This unusual, exciting snowmobile tour is in the middle of Polar Night, the period the sun don't show it selves for two months. The few hours of daylight is like a bright twilight and paints the landscape in soft pastel colours; the Khibiny Mountains colours blue in a pink twilight. After that our world is plunged into darkness again.
During snowmobiling you experience that your way will be lighted by the reflection of the moon and many stars on the snow-covered slopes. Under favourable circumstances you will be guided by the dancing northern lights Aurora Borealis.
Watch Aurora Borealis by snowmobile! (2 days / 1 night)
