Snowmobile Trek

Our activity for day three of our Arctic Adventure is a snowmobile expedition along some of the trails around Ruka - the local ski resort.  After wrapping up in some suitably warm outer garments provided by the hire shop, we set out along the trails that wind through forests and across frozen lakes.  Not quite as tranquil as our husky ride of the previous day, thanks to the engine noise and the exhaust smell, and it is not so easy to look around at the scenery when you are concentrating on staying on the track.
Our apres-trek routine usually involved a session in the sauna in our cabin, followed by a very tasty Finnish meal served up by the proprietors of the adjacent lodge.
