Everything about this trip was incredible - the landscape, snoeshowing, Finnish saunas, the culture, and even our Guides! You cover a lot of ground snoeshowing, so this isn't for the fainthearted, but it is definitely worth it! For me it would have been better without the cabins with no electricity/running water, but you know what you are getting into at least! And it didn't spoil the experience in any way. Overall, a brilliant trip, would highly, highly recommend.Show more
