biking in lapland

A sense of freedom you can’t get in a car

Biking lets you go where cars can’t. Ride along forest trails, frozen lakeshores, or winding gravel roads through remote villages. Hear the crunch of snow under your tires or the breeze through pine trees in summer. This is freedom, Lapland-style.

Eco-friendly and sustainable

Biking is one of the greenest ways to travel. No noise, no emissions, just you, your bike, and nature. When you choose biking in Lapland, you’re helping to preserve the purity of the north, while enjoying it up close.

Great for your body and mind

Cycling is a full-body workout that boosts your stamina, strengthens muscles, and clears your mind. Pedaling through peaceful landscapes is as energizing as it is calming, a combination of movement and mindfulness you’ll carry with you long after your ride.

Our fatbikes are equipped with oversized tires designed to handle snow, gravel, and uneven forest trails. They’re stable, fun, and surprisingly easy to ride, even for beginners.

Whether you’re gliding over snow in winter or exploring rugged paths in summer, fatbikes make Lapland’s wilderness accessible, exciting, and safe.

Free bike use – how it works

All guests staying at our property can borrow a fatbike free of charge for 2 hours. Just ask at the reception, no booking required. If you want more time for a longer trip or plan a full-day adventure, you can upgrade to a 24-hour rental for a small fee.

Included in rental:

• High-quality fatbike
• Basic route map
• Safety tips and local advice

Peaceful forest trails

Ride into the silence of Lapland’s spruce and pine forests. These flat, quiet paths are ideal for beginners or anyone wanting a relaxing ride in nature.

Hills and terrain for adventure

Looking for a challenge? Try one of the hillier routes near the fells. Conquer rolling terrain and enjoy rewarding views from the top. These trails are perfect for more experienced bikers. 

Picnic spots and scenic stops

Pack snacks and take a break by a lake, lean-to shelter (laavu), or scenic overlook. Most trails offer beautiful places to rest, have lunch, or just breathe in the fresh northern air.

Ride into Arctic light

In summer, enjoy biking under the Midnight Sun, when golden light lasts all night. Stop and soak in the surreal glow as shadows stretch endlessly across the landscape.

In autumn, ride through fiery red and yellow forests, while in winter, you can cruise through snow-laden trees under blue hour skies, or even catch the Northern Lights dancing above you.

What to bring with you

While your fatbike are provided, we recommend bringing:

• Weather-appropriate clothing (layered, windproof, breathable)
• Water bottle or thermos
• Snacks or energy bars
• Gloves and sunglasses
• Small backpack
• Phone or GPS for navigation

Safety first 

• Always wear a helmet
• Ride within your ability – some trails can be slippery or uneven
• Let someone know where you’re going, especially if biking alone
• Keep a safe distance from wildlife

Respect nature while you ride

Lapland’s environment is fragile and precious. While biking:

Small choices make a big difference.
