Harriniva snowmobile safari

 Come and enjoy the fascinating beauty of the Lapp nature on our Snowmobile Safari on the Arctic Trail!

 Driving the snowmobile is an excellent way of getting to know the wintry wilds and vast landscape of Lapland.

 The participants are provided with full equipment and safety regulations are always given before starting the engines.

 The routes are planned with environmental considerations in mind, as many trails go through National Parks and

 fragile terrain. In this largest wilderness area of Europe, you will find virtually no man-made structures. The cozy

 alpine village of Kilpisjärvi is surrounded by some of the highest mountains and highlands in Finland. Saana, the

 holy mountain of the Laplanders, 1029 meters above the sea level. You can still find genuine Lappish culture and

 reindeer herding in this region. Halti, the highest peak in Finland, waits for you to conquer it's hillsides by snowmobile.
