    Description

    This safari gives us all necessary skills needed to drive a snowmobile in a guided group. Perfect for people who want to try out driving with a snowmobile for the first time! Before we start our guide gives us a full safety briefing and introductions for driving. After the short lesson we head out and drive a short route through snowy landscapes. We make stops to take pictures and memorize the moment among the trees. During the safari we will stop for a break with coffee / tea and a sweet bun. After this activity you are ready to join more demanding trips with snowmobiles.
