Recent visitors have found these tours to be incredible experiences when visiting Norway:

• Snowmobile Adventure
• Midday Snowmobiling in Camp Tamok with Guide

Absolutely. Snowmobiling in this area of Scandinavia is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. You can visit the 3-country border, warm up with a delicious lunch and hot drinks in Kilpisjarvi, play in snow-covered mountains, and take beautiful photos on your journey.

A Tromso snowmobile excursion costs between US$225 and US$345 per person, depending on the length of the trip and the additional experiences you want to have. Luckily, most tours include gear and apparel, saving you the money you would have spent on rentals.

Dress in layered warm winter clothing to remove layers as needed. Your tour company will provide you with your outerwear—a thermal suit, boots, socks, mittens, and balaclava, as well as your safety items, such as a face mask and helmet.

If you wish to have a genuinely epic Arctic holiday, you can add a Northern Lights tour to your snowmobile tour and experience both excursions on the same day. The months between November and March have the best visibility, so plan your visit during the winter season.

Tromso snowmobile tours include everything you need for a winter adventure: all of your necessary gear—including your warm outer clothing and safety gear—the use of an insured snowmobile, services of a professional English-speaking guide, and a warm meal.

Before booking your snowmobiling tour, know that tours are weather-dependent. Flexibility in your schedule is helpful, as is booking earlier in your trip, which allows you time for a second chance if you need to rebook. Also, temperatures can drop below freezing, especially in January and February, though most outfitters will hook you up with winter-weather gear. Lastly, bring your driver’s license.

If your snowmobiling company doesn’t hook you up with gear or you want extra, wear thermal base layers and bring along a thin balaclava to tuck under your helmet—staying warm makes the experience much more enjoyable. And if you have a camera you don’t need to fumble around with, ideally something small like a GoPro, that’ll make the experience seamless, too.

Simply put, Tromso’s prime snowmobiling months are January, February, and early-to-mid March. That’s when the snow is typically its deepest and most reliable, and the trails are well-maintained and groomed. The holidays around Christmas can be good, too, but crowds and prices tend to peak then—you’ll get a better, cheaper experience by waiting for January.
