Choosing between two snowmobile safaris should be exciting, not stressful. If you are planning a winter trip to Levi in 2026 and wondering whether the Lapp Tent snowmobile safari in Levi or the Fast and Easy snowmobile safari is the right fit, you are in the right place. Both are beginner-friendly daily departures that we run from our base in the heart of Levi, and both deliver a genuine taste of Lapland wilderness. The difference comes down to atmosphere, scenery, and where you stop along the way.
What the Two Safaris Share
Before diving into the differences, it helps to understand just how much these two programmes have in common. Both cover approximately 25 kilometres through Lapland’s snow-covered landscape, both last around 2.5 hours, and both depart twice daily at 10:00 and 13:30. Neither requires previous snowmobile experience, so first-time riders are genuinely welcome on either route.
Pricing is also identical across both safaris. Adults sharing a snowmobile pay €119 per person, while adults who prefer to drive solo pay €154 per person. Children under 12 join for €84 per person. The sharing price applies when two adults ride together on one machine, which is a popular choice for couples or friends who want to take turns at the handlebars without paying the full solo rate.
What Happens on the Lapp Tent Safari
The Lapp Tent safari takes you through dense, snow-laden forest before arriving at our own private traditional Lapp tent beside a frozen lake. The setting is deliberately quiet and remote-feeling, designed to give you a real sense of Lapland’s vast, unhurried wilderness. Once you arrive at the tent, you gather around an open campfire where we serve a warm drink and a sweet snack.
This is the safari to choose if atmosphere and a sense of place matter most to you. The tent stop encourages you to slow down, breathe in the cold air, and take in the silence of the Arctic forest. It is a particularly popular choice for those who want photographs that feel authentically Lappish rather than touristy.
What Happens on the Fast and Easy Safari
The Fast and Easy snowmobile safari in Levi follows a different kind of landscape. Your route circles Kätkä Fell, passing through forests and across open frozen marshlands, which gives the ride a slightly more varied visual character. The stop is at Hanhipirtti, a former lumberjack’s cabin that has been welcoming travellers for generations and carries its own rustic charm.
At Hanhipirtti, you stop for coffee in a setting that feels lived-in and storied rather than purpose-built for tourism. If you enjoy the idea of a historically rooted rest stop with a strong local character, this safari delivers that alongside the same quality of snowmobile riding.

As you can see, the practical framework is identical. Your decision really comes down to which stop and which landscape character appeals to you more.
Which Experience Fits Your Group
Think about what your group values most from a winter experience. If you are travelling as a couple looking for a romantic, atmospheric moment in the wilderness, the Lapp Tent safari tends to resonate more deeply. The lakeside setting and campfire create a natural pause that feels genuinely special rather than hurried.
If your group enjoys a sense of local history and prefers varied terrain, the Fast and Easy safari around Kätkä Fell offers open marshland views alongside forest riding, and the Hanhipirtti cabin adds a layer of cultural texture to the stop. Families with children often find both routes equally engaging, since the duration and distance are manageable for younger riders travelling as passengers.
Neither safari is universally better. Both are routes we are proud to run, and both consistently deliver the kind of Lapland memory that stays with visitors long after they return home.
