Snowmobile Safari in Kiruna – Across Frozen Rivers & Arctic Wilderness
Snowmobile Safari in Kiruna – Across Frozen Rivers & Arctic Wilderness
A snowmobile safari in Kiruna is one of the most exhilarating ways to explore the vast Arctic wilderness. After a full safety briefing and gearing up in thermal clothing, you’ll set off through snow-covered forests, frozen swamps, and wide-open landscapes, riding far beyond public routes. Many safaris cross the frozen Torne River, leading to remote, scenic viewpoints that feel entirely untouched by modern life.
Led by experienced guides, the journey blends adventure with insight. Along the way, you may spot reindeer, moose, or fresh animal tracks in the snow, while learning about Sámi culture, reindeer herding traditions, and Arctic survival. Most tours include a warming break by an open fire, where you can enjoy traditional Swedish fika—hot drinks and something sweet—before heading back through the silent winter landscape. Evening departures add the possibility of riding under the Arctic night sky, with chances to glimpse the Northern Lights.
