Arctic Biking Adventures

Fat biking, e-biking and 'Fat-Max' scootering across more than 200km of true wilderness trails in Enontekiö.

This region is fast growing as a biking destination. Enontekiö's wild fell highlands are great for mountain biking, with fun year-round trails accessible from downtown Hetta. In summer, choose from gravelled forestry roads, sandy heaths, old German-built wartime routes and challenging duckboards across vast wilderness; in winter, a huge network of snowmobile trails opens up.

E-Biking, fatbiking and 'Fat-Max' scootering in Enontekiö

All in all, there are over 200km of true wilderness trails. Some of these are unmarked and demand a truly adventurous soul. Others are easily accessible, if you just know where they are found.

All areas — aside from the Malla Nature Reserve — are open access, since the Pallas-Ounastunturi National Park was opened to bikers in 2017, although there aren't many great routes across the larger wetlands area or the Yliperä fells in Kilpisjärvi.
