SNOWMOBILE TOUR TO STORFORSEN RAPIDS

A snowmobile ride from Vidsel to one of Scandinavia's most powerful rapids

SNOWMOBILE TOUR TO STORFORSEN RAPIDS

Join us on a snowmobile trip from Vidsel to the Storforsen rapids, one of Scandinavia's most powerful natural wonders. The route runs through forest trails and open country in northern Sweden. You get a peaceful ride with many photo stops, and you have time to take in Arctic nature. There is no rush, because you ride in your own group with an experienced guide.

Route and Duration

Route: Vidsel → forest trails → Storforsen → Vidsel

Total duration: 2-3 hours

Walking distance: approx. 150 m to the viewpoints

Start time: arranged individually (recommended: 10:00)
If the weather is bad, the guide may choose another route.

Groups and requirements

Passengers:

  • minimum age: 6
  • children travel with a parent or the guide, so they are never alone on a snowmobile

Number of participants: 1 to 8 guests

Drivers:

  • minimum age: 18
  • valid category A or B driving licence (EU or international)
  • positive assessment of skills during training, before we set off

The guide always adjusts the route and pace to your group, and we choose the safest route when children ride with us.


Training and safety

Each tour begins with a short, individual briefing:

  • snowmobile operation and riding rules
  • a test ride on flat terrain
  • a short test route before the tour starts

On the route, we carry GPS, an intercom, a first-aid kit and emergency supplies. We also check every route regularly and register it with the base before departure.


Comfort included

The tour price includes:

  • snowmobiles with heated handlebars and footrests
  • warm winter suits
  • helmets, goggles, gloves, and balaclavas
  • fuel
  • supervision by a local guide

Toilets:

  • available on site
  • but in extreme cold they may close for a while

Weather and cancellation policy

We ride in most weather, so the guide adjusts the route and the number of breaks to the conditions. In extreme conditions (strong wind, snowstorm, low visibility), we move or cancel the tour.

In such cases:

  • we first offer you a new date
  • if no new date suits you → you receive a full refund, including the deposit
  • if the tour stops because of the guests’ own fault → no refund

What to bring

  • high winter boots above the ankle
  • warm socks
  • thermal underwear

Below -11°C, you must wear an additional clothing layer. If you do not have proper footwear, the guide may end the tour, and in that case there is no refund.
