“Per sneeuwscooter naar Snowvillage is echt gaaf! De gids was goed in zijn uitleg over de scooter en na een paar km rijden maakte hij een stop en vroeg of we harder wilde rijden. Dit wilde iedereen dus daarom haalde hij de begrenzing van de scooter en reden we full speed. In ons geval vonden de mannen dit leuk en de vrouwen iets te hard. Maar als je houdt van snelheid moet je deze tocht boeken. Bij aankomst bij Snowvillage kregen we een luxe lunch. Echt top geregeld. Daarna konden we rondkijken en kregen we uitleg. De terugweg ging hetzelfde als de heenweg; met een pittige snelheid reden we terug…”

“This experiencia was very good but we had another bad experience with a Service carrier that cancelled a visit to the frozen warerfalls in Rovaniemi with not a valid explanation. He said fue to weather conditions and the temperature was ok with a nice sunshine.”
