Detailed itinerary

We start the ride from our shop in the middle of the village of Saariselkä. Before the ride, we go through the safety aspects, check the equipment and how the bikes work. Good preparing is the key to successful ride.

Stop 2

Riding to the gates of the Urho Kekkonen National park is quick on the public roads. Soon after the gate we head to to purpose made winter trails. Concentrate now, if you ride off the track, you'll dive deep in to the powdery snow! That's the moment of the best laughs :)

Some of the trails run inside the National Park and part of the trails outside it's borders, but the beautiful nature is the same on both sides.

Most of the time we keep on moving and enjoying the flow. But there is also good time to take photos and capture the best moment of your life time!

After approx 1,5 hours of riding the best trails and the most beautiful places on the Earth we head back to village and end the ride to our shop.

The tour ends to the same premises we left two hours before. To get all the lost calories back, there are many nice restaurants to choose after ride.
