A cold blue light breaks across a wide, white plain as you tighten your gloves and step up to the snowmobile. The morning starts with a short briefing at the Lapland Welcome safari desk, winter gear handed over, helmets checked. Engines rumble; the landscape opens into birch-fringed trails, frozen rivers daring you to keep pace, and the occasional purr of other machines cutting a clean line through fresh snow.
