The engine opens like a door to silence — a low, controlled hum under a sky that can feel endless. You set off from a staging point about 20 km north of Rovaniemi and slide into Sinettä’s fir-lined corridors, where pine trunks lean in as if to watch you pass. Snow crunches, breath fogs the visor, and frozen lakes lay flat and white, daring you to cross them.
