests, with a driver switch halfway to ensure everyone has time behind the handlebars. Along the way, quiet breaks give you a chance to enjoy the silence of the Arctic night — and if skies are clear, you may see the Northern Lights dancing overhead.
After the ride, gather around a bonfire for hot drinks and a traditional Lapland barbecue, the perfect way to warm up and share the magic of your evening under the stars.
