Snowmobile Tours in the Tromsø Region

Explore the snow-covered landscapes around Tromsø on a guided snowmobile tour. Routes vary between tours and may take you through valleys, forests and mountain landscapes, with views of frozen rivers and the surrounding Arctic nature.

What happens on a snowmobile tour?

Most tours begin with instructions on how to operate the snowmobile, followed by a safety briefing. An experienced guide leads the group and accompanies you throughout the tour.

Two people usually share a snowmobile, with one person driving and the other travelling as a passenger. You will often have the opportunity to change places during the tour. Some activities also offer solo driving or the option to travel as a passenger for the entire journey.

Can I drive a snowmobile?

You normally need a valid driving licence to drive a snowmobile. Age limits and driving-licence requirements vary between tours, so check the individual tour description carefully before booking.

If you do not meet the requirements or prefer not to drive, look for a tour that allows you to participate as a passenger.

Which snowmobile tour is right for you?

Tours vary in duration, destination and level of difficulty. Some focus mainly on driving and the surrounding landscapes, while others include additional activities, a warm meal or time around an open fire.

Daytime tours offer views of the Arctic winter landscape and its blue and pink seasonal light. On an evening tour, you may be lucky enough to see the northern lights, but sightings can never be guaranteed.

Check the tour description for information about transfers, driving time, physical requirements and what is included.

What should you wear?

Snowmobile tours can be cold, particularly when the vehicle is moving. Wear warm layers, preferably woollen base layers, as well as a hat and gloves.

A thermal suit, boots and helmet are often provided. Check the individual tour description to see what is included and whether you need to bring any additional clothing or equipment.
