Leaving the ARCTIC CIRCLE on Europe's Best Train | Snowy Journey Through Lapland

Hello from Finland! 🇫🇮 Today, we leave the Arctic Circle on what many call Europe’s best train, traveling from Rovaniemi to Helsinki through frozen forests and the quiet winter beauty of Lapland. This is one of the most iconic train journeys in Finland and one of the most scenic winter railway routes in Europe. Along the way, we cross remote Arctic landscapes, pass through traditional Lapland villages, and watch the wilderness slowly transition into southern Finland. In this video, we show you what traveling from Rovaniemi to Helsinki by train in winter feels like — the snowy scenery, the atmosphere onboard, and the unique comfort and features of Finland’s long-distance rail system. Enjoy the ride on Europe’s best train from the Arctic Circle to Helsinki! • Thank you to our channel members • Roland Gharfine - Jorge Oliveira - Clay Gilliland - Per Erik Akerjordet (Norseman) - soundman - RN - Thomas Sanderson - Paulus™️ - Zoltán Bodrogi - Ruben Dario Machado López - suman Dhara - Grandma Bente 👉 Want to see the destinations we travel to?
