More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Snow hisses beneath the sleds as you push off from a clearing on the edge of Rovaniemi. The forest closes in—stark pines and birch trunks lacquered in rime—while the guide modulates speed to suit the group. Occasional openings reveal flat, bright tundra where wind has polished the snow; the machine’s breath fogs the visor as you thread tracks through silent trees.
