Snowmobile Tours
in Rovaniemi
Small groups, real Lapland terrain, and a guide who rides with you the whole way. Whether it's your first time on a snowmobile or you've ridden before, there's a tour here that fits.
More like going out with friends than joining a tour
PolarMax is a small Finnish family business based in Sinettä, a village 20 minutes north of Rovaniemi. We run snowmobile tours the way we'd want to be taken out ourselves — small groups, the same guide with you from start to finish, and routes that go where the city trails don't reach. Our guides have been riding these forests since they were young, and most days you won't see another group on the trail.
Group size is a hard cap, not an average. Usually 4 to 6 snowmobiles per tour, with one guide riding alongside the group rather than just leading from the front. If you've already been on a snowmobile somewhere closer to the city centre, you'll notice the difference within the first kilometre — fewer tracks, more space, and trails that actually go somewhere.
A snowmobile tour for most kinds of travellers
If you've never been on a snowmobile, our easier daytime tours are built for first-timers — the briefing is proper, the start is slow, and the pace picks up as the group settles in. Couples and friends travelling together can share a snowmobile and switch drivers at the breaks, or take a single each for a supplement.
A shared snowmobile is booked for two people. Travelling solo, or an odd number in the group? One person books a Single snowmobile — same machine, you just have the seat to yourself.
Families are welcome on the easier tours. Children and anyone under 140 cm ride in the covered, insulated sledge behind the guide, from the age of four. Passengers over 140 cm can ride on the back of a snowmobile.
For those wanting more time on the snowmobile or a private experience for just their own group, the longer and private tours go further out, with the same small-group philosophy.
To drive a snowmobile yourself, you must be at least 20 years old and hold a valid Category B driving licence. All tours are conducted in English.
