Activities FAQs
How easy is it to drive a snowmobile?
Our guide will make sure everyone's safe and following the rules before you set off. If a grown-up wants to drive, you need to be over 18 and have a full driving licence. You'll get a helmet too.
The dedicated trails are like roads, with 'give way' signs to look out for. And just like roads, you can't have had any alcohol before heading out.
There's room for one passenger per snowmobile. You need to be able to reach the footrests and be strong enough to hold on properly around the driver's waist or hand grips. There isn't a specific age to ride pillion however it is at the guides discretion as to whether you are allowed to ride as a passenger.
To drive your own snowmobile without a passenger, you'll need to book a single driver supplement. And if a grown-up wants to go in the sleigh, you'll need to let us know in advance and its subject to availability.
Is there time to go skiing?
Yes, there is time to go downhill skiing on the ‘Adventure Day’ on the Santa's Magic and Santa's Aurora Packages 3 night breaks.
