This once in a lifetime experience offers an unforgettable experience for outdoorsmen of all levels. Join us on a journey that will take you to unforgettable and never-before-seen places under the sun of Lapland's nightless night. Feel and breathe the cleanest air in the world, see the beauty of genuine wilderness and national parks, and feel the silence of Lapland with all your senses.
For mountain biking, we in Finland have something even better than the mountains – our open fells. Finland's northern oasis, Tunturi-Lappi invites us to an adventure through the enchanting arctic landscape. The rolling fell terrain opens before us the perfect setting for long bike tours.
Our journey goes from accommodation to accommodation, along old post roads and admiring protected landscapes. In simple, authentic and atmospheric accommodations, we let our souls and feet rest at the end of a day's driving, while feasting on Finnish sauna culture and rehti food.
Lapland is also home to magicians - shamans, and the most famous of them will take us on a journey through the history of Finnish Lapland. Let your thoughts calm down while you sit on reindeer antlers, surrounded by Lapland's nature in your home. In the crackling of the campfire, thoughts calm down, the feeling relaxes and calmness takes over the mind. Then you might encounter a Shaman, who appears unexpectedly from the hiding places of the forest. He has been given the task of telling the guests the stories of old Lapland about the aurora borealis, the aurora borealis, the nature of Lapland, and finally he equips the travelers with good luck by introducing them to the magic circle of Lapland.
On the back of a mountain bike, we can explore Lapland's most beautiful landscapes at the right pace. The group size is a maximum of eight people. A small group creates an opportunity to explore privately and intimately together the beauty that nature offers. Our professional mountain bike guide will tell you stories about the life of the local people, culture, the northern lights and the nature of Lapland, and will take care of you throughout our trip.
The northern parts of Finland are still the secret of mountain biking. In recent years, a wide network of routes has been created and now cycling is also allowed in national parks. This opens up the possibility for us to choose our unique route through the most beautiful fell landscapes.
If you love a simple life in authentic accommodations and appreciate the company of people close to nature - both during the day on the trails and in the evening in the sauna - then you should quickly book your vacation for a bike trip to the North!
The price includes accommodation, guidance, transportation during the trip, all meals (breakfasts, snacks during the trip, lunches and dinners).

Our trip starts right at the border of Finland and Norway, through the amazing sand dunes of the incredibly beautiful wilderness of Pöyrisjärvi, through Enontekiö, Muonio and Kolar to Kittilä and Levi. We will experience the best single and double tracks of Finland's two largest ski resorts, Levi and Ylläs, and we will experience the most amazing and beautiful fells of the Pallas–Yllästunturi National Park.
We pedal along the best and most scenic single and double tracks of Tunturi-Lap, breathing the cleanest air in the world, immersing ourselves in the Arctic wilderness and getting to know the historical culture at the same time. All this together forms an amazing and memorable adventure for almost a week that you will remember for the rest of your life.

Arrival by plane at Kittilä airport and transport to Levi accommodation. Alternatively, you can come to Levi on your own, for example sustainably by train to Kolar or Rovaniemi.
On the first day, a spectacular arrival ceremony will be organized in Levi, where we will go through the whole week's program: schedules, routes, safety aspects, staff and other important matters.
All the necessary practical preparations are also done on the same day. You get your own bike; you can make the necessary adjustments to it and pack your daypack ready for the first day. If you bring your own bike with you, you have plenty of time to check everything is ready on the day of arrival. The day's official program culminates in a delicious dinner at a local restaurant.
In the morning we enjoy a nutritious breakfast and prepare dinner before heading to Näkkälä, a small Sami village of 40 people. We spend the day in the wilderness of Pöyrisjärvi. We tread in a true wilderness, which is an incredible paradise. You won't find a place like this anywhere else in Finland. Admire the silence of the wilderness and breathe the cleanest air in the world. Experience unforgettable experiences on the sand dunes shaped by the ice age and in the embrace of small wilderness ponds. The treeless tundra enables a view of several tens of kilometers and the seemingly infinite space gives the opportunity to let go of everyday responsibilities and just enjoy the beauty of the wilderness.
The adventure begins in a small reindeer village of 40 inhabitants, Näkkälä. We visit the old place of worship of the Sámi people, seita. We pedal along the country tracks used by reindeer herders and other locals to the shore of the beautiful and clear Pöyrisjärvi (approx. 15 km). We will spend the night in an atmospheric, possibly shared accommodation, which is located on the shore of the beautiful and blue sparkling Pöyrisjärvi. In the evening, we go on a short cross-country drive along the beaches and swim, fish, explore the wonders of the surrounding area and enjoy nutritious food by the evening campfire before hitting the pillow at the end of a day full of experiences.
In the morning we eat a nutritious breakfast in peace. We pack our things and head back to our starting point. We drive to the village of Heta and visit the nature center of Fell Lapland, where we enjoy lunch and get to know the exhibition about Sámi culture and the nature of the fells. In the afternoon, we take a boat to the foot of Pallas-Yllästunturi, Finland's most popular national park, to spend the day. The day offers a physical challenge, technical skills, and breathtaking views of the Pallas mountain range. The day's efforts offer us the best and most unique views of the country in the cleanest air in the world.
At the end of the day, we descend from the fells and drive to our accommodation on the shore of Jerisjärvi. In the evening, we get to enjoy the wonderful baths of the arctic sauna world, where you can relax in various traditional saunas and refresh yourself in the lake.
After breakfast, we will be the guests of an authentic Lapland shaman, we will hear stories about the land, the aurora borealis and nature. The morning is crowned by a ritual performed by a shaman, after which we enjoy lunch made from local ingredients in the shaman's home.
After lunch we start moving towards Yllä and Äkäslompolo. Our route goes along a partially paved road. Otherwise, we get to enjoy the joy of riding in the embrace of wonderful fells along single and double tracks. Accommodation takes place in an atmospheric and traditional Lapland accommodation, where we enjoy together the refreshing warmth of the sauna and sauna, as well as a delicious dinner.
After a delicious breakfast, we start moving along the Ylläs-Levi MTB route towards our destination. The Ylläs – Levi MTB route is versatile and very varied. There is a steady ascent on the route the whole way. The longest individual hills are the climb to Kukastunturi in Ylläki, the climb to Homevaara and the side of Pyhätunturi. Halfway through, we enjoy lunch in the surroundings of beautiful Lake Pyhäjärvi.
After arriving in Levi, the soft floats of the sauna raft, dinner and accommodation in traditional accommodation await us at Immeljärvi.
On the last day, we get to spend the morning enjoying the charm of speed on the routes of the award-winning Levi Bike Park on our own or with a guide. If you already feel the previous driving days in your body, you can alternatively get to know the local life and culture by visiting the husky park.
Bike Park is a great setting for lovers of cycling and lift cycling! The Gondoli 2000 lift takes you up to the top of Levi, from where you can see the amazing landscapes of Tunturi-Lap. Going down is then done faster on the bike under the guidance of our professional downhill guide! Levi Bike Park has tracks from an easy green route to a difficult black route, where the rider's bike handling skills are already asked. The routes have wide embanked turns as well as winding and narrow routes adapted to individual performance. There are also enduro routes of different levels in the Bike Park.
For lunch, we get together again as a whole group and go through the highlights of this memorable trip and share our experiences with each other before saying goodbye and heading home.
