>>1979858I came here to post this. I've been riding the same train to get to hiking trip further north. Amazing rolling stock, clean, modern, nice dining car, midnight sun as the Finish landscape passes by, one of the best train rides i ever had.
If you want to increase your northern Finland experience, take the post bus from Rovaniemi to Kilpisjärvi, it's 8 hours, you're mostly the only passenger, the driver is also the mail man, you stop at every mail box the next 300km, which is maybe 10 boxes, plus an extra stop at a natural spring at the road side because the water is so good and both the driver and me wanted to fill our bottles.
Kilpis looks something like this. I want to say this was the best holidays I had in a long time.
