Levi Summit Snowmobile Safari — Single Drivers Only, Views to Sweden, January to April
Why this is the most exclusive snowmobile safari in Levi
- The only snowmobile safari to the summit of Levi fell
- Single drivers only — technically the most demanding route we offer
- Views to the Swedish border on clear days from the summit at 531 m
- Passes through Kätkätunturi and Pyhätunturi mountain areas before the final climb
- Available January to April, subject to fell conditions
- Private land sections before the climb — deeper wilderness than any standard safari
Snowmobile ascent to the summit of Levi fell
The safari house is in a private forest clearing just minutes from Levi. What begins as a quiet, familiar departure point becomes something else entirely once the route climbs. The trail runs on public marked snowmobile trails and sections of privately owned land before the terrain starts to rise in earnest, passing through the Kätkätunturi and Pyhätunturi mountain areas toward the summit of Levi fell.
This safari operates with single drivers only. The summit ascent and descent demand full attention and full control — no passengers, no shared machines. Every rider is alone with the machine and the fell. On the way up, the forest gives way to open fell. On the descent, the fell drops steeply back into the trees below. It is technically the most demanding route we offer, and the most rewarding for the right rider.
At the summit, on a clear day, the view extends all the way to the Swedish border. The scale of Lapland from that height is not something you can replicate anywhere else on the ground. A midway stop at a private kota or wilderness café — grilled sausage or a snack, hot drink — breaks the climb before the final push.
Available from January onwards, subject to snow and fell conditions. The guide confirms suitability on the day. Summit riding is not guaranteed and may be replaced with the extended fell route if conditions do not allow the final ascent.
Who this is for
- Experienced single drivers only — no passengers or shared machines
- Those who want the most technically demanding and visually rewarding safari we offer
- Riders comfortable with steep ascents and descents in open fell conditions

Disclaimer — Snowmobile Safaris
Damage to snowmobiles: All snowmobiles are insured as required by Finnish law, subject to the Finnish Motor Liability Insurance Act. Clients are liable for damage caused to snowmobiles. The tour price includes accident insurance with a maximum deductible of €950 per driver. The deductible can be reduced to €350 by purchasing a waiver (€35) at the time of booking or in the office before departure. If the driver does not follow the Finnish Road Traffic Act or guide’s instructions, all damages must be paid in full — waivers and deductibles do not apply.
Personal injuries: Snowmobile programs can be physically demanding. Snowmobiling is not recommended for pregnant women or people with back or hip problems. Guests with heart disease, asthma, diabetes, epilepsy or other relevant conditions should consult a medical professional before participating. Each participant is personally responsible for assessing their ability to take part. Comprehensive travel insurance is strongly recommended.
Driver’s licence: Finnish law requires snowmobile drivers to be at least 18 years old and hold a valid driving licence accepted in Finland. Accepted licences: categories B, T, A1 or A issued in EU/EEA countries or countries party to the Geneva or Vienna Conventions, or otherwise officially recognised by Finland. Electronic licences are not officially accepted. A licence issued in a country not recognised by Finland is not valid for driving a snowmobile — the holder may only participate as a passenger.
Alcohol and drugs: Tolerance is zero. Finnish law strictly prohibits driving a snowmobile under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Drivers may be breathalysed before departure. Participation will be denied if under the influence; no refund applies.
Speed and trails: The official speed limit for snowmobiles in Finland is 60 km/h. Driving is only permitted on marked trails. Please bring your driving licence — police patrols operate on snowmobile tracks.
STG reserve the right to adjust routes, schedules or durations due to weather, safety or participant health. STG may discontinue the safari if a participant is considered a danger to themselves or others or is in poor health.
