Overview

Fat biking in winter conditions in Finland's Taiga Forest offers a great setting for this fun way of moving. In this package you will train with fat bikes in the untouched wilderness areas surrounding the Martinselkonen complex, and then (depending on the dates) challenge yourself in endurance competition on the Ruthless Raja (Border). The rides take us into uninhabited wilderness, where only the birds and reindeer will be your company. Along the way you'll see many animal tracks in the snow, experience some wonderful Finnish cooking, try other 'snow-related' activities if you wish, enjoy fabulous saunas, and there is a good chance you'll see the Northern Lights too! Martinselkonen Wilds Centre offers home-style cooking using many local ingredients, including berries and mushrooms, and fish from local lakes. All the meals are prepared in Martinselkonen from fresh ingredients.
