Would you like to cross the incredible Finnish landscapes on a Fat Bike adapted to these environments? This adventure will take you through Lapland in spectacular surroundings.
Lapland by bike crosses the Lappish tundra by snow bike. This will mean cycling away from civilization for three days sleeping in isolated huts with minimal equipment. We will cycle in search of the Aurora Borealis following the mountain roads. We will see the change of landscapes, from forested areas to the Lappish tundra. The ideal place to enjoy a Fat Bike.
In addition, we will enjoy Finnish saunas, Suomi food and get to master a winter environment. A unique trip for adventurers!
Guide – companion: David is one of the pioneers of polar biking in Europe and a great connoisseur of Finnish Lapland. He is an expert in extreme trips with destinations as different as Lapland in winter where he travels every year. Greenland, Alaska and Lapland by bike and kayak. Long distance races such as 1000 Miles, CAT700 and Tuscany Trail.
