Snowmobiling

Experience and enjoy the power of a snowmobile, taking you through the stunning scenery of Paistunturi Wilderness Area. Your local guide will instruct you thoroughly how to use the snowmobile and lead your way in the wilderness. We only do private or very small group snowmobiling tours, to make sure everyone is within earshot and vision contact with the guide, to ensure the experience is safe for everyone.

Paistunturi wilderness area is a 1500 square kilometer large wilderness area in Utsjoki. Stunning sceneries after another are exposed, as the gentle rolling fells are crossed by deep carved river valleys. From the highest fell tops, you get a great view over the entire wilderness area and to the fell tops of Norway. Snowmobiles are commonly used as means of transportation this snowy region. A powerful engine with track mat and skis, enables this heavy object to move on snow, to transport people and gear without road connection. Driving a snowmobile is technically simple, and the feeling of being able to travel your-self through the stunning landscapes on the fells is phenomenal. But without proper instructions or information about safety and guide´s knowledge about the environment and snow and ice conditions, it can be a very risky experience. This is why we planned our snowmobiling program to be as safe as possible, so that with hand on heart, we can say that the guide will take 100 % care of everyone´s safety, take time in teaching how to use the snowmobile, and that the tour will be cancelled or the route changed, if the conditions are not safe. We provide only snowmobiling experiences with an experienced local guide for very small or private groups. This way the guide can always hear and see how the guests are doing with their snowmobiles, and have the freedom to drive in the wilderness area, instead of driving around just on a field or lake.

 

There will only be two snowmobiles on a tour, to make sure the guide has vision contact to everyone throughout the tour. One snowmobile can be shared between two guests, and children can join as passengers in the guide´s sled. Your local guide will instruct you thoroughly how to use the snowmobile and lead your way in the wilderness, taking care of your safety all the time.
