4.00My third tour with this company. Again, it was a lot of fun. A good experience to have had. After awhile, zigzagging across the frozen lake got a bit monotonous,
Highly recommended 👌

5.00Across from Santa’s Village next to Ice Karting is a shop with some super rad snowmobile guides. No reason to bring gear they have EVERYTHING no extra charge. We had a cool young woman take us out snowmobiling on some trails and made a stop on a lake to take some incredible photos. Didn’t really get cold thanks to the helmet and cold weather gear making this experience just perfect. Plan your day knowing ice karting, snowmobiling and Santa’s Village are all within extremely close proximity you don’t even need to relocate your vehicle. Thanks for the memories we had a wonderful time!!!
Great ride with guide Mikko

5.00Beautiful snowmobile hike, in the forest, on a lake... We were guided very well by Yohan who adapts to the preferences of the group by asking if we prefer more photo moments or more driving moments. Everything went very well, from the pick up in the city center to the return and we are also very well equipped not to be cold.
Perfect.

5.00It was a great experience. The scenery was beautiful. Riding a snowmobile was a lot of fun. A special thanks goes to our excellent and very nice tour guide Michael, who also encouraged me to ride on the snowmobile myself. Thanks to his professional accompaniment, I had put my fear behind me and really enjoyed the tour.
spectacular experience and scenery

5.00A great experience, our guide Mikko pending at all times and knowing how to adapt to the circumstances. We went with an 11-year-old boy who had a great time.The great company at first explained us the bike rides and the signs an Italian (sorry for not remembering the name) in Spanish to make it easier for us to understand.Then the boy rode in minibikes and the boy in charge of this all the time pending my son which is very appreciated.We recommend it without a doubt.
Definitely worth the visit but need to split group to experience and non experience

4.00Well organised but as experienced users of snow mobiles we had to stop every few hundred meters for stragglers. Which made our experience quite boring, we were rearranged so we were at the back so we could leave a gap and then have a fast run on the straights, disappointed not to get onto a lake to open up the throttle, think there should be an option even with older children above 140cm for experienced drivers, as this is our second time in two years we had to stop for non confident drivers.
