Snowmobile Safari 2h from Snow Resort Kirkenes

This 2‑hour snowmobile tour begins at Snow Resort Hotel and includes hotel pickup from Thon or Scandic in Kirkenes. After a short transfer, you'll receive safety instructions and be equipped with insulated gear including a thermal suit, helmet, and boots.
