Arctic Night Snowmobile Safari - Exclusive wilderness experience in Levi

3 hours

Easy

Evening departure of a snowmobile safari will be a special experience to discover the magic of snowy forests in the night

When the sun sets, the blue darkness of the Arctic night takes over - and it’s time to begin your evening snowmobile adventure in Levi. Engines roar to life as we head into the silent wilderness, speeding across snowy fields and frozen wetlands under the vast open sky.

Whether it’s the glowing moon, a clear starry night, or softly falling snow, every ride brings its own magic. And with the open landscape above, the northern sky often creates a truly unforgettable atmosphere.

A unique feature of this tour is that a substantial part of the route runs through privately owned land, ensuring a fully private and uninterrupted experience. These exclusive trails are reserved for our groups only - no other snowmobiles or vehicles are allowed, giving you a true sense of Arctic isolation and serenity.

Midway through the snowmobile safari, we’ll stop at a private wilderness hut (kota), set on a vast frozen swamp. The location offers 360-degree unobstructed sky views, especially toward the northern horizon. Far from roads, artificial lights, and crowds, this secluded site is completely free of light pollution - the perfect setting for enjoying the northern sky and the peaceful surroundings of Lapland’s wilderness.

And best of all, thanks to its position on private land, this stopover guarantees a truly exclusive experience - a rare luxury on popular Lapland evening safaris.

Inside the hut, you’ll warm up by the open fire, grill a sausage, and enjoy a heart-warming hot drink while taking in the beauty of the Arctic night.

The tour starts with a pickup from Levi and transfer to our safari house. There, you’ll gear up with thermal equipment: a snowmobile suit, boots, mittens, helmet, balaclava, and woolen socks - all designed to keep you warm and dry.

Your guide will provide a safety briefing and driving instructions - and then you’re ready to hit the trail.

        Disclaimer Notes – Snowmobile Safaris

        Responsibility limitation and insurance notice:

        • Damages to snowmobiles

        All snowmobiles used in our safaris are insured as required by Finnish law. Coverage is subject to the Finnish Motor Liability Insurance Act, related regulations, and applicable laws of Finland.

        Clients participating in safaris are liable for damage caused to snowmobiles. The tour price includes accident insurance with a maximum deductible of €950 per driver. You can reduce the deductible to €350 by purchasing a waiver (€35). The waiver must be purchased at the time of booking online or in our office before the start of the safari.

        If the driver does not follow the Finnish Road Traffic Act or the instructions given by our guide, all damages to the snowmobile must be paid in full (deductibles and waivers do not apply).

        • Personal injuries

        Snowmobile programs can be physically demanding, and participants may be exposed to physical strain (for example, bumps along the route). Therefore, snowmobiling is not recommended for pregnant women or people with back problems.

        If a Client has any illnesses or disabilities (such as heart disease, asthma, diabetes, epilepsy, back or hip problems) that could affect their ability to participate, or if they are pregnant, they should consult medical experts before departure. Each participant is personally responsible for assessing their own ability to take part in the activity.

        STG may only be held liable for personal injuries or material damage caused by negligence of STG, its employees, or subcontractors, or by faulty equipment, and only during the delivery of services under this Contract. STG is not liable for accidental injuries or damages that fall under the Client’s personal travel insurance. Comprehensive travel insurance is always strongly recommended.


        Practical information:

        • The license must be legally accepted for driving in Finland.
           Finnish law requires snowmobile drivers to be at least 18 years old and hold a valid driver’s license, which is legally accepted in Finland
          Accepted Foreign Licenses:
           Driving licenses of categories B, T, A1, or A, issued in EU/EEA countries, Contracting States (Geneva / Vienna Conventions), or in other countries officially recognized by Finland are accepted when valid.
          Non-Accepted Licences:
           Electronic license is not officially accepted in Finland. A license issued in a country not recognized by Finland is not valid for driving a snowmobile.
          In such cases, one can 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 breathalyzed before departure. Participation will be denied if under the influence of alcohol; no refund applies.
        • The official speed limit for snowmobiles in Finland is 60 km/h; driving is only permitted on marked trails. Average snowmobile speed: 30 km/h (in line with safety regulations)
        • Two adults share one snowmobile unless a solo driving supplement is booked. If an odd number of adults book the tour, one participant may share a snowmobile with another guest. During the safari, drivers and passengers may swap places halfway through the route.
        • Snowmobile passengers must be at least 130 cm tall and able to reach the footrests. Children under 130 cm ride in a sleigh pulled by the guide’s snowmobile.
        • Safaris are not recommended for children under 3 years. Please contact us in advance if you plan to bring infants.
        • Sleighs are always pulled by the guide’s snowmobile. Small children should be accompanied by an adult
        • As the responsible safari organizer, STG reserves the right to adjust routes, schedules, and durations of excursions if required by weather, safety, or participant comfort. STG also reserves the right to discontinue the safari if a participant is considered a danger to themselves or others or is in poor health.


        What to bring
          • Please take your driving license with you on the snowmobile safari as the police may check the validity of the license during the safari.
          • We recommend wearing thermal base layers and warm multi-layer clothing under the provided snowmobile gear. Two pairs of socks are recommended, with thick wool socks worn on top, along with a neck scarf to protect against cold and wind during the ride. In very cold temperatures (below -20 °C), a neoprene face mask or similar face protection may improve comfort.
          • For those people who consider self-rental: out there you’ll be surrounded by almost total whiteness, so it’s quite easy to lose one’s way for the first time, that’s why to guarantee the quality time, we highly recommend for the first time to go on an organized safari with an experienced local guide.
