In easier safaris, trails which we use are main- and connecting trails (official snowmobile trails) between villages and centres. So those are more used and sometimes fixed trails. Normally safaris are priced so there drives 1 person / snowmobile. For example there is one, “THREE-DAY SAFARI” which is priced also for driving 2 person/snowmobile, because it follows main trails and isn’t so demanding. Accommodations are usually better quality cottages and hotels.
More demanding safaris are more extreme things and there need normal good physical condition, but not necessary former experience with snowmobiles. For example on those trails there is more change to try drive in deep snow, just because, we are perhaps first group on trail in that winter. Trails are sometimes like narrow paths through forest but anyway official snowmobile trails. Accommodations are in wilderness log houses and cottages, in most cases with saunas.
