Private Levi Summit Snowmobile safari - for adults single drivers only
Single drivers only. This safari does not operate with shared snowmobiles or passengers. Every participant drives their own machine for the full route. This is a requirement, not an option, due to the technical nature of the summit ascent and descent.
Levi Summit Snowmobile Safari. Single Drivers Only, Views to Sweden, January to April
Why this is the most exclusive snowmobile safari in Levi
- The only snowmobile safari to the summit of Levi fell
- Single drivers only. Technically the most demanding route we offer
- Views to the Swedish border on clear days from the summit at 531 m
- Passes through Kätkätunturi and Pyhätunturi mountain areas before the final climb
- Available January to April, subject to fell conditions
- Private land sections before the climb, deeper wilderness than any standard safari
Snowmobile ascent to the summit of Levi fell
The safari house is located in a private forest clearing just minutes from Levi. What begins as a quiet, familiar departure soon becomes something entirely different as the route starts to climb. The trail follows public marked snowmobile routes and sections of privately owned land before the terrain rises more seriously, passing through the Kätkätunturi and Pyhätunturi mountain areas on the way toward the summit of Levi fell.
This safari is operated with single drivers only. The ascent to the summit and the descent back down require full attention and full control: no passengers, no shared machines. Each rider is alone with the snowmobile and the fell. On the way up, the forest gradually gives way to open fell terrain. On the descent, the fell drops steeply back towards the trees below. It is the most technically demanding route we offer, and for the right rider, the most rewarding.
At the summit, on a clear day, the view reaches all the way to the Swedish border. The scale of Lapland from 531 m is something you cannot recreate anywhere else from ground level. A midway stop at a private kota or wilderness café, with grilled sausage or a snack and a hot drink, breaks the climb before the final push.
Available from January onwards, subject to snow and fell conditions. The guide confirms suitability on the day. Summit riding is not guaranteed and may be replaced with the extended fell route if conditions do not allow the final ascent.
Who this is for
- Experienced single drivers only. No passengers or shared snowmobiles
- Those who want the most technically demanding and visually rewarding safari we offer
- Riders comfortable with steep ascents and descents in open fell conditions
Disclaimer — Snowmobile Safaris
Damage to snowmobiles: All snowmobiles are insured as required by Finnish law, subject to the Finnish Motor Liability Insurance Act. Clients are liable for damage caused to snowmobiles. The tour price includes accident insurance with a maximum deductible of €950 per driver. The deductible can be reduced to €350 by purchasing a waiver (€35) at the time of booking or in the office before departure. If the driver does not follow the Finnish Road Traffic Act or guide’s instructions, all damages must be paid in full — waivers and deductibles do not apply.
Personal injuries: Snowmobile programs can be physically demanding. Snowmobiling is not recommended for pregnant women or people with back or hip problems. Guests with heart disease, asthma, diabetes, epilepsy or other relevant conditions should consult a medical professional before participating. Each participant is personally responsible for assessing their ability to take part. Comprehensive travel insurance is strongly recommended.
Driver’s licence: Finnish law requires snowmobile drivers to be at least 18 years old and hold a valid driving licence accepted in Finland. Accepted licences: categories B, T, A1 or A issued in EU/EEA countries or countries party to the Geneva or Vienna Conventions, or otherwise officially recognised by Finland. Electronic licences are not officially accepted. A licence issued in a country not recognised by Finland is not valid for driving a snowmobile — the holder may 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 breathalysed before departure. Participation will be denied if under the influence; no refund applies.
Speed and trails: The official speed limit for snowmobiles in Finland is 60 km/h. Driving is only permitted on marked trails. Please bring your driving licence — police patrols operate on snowmobile tracks.
STG reserve the right to adjust routes, schedules or durations due to weather, safety or participant health. STG may discontinue the safari if a participant is considered a danger to themselves or others or is in poor health.
Cold temperature and weather related modifications and cancellations

When temperatures are between -25°C and -35°C, safari may be modified — for example, with a shorter riding distance or additional warming breaks. These modifications are made in the interest of guest comfort and safety and are not subject to compensation or refund.
Responsibility waiver: Scandinavian Travel Group is not responsible for changes, disruptions or unavailability affecting any third-party venue or location visited during this program, for whatever reason.
