Snowmobile adventures
One of the best, if not the best, way to experience the arm of Finland is by snowmobile. This activity guarantees the charm of speed and the sweetness of freedom in wonderful landscapes, both in mid-winter and spring. Whether you’re heading towards the wonderful fells with your own or a rented sled, remember to check out the free and paid routes.

Northern lights
The best fun in winter is to wrap up in warm clothes, pack mint cocoa in a thermos, and head out to the deserted place of the theater on the sky. You never get used to the glow of the Northern Lights, the dance of the lights in the sky always enchants its viewers.
These tellers of ancient stories, the aurora borealis, fill the sky in Kilpisjärvi four nights out of five, when only the clouds are gone. You can download Aurora Alarm to your phone to monitor activity or watch space weather online.
