Vroom, vroom! Delve deep into the dark Arctic wilderness on a quest for the Northern Lights on this 3-hour evening snowmobile experience from Levi.

Wrap up cozily and start your experience with a pickup from your hotel in or near Levi. Then, board your minivan or coach and travel to the starting point of your snowmobile ride.
Be welcomed by your guide and receive a safety briefing and instructions on riding your 2-person snowmobile. Put on a supplied thermal suit and helmet and, once you feel comfortable, take off into the surrounding forests.
Skim along winding trails through the snowy pine trees and feel the chill Arctic air on your face as you cruise through the darkness, lit only by your headlights and, if the night is clear, a moonlit sky. Speed over gentle slopes, whizz over frozen lakes, and weave between wintery fields and Narnia-like woodlands. Feel free also to take turns to drive or ride pillion so you enjoy the experience every which way.
As you ride, look for the Northern Lights, also known as the Aurora Borealis, overhead. Only visible in far northern latitudes, this natural wonder is triggered by magnetic storms that create incandescent ribbons of green, yellow, red and violet in the sky. Sightings can never be guaranteed, as they’re dependent on weather, location and chance, but your guide will seek out the most promising viewpoints. With a clear night and a little luck, there’s a good chance of sightings.
Around midway through your experience, stop for a hot drink and tasty sausages cooked up over a crackling campfire. Feel the warmth flow through your body and then follow the snowy trails back to the original starting point. Your experience then finishes with a drop-off back at your hotel.
