Great side angle to show its spirals. It look familiar, perharps WHITE-LIPPED BANDED SNAIL Cepaea hortensis, which is quite common here in SW Finland (I have a photo in my invertebrate galleries).

No only is it beautiful, but the way you have photographed it make is unusually beautiful, the spiraling pattern of cream and chocolate brown.
