Snowmobiling

Snowmobiling is a high octane winter sport, also known as a ski-doo, snowscooter or snowmachine. In this worldwide snowmobiling travel guide we look at where to ski-doo, holidays you can go on, plus experiences and courses you can try.

A snowmobile is a land vehicle propelled by one or two rubber tracks, with skis for steering. They are designed to be operated on snow and ice, and require no road or trail.

Most snowmobiles are powered by two-stroke gasoline/petrol internal combustion engines. Even though they are not designed for it, snowmobiles will skim on top of water if the speed is high enough, as demonstrated by the annual snowmobile river drag race in Kautokeino, Norway.

If you want to know where to ski-doo then ski resorts are a good place to try it out. If you are more interested in snowmobile travel then there are expeditions held in Canada, Scandinavian countries and other northerly destinations around the world.
