Why snowmobile safaris in Sälen are an unforgettable winter experience
Few winter activities combine the experience of nature, excitement and accessibility like a snowmobile safari in Sälen. You'll have the opportunity to explore areas that would otherwise be inaccessible in winter, while enjoying the fresh mountain air and spectacular views.
The Sälen mountains offer perfect conditions for snowmobiling with their varied landscape - from open spaces and frozen lakes to forested areas and high mountain peaks. The well-developed trail network means that even beginners can feel confident, while more experienced riders can find challenges to suit their level.
Many of our guests describe the snowmobile safari as the absolute highlight of the trip. The unique combination of nature experience and fast-paced adventure creates memories that stay with you for a long time. In addition, the snowmobile safari gives a sense of community when exploring the mountains together.
After a day on the snowmobile, our exclusive cabins await you where you can relax in a sauna, hot tub or in front of a crackling fire. To complete the experience, you can also arrange a private dinner with a chef who will prepare a delicious meal while you just relax.
“Coming home to the sauna and fireplace after a winter adventure in the mountains really made the whole experience complete. The combination of nature, activity and the comfort of the accommodation is something we will gladly return to.”

Good to know about driving licences and age limits
To drive a snowmobile during a guided snowmobile safari in Sälen, a valid driving licence of any category is sufficient.

Frequently asked questions about snowmobile safaris in Sälen
Do I need previous experience to participate in snowmobile safaris?
No, no previous experience is required to participate in our guided snowmobile safaris. Our professional guides give a thorough introduction to the driving technique before the tour starts and always adapt the pace to the ability of the group. You only need to have a valid driving licence to drive the scooter during the guided tour.
Can children take part in a snowmobile safari in Sälen?
Yes, children are welcome to participate as passengers on our family-friendly snowmobile safaris. Children from around 5 years old can travel as a passenger accompanied by an adult. For families with smaller children, some of our partners offer specially adapted tours with the possibility of transport in a sled. Safety always comes first, and helmets and safety equipment adapted for children are provided.
What happens if the weather is bad on the booked day?
Safety is our top priority on all snowmobile safaris. In the event of extremely bad weather such as heavy snowfall, storms or poor visibility, the tour may need to be adapted or, in rare cases, cancelled. In most cases, our experienced guides will find alternative routes that are sheltered from the weather, for example through forest terrain instead of open mountain expanses. You will always be informed well in advance of any changes, and in the event of cancellation you will be offered either a new time or a full refund.
How far in advance should I book my snowmobile safari?
We recommend booking your snowmobile safari in Sälen at least 3-4 weeks in advance during the high season (December-April), especially if you are a larger group or if you are planning to visit Sälen during the sports holidays. During these periods, demand is very high, and the most popular tours book up quickly. For off-season visits, 1-2 weeks notice may be sufficient, but we always recommend booking as early as possible to ensure availability.
