The 45-minute trek takes a scenic route across the local countryside from the airport to Kirkenes Snowhotel.

From £306 per person* *The price includes two people sharing a sledge,
driver, and protective clothing. Your main luggage will be transported separately. Minimum number of two participants. Only available from the airport to Kirkenes Snowhotel for flight arrival between 11:00-15:00.
