What you'll do

Experience the wild nature of the arctic in a totally unique way, as you hop on a snowmobile and drive off into the forest. Enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way as you drive through conifer forests and frozen marshlands, until you stop for a moment to enjoy a hot drink in complete silence. Have you ever been in a place this quiet before?

Ready to drive to the winter fairytale? The snowmobiles can take you to some phenomenal places – making it possible for you to witness nature’s beauty at it’s best. Meet at the Apukka reception (at least 10 minutes before the start time of your experience) and then head out into the wilderness where you’ll meet your guide.

After a quick lesson in how to safely use your snowmobile, it’s time to start your adventure as you cruise into the wilderness, drinking in the magical scenery and enjoying the thrill of zipping through the snow-covered forest.

Stop for a hot drink at the furthest point from civilisation on your tour, enjoying the sensation of complete quiet on an essential part of any family holiday in Lapland.

Apukka

As you might expect in Finnish Lapland, the story of our Resort started from ice, and the first people living in the area were Sámi. They lived in small communities as nomads, following the fish and game along the coast and inland.

Standing right on the banks of the Olkka river, the resort started its life as a research station and in 2017 the current owners, a brave and innovative team began the project of creating a unique new resort, first building ice cabins and offering Northern Lights excursions, the project quickly became a full-service resort – and they found themselves in the kitchen baking cinnamon rolls and cooking dinners for their guests!

As you might expect in Finnish Lapland, the story of our Resort started from ice, and the first people living in the area were Sámi. They lived in small communities as nomads, following the fish and game along the coast and inland.

Standing right on the banks of the Olkka river, the resort started its life as a research station and in 2017 the current owners, a brave and innovative team began the project of creating a unique new resort, first building ice cabins and offering Northern Lights excursions, the project quickly became a full-service resort – and they found themselves in the kitchen baking cinnamon rolls and cooking dinners for their guests!

The resort has led them to an expedition of a lifetime – the countless new skills learned, unforgettable encounters witnessed and the transformation journey make them feel both proud and grateful of the path they’ve chosen and each guest is welcomed as a dear friend.

With our adventures based on our premises, we take great pride in providing authentic and memorable experiences for our guests. From the very essence of this country’s soul to more modern ways of exploring the vast wilderness around us, we have something for everyone.

FAQs

The driver of a snowmobile must be at least 18 years old and in possession of a driving license valid in Finland.

The snowmobile driver is held liable for any damages caused to the vehicle.

Children under 15 years old are seated in a sled behind the guide’s snowmobile. We highly recommend one of the parents sit with a small child in the sled for the child’s comfort and safety. Parents, please consider if this activity is suitable for your small children due to outdoor stay and cold conditions.

If a child over 140 cm wishes to sit in a snowmobile as a passenger, a full adult price will be charged. In this case, you need to book the child as an adult!
