Comprehensive Safety Briefing – Before the ride, guests receive detailed instructions and safety gear to ensure a safe experience.
Immersive Arctic Experience – Guests encounter the raw beauty and challenging weather of Lapland. Dressing warmly is essential to stay comfortable.
Guided and Responsible Adventure – The tour is guided, and drivers must follow rules for safety. Drivers are responsible for any damages to the snowmobiles.
