After visiting Costa Rica and French Polynesia, the time was right to quit our full-time jobs, so we left everything to travel and have loved every minute of it. Our goal is to make it to all seven continents and visit as many countries as possible. Follow along and be a part of the journey!

    In Ruka you can rent a stiga drivable sledge and take condola on top of the downhill ski and ride sledge down.

    Well how fun was that! Jenny you were smart to be the passenger. I grew up with snowmobiles. It definitely takes a time or two to get used to driving one. But they are fun. Sledding is a lot of fun. Just walking back up the hill isn’t so much. ❄️ 🛷☃️💗

    Fun fact: On ice (lake, river or sea) there are no speed limits. Fun start's at 60 mph

    We were in Saariselkä last winter driving snowmobiles, have to say that the tracks in there are really great! When you go driving solo and go a bit faster, you should not wear so much clothes cause you will get hot.

      @zoolkhan 6 місяців тому

      when you hit a treestump at 100km/h your enthusiasm will be seriously curbed ;)
      they can be fast, but tourists generall have no idea how to handle them or where to go fast and where not
      (snow consistency, frozen lakes, hidden treestumps, deer crossings, other crossings...)
      These tours in lapland usually have a native (saami tribesman maybe) driving ahead.
      As a nature lover i am seriously annoyed at the loud engines.
      Going in a dog sled is more my thing.. while they race you through the snows all you hear is the wind and the snow...

      I recommend that you drive the snowmobile alone, then controlling the sled is easier and more comfortable than riding with a passenger.

    Once again you had a great time. And the trees were covered nicely with snow just like in postcards. Did you ride to the top of the fell Kaunispää? I haven't riden a snowmobile for ages. Actually I don't even remember when the last time was, but very long time ago.

    • @JacobandJennyTravel
      @JacobandJennyTravel  6 місяців тому +1

      Also, the safari rides make the routes very bumpy. If you head to another direction (Laanila / with smoke sauna) from the gas station, the route is smooth as silk and easier to handle. 😎
