We did a snowmibile tour up a fell to see Northern lights. The track was very rough with holes and the creek. At one stage the snowmobile towing the sledge containing children got bogged. They had to disengage the sledge and the children get out abd walk while they went backwards and forwards to unbog the snowmobile. This really cheqed up the spot which we were theb told to go ahead. We are both only lught and the snowmibile tipped. We ended up in muddy water. As a result I have a swollen knee and ankle and heavy flu being wet and cold for the rest of the trip. Thank you to Axle for the lend of his glove. There should have been someone to follow as we were inexperienced all other mobiles required assistance. Really poorly done, others expressed their concern about safety. Worst experience of our trip, requires somine to lead group so they know where to go, assess safety of track, suitability and experience of riders. Now I am unwell for the rest of our trip
Very nice tour. We first did snowmobile safari followed by stop by the hut where we did some sausages and marshmallows over the open fire. Followed by snow mobile rides for the children.Our guide was Aino and she was very helpful and made every effort that we had a great time.She even drove us home after the trip, which was pleasent surprise with small children and cold weather.
Trip was fun, We as group had 6-8 km ride in tundra and woods to get to Fire and back. Since we were not expert snowmobile drives, plus at evening time riding was not as difficult but i guess not importantly not to hit a tree and being in group of 15 snowmobile . you need to pay attention to other and road. My wife and myself ride 2 different mobiles ( original was take away by other couple and I think I know why (warmer on steering wheel burn my hand : ) and i could not turn it off) so in way there some body had that issue and decided to switch) Ride was fun. i wish we had more open space to increase speed and have more fun. However my kids are did not enjoy as much as we did, My youngest was told to go to sled that attach to instructors snowmobile (that was company policy) and my oldest was told to share ride with stranger (who was not able to drive it after all so she made a mistake because she would drive in both direction) but because we had driven snow mobiles in Iceland ( where my kid was seated next to adult ), she in solidarity to little sister went in sled (which was freezing and butt crushing experience). As we ask for reason not allowing a teen to ride on back on mobile with a adult we were told as policy and price on tour for children not allow them to do it. as we told them we would pay a difference on way back to office. instructors told us the was no more snowmobile, So as a group we had different experiences and emotion about a organization
Awesome morning! It was just my partner and I so we ended up having a private tour. Thanks so much to Vema for an amazing experience!

Took the snowmobile tour with Vema and it exceeded our expectations. We met the guide at the Rovaniemi office and were driven to the site of the activity. The company provided us with warm clothing and helmets for the ride. Our guide gave us all the safety information and how to drive the snowmobiles and off we were! It was only us and another couple so it was almost like a private tour! Vema was a great guide and the trail was a blast!

We did our snowmobile ride thru Arctic Lifestyle. From their main office in Rovaniemi, we went to the snowmobile ride place in their vehicle. We were given a special dress there for the ride and were taken to where snowmobiles were parked.
The trainer girl was extremely enthusiastic. She explained us properly the snowmobile and its required functionalities. She was going to be in a different snowmobile that was going to be the first vehicle and our four vehicles were supposed to follow her in a queue (we were seven of us, so two per vehicle). She also told us the signals to be followed if we want to seek her attention, if we want to stop, etc.
When the ride started, she ensured that she pays attention to all four vehicles of ours and was very proficient at it. When any of our vehicles used to deviate, she immediately used to stop all of us, get that vehicle back on track and then restart the journey for all. When we reached at one end, she asked everyone to stop to take a break. By then we had become somewhat more comfortable and were enjoying the ride. She then asked everyone to take a U-turn and get into the return journey.
Track was very good. It was snow all around and trees by the side. We enjoyed this experience very much. Kudos to t he trainer and to Arctic Lifestyle
