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.
