A chewing wind and the soft hiss of tracks introduce you to the Finnish lakeland in winter — a low, bright sky over spruce and birch, and a sledge that cuts a narrow track through the snow-draped understory. The ride begins with overalls and a short safety briefing; soon you’re being towed across gentle hills and sudden downhills, the forest daring you to look away as white trunks and frozen bogs flash past.
