We start the day on a 1h snowmobile safari with adults on the snowmobile and children travelling safely in sledges. After the traditional snowmobile safari, it is time for children’s snowmobile driving. Children of all ages love to play in the snow, but we also need to keep them warm and comfy, so there will be some time to relax in our cozy wooden safari house, around a warm beverage and marshmallows!
The younger family members get to drive children snowmobiles on a safe track under supervision. These vehicles also have a dedicated track and are just what young girls and boys dream of – a replica of an adult snowmobile, but lighter.
The ultimate family experience!
* The guides will advise on spot which model of the children’s snowmobile each child can use. Age but also height and physique are determining factors for choice of right vehicle for the children.
Total program is approximately 3,5h. 2,5h is the actual time of the excursion.

Snowmobile safaris:
The driver of a snowmobile must be at least 18 years of age and have a valid driver’s license in immediate possession.
Children travel in a sledge pulled by the guide’s snowmobile. In case a child prefers to travel as a passenger of a snowmobile, he / she must be tall enough to reach the handles and treads and strong enough to hold on tight. When a child travels on the snowmobile and not in a sledge pulled by a snowmobile, adult price (2 person / snowmobile) applies.
The snowmobiles and you as the snowmobile driver or passenger are covered by our insurance. The self-liability on damage of snowmobiles is max. 1 500 € / snowmobile. With a self-liability waiver (20 €) you reduce the self-liability to max 350€ / snowmobile. Every safari starts with instructions on driving and safety.
