The land of Northern lights, evening snowmobiling in the taiga forest<\/h1>\n<\/h1>\n
\n

When sun sets and the winter forest is covered in blue light we head out with our snowmobiles. This tour heads into the quiet and dark forests where, if\u202fwe\u202fare lucky,\u202f we\u202fcan see the northern lights above us.<\/p>\n

During the tour we will stop for a break in a traditional\u202fkota\u202fteepee and enjoy coffee by an open fire as\u202four\u202fguide tells\u202fus\u202fabout the stars. You can enjoy your hot drink outside and marvel at the stars above and possible dancing lights.<\/p>\n

Even if the northern lights would not show themselves the experience of driving in the dark forest is something to remember!<\/p>\n
