Scenic Cruise

Head out. Be here. Bring home the story.

THE EXPERIENCE

Your day in the north.

Come and meet our winter playground! We’ll get you settled on your snowmobile, then head out from Äkäslompolo into a forest dressed for the season. Follow your guide between the trees, feel the snow beneath the tracks and watch the landscape open up around you.

The snow-laden trees around Kuertunturi are a favourite of ours. We call them “popcorn trees”—one look at their wonderfully odd shapes and you’ll see why. There’s plenty to take in, whether you’re at the handlebars or sharing the ride.

Scenic Cruise is a lovely way to discover snowmobiling in Ylläs and get a taste of the adventures waiting beyond the village. Let’s head out!
