Imagine
the crunch of footsteps in fresh-fallen snow. Imagine the twinkling stars
high in a clear winter sky. Imagine countless birch trees sighing under
the weight of a snowfall.
Imagine the thrills and laughter of a speedy winter adventure. Imagine the
spicy smell of fresh-baked cookies served by a warming wood fire.
Winter
in Finland's Lakeland is a magical time. The countryside is hushed by
the sugary mantle of snow. Rivers and streams freeze, suspended in time
as winter asserts its grip. It's time for all kinds of fun, action and
adventure.
What
shall we do today? How about picking up a few cross-country skiing tips
and striking out on a well-marked trail for an energetic expedition? Or
revving up the engine of a fast, slick snowmobile that will take us quickly
through silent forests and across frozen lakes. There's downhill skiing,
too, and a host of other exciting adventures that celebrate the fantastic
opportunity a true snowy winter brings.
