Join an afternoon snowmobile tour from Tromsø to Skibotn Valley. Take turns driving through snowy forests and open Arctic winter landscapes.

General information

This tour is operated by Activenorth.

After a safety briefing and introduction to handling the snowmobile, you will head out into the winter landscape. Two guests share each snowmobile and take turns driving along the way, giving both the opportunity to experience being behind the handlebars.

The route takes you through snow-covered forests and into open winter landscapes surrounded by mountains. There will be stops along the way, giving you time to take photographs and enjoy the surroundings.

The snowmobile ride itself lasts approximately 60 minutes. In total, you will spend around 3.5 hours at the camp, including preparations, instructions, snowmobiling, refreshments and time to relax.

During December and early January, the tour takes place in darkness. If conditions are favourable, there may also be an opportunity to see the Northern Lights.

About Activenorth

Activenorth’s people are a family of five. We live in Skibotn, where we have built our own house, as well as the dog kennel, on Tomas’ family farm.


It all began with one dog named Grace in 2007, and today we have around 30 dogs. We have been running dog sledding tours for tourists since 2008, but this year we are starting a new chapter in our own backyard.



Over the years, we have competed in the world’s longest eight-dog race nine times. We have taken part in races across Finland, Sweden and along the border with Russia.



These incredible dogs have never let us down – not during blizzards, in temperatures as low as -45°C, on difficult trails or in whiteout conditions.



The dogs are our family’s passion, and the children are always included when we race.
