Forests cover 75 percent of Finland’s land area, which makes this country the most forested land in Europe. For every person living here, there is nearly 4.5 hectares of forest.

In the end of February the Abisko Ice Climbing Festival kicks off in Abisko, Sweden. Clinics, trying new gear and plenty of ice climbing are on the programme - a good reason to go and check it out!

Sharpen your axes/ Wax your skis/ The sun is rising/ The Best of winter/ is here.
