The cold air bites clean and bright as a private vehicle pulls away from Rovaniemi and slides onto a quiet forest road. Snow presses against the trees, light bending off white trunks, and the guide’s diesel hum is the only steady sound until the group reaches an open clearing and trades the van for powered snow vehicles.
