Activity Holiday Insurance

Snow Mobiling

A snowmobile or snow scooter is a powered land vehicle, similar in profile to a large motorbike, which is propelled by one or two rubber tracks, and with skis for steering. They are designed to be operated on snow and ice, and require no road or trail. Most snowmobiles are generally powered by a two-stroke gasoline/petrol internal combustion engine. They can achieve speeds up to about 70 mph in optimum conditions. Popular as a holiday activity especially in north America, Scandinavia and Arctic lands, enthusiasts can experience snow safaris of several days duration. You are shown how to drive the vehicles by experienced guides before setting off through forests, across frozen lakes, icy tundra. You may stay overnight in cosy wilderness huts and perhaps take in some ice fishing on the way. Daily distances between 70-100 kms can be achieved, depending on the weather conditions and the skills of the participants.

Other forms of snowmobiling holiday can be combined with alpine and cross-country skiing, dog and reindeer sledging.
