Snowmobile safaris and experiences

Welcome to enjoy a unique snowmobiling experience in Pyhä, Finland

Experience unforgettable snowmobiling in the stunning winter landscapes of Lapland, where snowy fells and forests set the backdrop for your adventure. Pyhä-Luosto is the perfect destination for this exciting activity. Explore the world of snowmobiling under the guidance of our skilled guides and experience the magic of winter from the seat of a snowmobile.

Both Pyhä's and Luosto's snowmobile trails are interconnected, and well-maintained trails offer options for riders of all levels, from beginners to more experienced ones. In the Pyhä-Luosto area, you'll find over 300 km of trails suitable for day trips. You can continue from Pyhä-Luosto to Sodankylä, Rovaniemi, Kemijärvi, or even Savukoski. However, we recommend planning longer day trips carefully, as the nearest refueling point is in Pyhä (K-Market Pyhätunturi) and the next ones are in municipal centers. Additionally, it's advisable for snowmobilers to have the 112 application downloaded, which helps emergency services locate those in need of assistance.

You can view Pyhä-Luosto's snowmobile trails on the digital map, along with their latest maintenance information. The map also indicates marked snowmobile tracks, some of which are a separate permit routes. In Pyhä-Luosto, permit for the Huttujärvi route can be obtained from the Naava Nature Center or through the Eraluvat.fi service.

Announcement 12.2.2026:
Metsähallitus has decided to close the Huttujärvi trail entirely for this season due to safety reasons. Signs will be placed at the trail entry points.
