Riding time is about 1 to 1 hour 15 minutes, after which you leave the machines and continue on foot with a briefing for both activities. We collect you from stays within 17 km of Rovaniemi city centre and keep the group to eight so both halves stay personal. 📋 Key Details Duration: Around 5 hours including kit, transfers and both activities Snowmobile riding: About 1 to 1 hour 15 minutes Snowshoeing: Guided walk in the forest at Vikaköngäs after the ride Group size: 2 to 8 guests. Groups of 8 or more run as a private outing with their own guide Who it is for: Ages 18+ Location: Trails around Rovaniemi, then Vikaköngäs forest 🗺️ What to Expect The day starts like a short safari: pickup or a meet in town, winter kit, a driving briefing, then time on newest-generation snowmobiles through forest and open snow. You ride in a line with photo stops, twin driving if two of you share a machine, and speeds kept modest, usually up to 40 km/h, so the guide can watch every rider. After about 1 to 1 hour 15 minutes on the snowmobiles you leave the machines and continue to Vikaköngäs for snowshoes. The guide shows you how to walk in them, then leads you through quieter woodland away from the machine tracks. Plan on around five hours from first collection to last drop-off, with the walk deliberately slower so you feel the contrast between engines and footsteps in the same winter. 📍 Location The snowmobile section uses forest and winter trails just outside Rovaniemi, close enough that you are on the snow before the morning or afternoon disappears. The second half moves to Vikaköngäs, a woodland area where the walk sits away from the safari line and the noise of the machines. Both routes change with snow and weather. We collect you from hotels, apartments and holiday rentals within 17 km of the city centre, or you start from the office on Kansankatu, and we return you the same way after the snowshoe walk. 📝 Prerequisites This day is for adults and needs at least two people to run. Anyone driving a snowmobile must be 18 or over and bring a physical Category B car licence. You do not need previous time on a snowmobile or on snowshoes. Both briefings happen before you start each half, so first-timers are expected. Wear thermal base layers and thick socks under the kit we provide. Tell us in advance about any medical condition that could a… ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included Pick-up and drop-off from hotels, apartments and holiday rentals within 17 km of Rovaniemi city centre Thermal overalls, winter boots, gloves, helmet and balaclava Newest-generation snowmobile and fuel Snowshoes and a guided forest walk at Vikaköngäs Professional guide, plus driving and snowshoe briefings Twin driving, with two people sharing a snowmobile and taking turns Private guide at no extra cost when your group is 8 or more ### What’s not included Transport to and from the meeting point if you are staying more than 17 km from Rovaniemi city centre Solo driving, available as an extra at the office Optional self-liability waiver, bought at the office before you start Travel insurance that covers snowmobiling and winter activities Food and drinks ### Kit list _None._ ## FAQs ### Do I need experience on snowmobiles or snowshoes? No. The snowmobile briefing covers the controls, spacing and trail rules before you leave the base. The snowshoe briefing at Vikaköngäs shows you how to walk, turn and manage deeper snow before the group sets off on foot. First-timers are the usual guests. The guide sets both paces from the people in front of them, so you are not expected to arrive already competent at either activity. ### How is the day split between the two activities? You start on snowmobiles for about 1 to 1 hour 15 minutes, with photo stops on forest trails around Rovaniemi. After that you leave the machines and continue to Vikaköngäs for the snowshoe walk. The whole outing is around 5 hours once you include kit, transfers and both briefings. The walk is slower on purpose. That is the change of pace the day is built around. ### Is this suitable for children? No. This combo is for adults only. There is no heated sleigh, and both the ride and the walk are paced for an adult group. If you are travelling with younger children, the family 1-hour safari is the better fit. This day needs at least two adults to run. ### What licence do I need? Anyone who drives a snowmobile needs a valid Category B car licence and the physical card in their pocket. A phone photo is not accepted. Passengers on a shared machine do not need a licence. You do not need any ticket or qualification for the snowshoe half. The guide teaches that on the day. ### Where is Vikaköngäs and how hard is the walk? Vikaköngäs is a forest area used for the snowshoe half, away from the snowmobile trails you have just ridden. The guide chooses the line from snow and weather on the day, so the exact path is not fixed. It is a walk, not a mountain day. You should be comfortable moving outdoors in winter for a stretch after already riding. If you have a knee, hip or balance concern, tell us in advance so we can say whether the walk is a good idea. ### Is pickup included? Yes, from hotels, apartments and holiday rentals within 17 km of Rovaniemi city centre, with drop-off on the same radius. You can also start from the office on Kansankatu. Because the day has two locations, a clear pickup address helps us keep the transfers tight. If you are staying farther out than 17 km, please make your own way to the office. ### Can I drive a snowmobile on my own? Twin driving is included. Solo driving is an extra, arranged at the office before the ride. The snowshoe half is on foot for everyone, so a solo machine only applies to the first part of the day. If you want your own snowmobile, mention that when you arrive so we can match the fleet to the group of two or more. ### What should I wear for both halves? We provide thermal overalls, boots, gloves, a helmet and a balaclava for the ride, and snowshoes for the walk. Wear thermal base layers and thick socks underneath, because you will be outside for several hours across two activities. A spare pair of gloves helps when you switch from handlebars to snowshoe straps. The outer kit is shared across the day, so dress so you can stay warm when the engines stop and the walk begins. ### What if there are only two of us? Two is the minimum for this outing to run, so a couple or a pair of friends is enough. You still get the same briefing, the same riding time and the same snowshoe walk as a fuller group. If your plans change and you drop to one person, contact us. A single guest cannot hold the day on their own under the current setup. ### What about damage to the snowmobile? The driver is responsible for repair costs up to a stated maximum per machine. An optional self-liability waiver can be bought at the office before you start, and that lowers the maximum if you choose it. Travel insurance that covers snowmobiling and winter activities is recommended. The snowshoe half has no machine liability, but the same insurance is still useful for a day outdoors in Arctic conditions. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://wp.adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/2a7afaf3-6084-484e-bf07-4e634605d9b9-1-scaled.jpeg - **Gallery image count**: 6 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
