Ice Karting Race and Snowmobile Safari in Lapland

Start the activity with the qualifying rounds for the Karting on Ice Open Race. Set your best lap time and secure your starting position. Combine karting on ice and snowmobiling, the two most exhilarating safaris that Lapland has to offer.
After the qualifying rounds, take a break around the open fire, where you can enjoy hot beverages.
When everyone is ready, start the race with the assistance of a Rovaniemi tour guide. Be the fastest and finish ahead of your colleagues, friends, or family. During the karting session, children who can't reach the karts' pedals can enjoy the mini snowmobiles.
After the race, it is time for the snowmobiling safari. Your Rovaniemi guide will take you through the frozen river valley and snow-covered forests. The guide will show you how to safely operate the snowmobiles and teach you everything you need or want to know about snowmobiling.

Know before you go

Please be at the tour office 20 minutes before the starting time.
The meeting time for the safaris is always before the safari starting time. The safari begins when the group is clothed and ready to go. The rest of the group will not be kept waiting for customers arriving late. If you arrive late, you risk missing the safari with no refund.
The minimum height for driving the kart is 140 cm, and it is suitable for children aged at least nine years old.
The driver of a snowmobile must be at least 18 years old and hold a valid driver's license - A1, T, A, or B category (please check that it is valid in Finland!).
The track is private and 500-550 m long, with high-speed straights and tight corners for drifting. There are plenty of spots for overtaking. When the track was built, sharp corners and faster straights were given extra care. Snow walls are made to protect from damage and injuries if a kart ends up outside the track. Spectators have limited access to the track and observe from a safe distance. The track is designed to optimize the driving experience for customers.
The ice karts are powerful winter go-karts with silent four-stroke engines and studded winter tires with spikes. High-quality German-made karts, RIMO EVO6 and RIMO ALPHA2, with four-stroke HONDA engines, are used to ensure the best quality for customers. Every year, the ice track is rebuilt and improvements are made.
For snowmobile safaris, the experience, knowledge, and use of professional safety gear ensure the safety of every participant. To provide performance, the newest snowmobile models of the locally made Lynx brand are used. For driving comfort, quality clothing, gloves, and safety gear are provided. The local guides have wide knowledge of the area and years of experience to ensure customers stay safe and enjoy the safari to the fullest.
A child travelling as a passenger on the snowmobile pays the adult price. The child rate applies when a child is travelling in a sledge.
The single driving supplement ensures one person drives alone on the snowmobile.
Snowmobiles are insured as required by Finnish law. This insurance covers medical care for injuries to the driver and passenger arising from accidents, and liability for damage caused to the snowmobile up to 980 € per accident. Self-liability can be reduced to 150 € by paying a waiver supplement of 15 € per driver per safari.
The tour provider reserves the right to change the price, program, inclusions, and duration of the tour due to weather conditions and unexpected occurrences.
