What To Expect
Our adventure takes us to the picturesque village of Kilpisjärvi, Lapland. After a two-hour scenic drive from Tromsø, we’ll arrive in Kilpisjärvi and gear up with warm, protective clothing. Following a safety briefing, you’ll hop on a snowmobile and begin exploring this wintry wonderland. While the 3-Country Border is a highlight, the route may change based on weather, snow conditions, and safety. We may also explore scenic spots like Saana Mountain, frozen lakes, or wilderness huts. This adventure emphasizes the beauty of Finnish Lapland’s landscapes over speed, with terrain ranging from flat frozen lakes to rugged trails. Along the way, we’ll pause to enjoy the scenery, take photos, and — for those sharing — switch drivers. Lapland’s weather adds to the adventure. Conditions can be challenging, so dressing warmly is essential. The tour is guided, and drivers must follow safety rules and are responsible for any damages to the snowmobiles. If you’re ready to embrace the Arctic wilderness and appreciate the beauty of Finnish Lapland, this snowmobile tour offers the perfect blend of excitement and wonder.

Fantastic excursion - highly recommend

5.00I was initially concerned that due to all the other excursions being fully booked I ended up with this one which was much more expensive. However, it was worth every penny. It is by far the best excursion I have ever been on. Super well organised, very engaging hosts/guides who were chilled and fun but very safety conscious. I can’t actually think of anything negative to say about the trip. The advice provide me throughout the day, the fact that the excursion included photos is very important and not offered by other companies. What you don’t realise is that in temperatures of -35 your phone won’t work and so you really do need someone there to take photos! Also their photos were of a much higher standard than anything I could have taken. When you are driving a snowmobile you can’t stop and take pictures and you really can’t take your gloves off and expose your skin to -35. We had a particularly cold day. All in all a fantastic excursion and I highly recommend (and I am quite hard to please)!

5.00Bailey, Jefta, Marius, Patryk & the Team at Chasing Lights what can we say! This is one of the best snowmobiling trips we've ever done! Everything was excellent from the warm, comfortable bus ride to our starting point to you very helpful and knowledgeable guides who took great care of us. The scenery was amazing as we cruised over varied terrains to reach the iconic 3-country border (where Finland, Sweden, and Norway meet). The whole experience had a great vibe, and the food and drinks along the way were delicious too. Also what a bonus to get such fantastic photos to remember the trip by. Highly recommend - 5☆
It's a must-do.

5.00Extraordinary. We leave from Tromso to Finland. Then we take possession of our snow bikes after being equipped with warm clothes. The snowmobile raid is on a lake and through forests for more than 4 hours. The attendants are very attentive, prepared a snack and then a meal. They are not only very professional but also very fun. They know lots of anecdotes about the surroundings. In short, an excursion not to be missed.
This is the trip that you need to book!

5.00Absolutely stunning! The trip started very nicely but by the end we encountered such a big snowstorm, it was astonishing! Couldn’t see anything around but the guides made everything feel safe, looked after everyone and made this experience one of a kind for us!❤️
Snowbike -> bus tour 💸

1.00Be careful, going to Finland does not mean crossing the border by snowmobile but by bus. 2h30 outbound trip and 2h30 return trip, it is better to pay a bus ticket and book snowmobiles on site. No excuse nothing, considering the price of the activity it is shameful, it is the most expensive bus I took in my life!
Must do!

5.00We did the snowmobile experience with Chasing lights on Saturday, December 20, 2025 and would absolutely recommend. It is definitely an early start, but it's the only way the whole day is possible with the amount of light you have during this time of year. It was approximately a 2 hour drive to get to the snowmobiles. Our guide was Jefta. As we got closer to the location he was so kind and didn't just throw the bus lights on after we'd been in the dark for 2 hours. He slowly woke us up. As silly as it sounds, that made me so happy. I hate when people just throw the lights on. There were 15 people in our group, which was a good number. I don't think I would want to go with anymore. There are 3 good size restrooms at the property when you arrive. I recommend using them when you arrive before you put on all of your warm gear. They provide suits, boots, mittens, face masks, socks and helmets for you. Those are the basic words for them, but they are some intense warm items. I recommend using them all. Even with 3 layers of tops and pants on underneath and 3 pair of socks, my fingers and toes still got a little cold. After that you are briefed on how to use the snowmobile. Off you go. We did see reindeer from a distance. Once you arrive at the 3 country mark you get off and take photos, eat lunch, have a drink, can use nature for a bathroom if needed. I read mixed reviews about the stew that was provided for lunch. I'm a very picky person, so honestly didn't think I would eat it, but it was actually really good. I might have eaten 1/3 of the amount provided, so it is definitely a hearty portion. There were cookies and black current tea. At this point if you want to change drivers you can. Then you head back to basecamp. I read several reviews that they didn't feel like their time was long enough. I really feel like we were at the property about 4 hours from start to finish. It was a full day and we were glad we didn't have anything else booked that night before we were tired. I don't really know what else people could want from this experience. You go, see, experience and leave. It is definitely a pricey day, but worth every penny. We went back and forth on sharing snowmobiles or getting our own, ultimately we shared, but I think if we had to do it again we would just spent the money and gotten our own, when will you ever do this again? Also, Jefta was great. He was so kind and patient with everyone in our group when the rest of us didn't want to be. :). We received our professional photos before we were even back to our hotel that evening from dinner.
100% must do!
