Travel insurance:
Please take a travel insurance for snow adventure sports etc. that covers all your costs if you can’t travel at all or if you are in response of whatever unexpected costs during the programs. Please be prepared to pay the driver’s liability right away at a snowmobile safari if needed and ensure that your travel insurance covers the liability. It is possible
Snowmobile driving:
The driver of the snowmobile is held liable for damages caused to the vehicle. The maximum personal liability is 900 € per person / snowmobile / accident.
The self-liability waiver reduces the amount of maximum self-liability from 900 € to 200 €. The self-liability waiver costs 50 € per driver per safari and can be bought on our webstore as an optional for our snowmobile safaris or on the spot before the safari. The self-liability waiver is personal and available for a few hours daily safaris only. On several days safaris the self liability can be 1500 euros and no waiver is available depending on snowmobiles.
In case of accident the driver pays the self liability part immediately. The snowmobile is repaired in an official garage and the bill added with transfer costs of 100 EURO will be sent to the driver. The extra part of the paid self liability will be sent back to the driver.
Safety:
The participants have to follow the briefings carefully and obey all safety and dressing instructions given by the present guide. Customers participate on all of our safaris by their own risk.
Lapland Welcome Ltd is not liable for any accidental damage or injury which has to be indemnified under the travel insurance of a customer. Personal travel insurance is always highly recommended. Program services e.g. snowmobile and husky safaris can be physically demanding and the participants may be exposed to vibrations. If the Consumer is having any type of health problems, including, but not limited to, heart disease, back problems or similar, or if the Consumer is pregnant, he/ she should contact prior the participation the medical experts to make sure whether the medical experts consider him/ her to be able or not to participate. It´s the responsibility of the Consumer to consult Lapland Welcome whether he/ she is capable to participate on health or any other point of view. Anyway you don’t need to be worried at all because the safaris are organized by very safe way.
