Northern Lights Sleigh Ride

This evening tour takes you to the beautiful wintery forest scenery of the Arctic Circle in the darkness of Finnish Lapland. Catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights from the comfortable sled pulled by your guide’s snowmobile.

First, you will drive away from the city lights of Rovaniemi to reach an area without light pollution. You will travel in a comfortable sled pulled by the guide’s snowmobile, covered by warm blankets. Given extra light by the white snow reflection, you follow the trails away from city lights and look for spots to admire the sky.

You can take photos during the tour. During the tour, you will make short stops in the nature. This tour is suitable for adults and children, and is recommended for those who do not have a valid driving license or prefer to not drive themselves.
