A week's Once-in-a-lifetime Gravel adventure in the wild nature of Lapland

Welcome to an adventure in the wonderful wilderness landscapes of Lapland! Imagine yourself on the back of a gravel bike, ready to explore the beauty and power of northern nature.

On these magical routes, you will experience unforgettable moments with gravel cycling. Finnish Lapland has 100,000 km of forest and gravel roads, thousands of kilometers of drivable cabin roads, and a huge network of footpaths and hiking trails. We have compiled only the best, most beautiful and most interesting routes, which you can enjoy with a close-knit and like-minded group and our professional and local guide.

The routes are loop routes. We leave our accommodation in the morning and return to the accommodation at the end of the driving day. Only the things we need during the day of the ride are taken with us. The accommodation for the driving days is two nights in Levi (Kittilä), two nights in Äkäslompolo (Kolar) and two nights in Jerisjärvi (Muonio).

Our tour goes through the wonderfully beautiful Tunturi-Lap in the area of three municipalities: Kittilä, Kolar and Muonio. Day by day, our journey will soon progress deeper into the wild heart of Lapland. You will encounter beautiful landscapes and riverside gems, such as the villages of Könkä and Tepasto and the wonderful landscapes of Pallas-Ylläs National Park. Hiking trails, gravel roads and narrow paths offer versatile challenges and opportunities to enjoy the enchanting rugged beauty of Lapland.

We continue our adventure in the landscapes of Äkäslompolo and Jerisjärvi, where the paths run from the tops of the fells through the shores of the lake all the way deep into the wilderness. Experience reindeer encounters, the power of waterfalls and the mysticism of Lapland's nature as you travel through historical places such as Äkäsaivo and Pakasaivo all the way deep into Lapland's mysticism. On the way, you will meet a real shaman and drive through the nightless night, breathing the cleanest air in the world.

When the fatigue creeps in and the food starts to taste good, rest for a while in deserted huts, campfire places and traditional cafes, where local stories and histories live on. On these routes, you don't just pedal, you experience something deeper – connection with nature, respect for traditions and moments that moisten your soul.

On the driving days, we stay in simple, authentic and atmospheric accommodations, let our souls and feet rest at the end of the driving day, while feasting on Finnish sauna culture and hearty food. These routes are not just cycling, they are adventures that will leave a mark on your heart and memories that you will carry with you forever.

On the day of arrival and departure, we will stay in Levi. On the day of arrival, a spectacular arrival ceremony is organized, where we go through the entire week's program: schedules, routes, safety aspects, staff and other important matters. In the evening we go on a short test run pedaling through the landscapes of Levi. On the day of departure, we will customize the program according to your wishes. You can spend a well-deserved day off exploring, for example, the Levi area, visit a husky or reindeer farm, or buy some treats to take home. If you wish, you can also start your journey home after a hearty breakfast at your own pace.

So feel free to explore and experience Lapland's unique nature on a gravel bike!
