- Maiju S0 contributionsEasy going and so relaxing!It was my first solotravel holiday and I was little bit nervous to go by myself. Arto was so nice and funny that it was easy for me to relax on a boat eventually. There were some foreign travelers, so Arto did the tour with english, and that was fine for me. Arto's stories were interesting and he played some music with his instrument. We all got some binoculars to see birds nest. There were also some coffee, tee and buns to eat.

We just had an incredible snow scooter ”e-Lyly” experience at Puumala. it was really great to drive on a frozen lake with about 20 cm powder snow. Then we went to drove on forest trails with curves and hills. That was a marvelous experience as well, as you learned how nimble the e-Lyly really is.
Our guide was very friendly and supportive, telling us interesting story about the E-Lyly lifecycle.
This experience is very new and definitely worth of trying!

The experience with the elyly snowmobile is highly recommended. We were one of the first users of the elylyl snowmobile. A snowmobile in the form of a step and electric. It takes some getting used to to find the balance of the snowmobile, but within 5 minutes you have the snowmobile under control. The snowmobile has a speed of 5-30 km/h. The scooter easily drives through the snow. Steering the scooter is using the handlebars and shifting your weight.
With the guide Arto and the snowmobile we drove through the woods. An experience I can recommend.

Finnish winter is so beautiful. Thank you Arto for your guidance also in French. We took photos and enjoyed nature. Driving snow scooter is a fantastic winter activity and easy to learn.
Due to weather conditions we were not able to drive on the ice. If we could do it, the rate of the experience would be excellent instead of very good.

There was a bit of magic in these two hours spent in the company of our guide and our e-lyly. The atmosphere, the fun, the calm, the stories and the adventure; everything was there. When are we doing it again?!!
