Answer the Call of Lapland’s Summer: Fatbike Adventure to the Peaks of Kilpisjärvi

As the snow melts and Lapland awakens in spring, a new kind of adventure begins. Fatbikes – those wide-tyred off-road bikes – are no longer reserved for winter thrills alone. In Kilpisjärvi, they become your trusted companion through three distinct seasons: the vibrant greenery of spring, the endless daylight of summer, and the flaming foliage of autumn.

In spring and early summer, the trails are freed from snow, inviting cyclists to explore breathtaking landscapes bathed in sunshine. The scent of budding nature, the murmur of brooks, and the fresh mountain air create an unforgettable setting for outdoor biking.

During the height of summer, forest paths, lakeshores, and rushing rivers form a perfect playground for fatbike lovers. Stop for a quiet picnic in the heart of the wilderness or marvel at waterfalls tucked among the trees. And the best part? The midnight sun means your adventure doesn’t have to end – you can ride through the night if you wish.

When autumn arrives, Lapland sets itself ablaze – not with fire, but with vibrant colors. As you ride through the forest and up the fells, golden birches and deep red leaves surround you. It’s like cycling through a living painting.

One truly special experience is the e-fatbike tour along the Skirhasjoki River, following an old gravel road built by German forces during World War II. The route leads toward Fell Jehkas and climbs above the treeline, where sweeping views open across the snow-covered peaks of Finland, Sweden, and Norway. The road fades 1.5 kilometers before the summit, and from there the journey continues on foot or by bike to the very top.

This guided adventure includes everything you need: an e-fatbike, helmet, local guide, hot berry juice, a sweet pastry, transport, insurance – and professional photographs taken during the tour, free of charge. Tours are available from June 1st to September 25th, weather permitting, and are suitable for all skill levels – even beginners.
