I definitely need to travel to northern Europe in winter. I want to see the northern lights and I want lots of snow. These snow-covered trees in Kuusamo look so pretty and magical. I just want snow but for those who like winter sports, Kuusamo is a place to go. This city in the Northern Ostrobothnia region is a major center for winter sports and receives approximately a million tourists every year. One of the largest ski resorts in Finland, Ruka, is situated in Kuusamo.

The average annual temperature in Kuusamo is −0.37 °C (...). The warmest month is July with an average temperature of +14.3 °C, coldest January with −13.2 °C.
Kuusamo is one of the snowiest areas in Finland: the ground is snow-covered for about 200 days a year, from late October until mid-May, with a thickness of 80–90 centimetres (31–35 in).
The center of Kuusamo is located approximately 60 km (37 mi) south of the Arctic Circle, thus polar day and night play a major role. From 14 to 29 June Kuusamo has midnight sun. - in: wikipedia
