What to know before a snowmobile tour

No previous experience is needed; guides give a short briefing before you set off, and most tours are run at a pace suitable for beginners.

Warm clothing is essential, since you are moving fast across an exposed, cold environment; most operators provide a snowsuit, helmet and gloves as part of the tour.

Tours can usually be booked for one or two riders per snowmobile, so check whether you want to drive or ride as a passenger when booking.

Snow conditions vary by season and glacier, so some routes run better at certain times of year; the operator will confirm what is available when you book.

Questions people ask

Do I need a driving licence to ride a snowmobile?

Yes, a valid driving licence is normally required to drive rather than ride as a passenger.

Is snowmobiling safe for beginners?

Yes, tours are guided and run at a manageable pace, with a safety briefing before you start.

What should I wear?

Warm layers underneath; most operators provide a snowsuit, helmet, gloves and boots to wear over your own clothing.

Can two people share one snowmobile?

Often yes, with one person driving and one riding as a passenger; check availability when booking.

Is there a minimum age for snowmobiling?

This varies by operator, and driving usually requires being a legal driving age; check the specific tour for details.
