While you are driving the snowmobile, you will be accompanied by professional photographers, who will assist you with both setting up your camera and taking pictures for you with their own high-quality cameras. Sit around the fire, and enjoy a traditional reindeer sausage and hot blueberry juice.

Our photographers will help you with settings, composition, and lighting for you to take the best picture. At the end of the tour, you will be able to keep all the HD pictures taken by our photographers.

You will ride the snowmobile in pairs (twin riding), a driver and a passenger on each snowmobile, with the opportunity to switch during the ride. Before the tour you can buy a solo driving option.
