The Experience in Detail

Starting Point and Transport

The adventure begins with about 45 minutes of scenic transfer from Levi, giving you a chance to soak in the beautiful Lapland landscape even before you start pedaling. Once at the trailhead, equipped with your bike and helmet, you’ll meet your guide and get a quick briefing on the route, safety tips, and how the e-fatbikes work.

The 22 km Scenic Route

The route itself is a thoughtfully chosen circuit that highlights the very best of Pallastunturi National Park. It’s about 22 kilometers long, a manageable distance that balances adventure and sightseeing. The trail takes you through a pine forest with sandy paths, gradually ascending towards the mountain plateau — a highlight that offers a striking contrast between wooded tracks and open fell landscapes.

The terrain varies between smooth, rocky, and occasionally challenging sections, so some moderate physical activity is involved. The electric assist on the fatbikes makes the climbs more manageable, especially if you’re concerned about physical exertion. We loved the combination of long, fast descents and ascents that keep the ride dynamic and exciting without becoming tiring.

The Fell and the Break Spot

Almost unexpectedly, the open fell landscape appears, offering sweeping views that stretch as far as the eye can see. The scenery is dotted with lichened rocks, sparse vegetation, and the vast sky overhead — a true quintessential Lapland scene. This is the perfect spot for a break, where you’ll pause to take photos and marvel at the uninterrupted views.
