Snowmobiling Lappish summer style!

In the far north of Finnish Lapland in the small town of Ivalo the locals obviously just couldn’t survive a whole summer without their beloved snowmobiles so they came up with a unique and crazy annual event……The Water Cross Races.

As the snow has long melted the competitors decided to race their snowmobiles across the Ivalo

River that flows through the town. The event attracts competitors and spectators from all over Lapland.
