Join the
adventure and explore the magic of sunny summer nights on an electric fatbike!
Experience the beauty and magic of the Midnight Sun in Rovaniemi. Cruising on an electric fatbike, join this unique bike ride towards the top of Santavaara hill and enjoy the stillness of the arctic summer night, with the sun still visible over the landscape.
WHAT TO EXPECT?
The night without nighttime, or 24 hours of daylight is the highlight of
the summer here in the arctic - or as we like to call it - a 5-hour
long sunset! This guided bike ride lets you experience some memorable
moments from the saddle of an electric fatbike. A professional
mountain bike guide will lead you to one of the best spots for
watching the midnight sun, with relaxing bike paths and some more
demanding off-road trails along the way. If you have some experience
from riding mountain bikes, and are comfortable with 2-3 hours of
intermediate riding, this tour is perfect for you. We can even tailor
the experience to suit your riding abilities!
The tour begins
from Rovaniemi city centre, and heads towards the Ounasjoki River with a
view towards the most recognizable local landmark – the Jätkänkynttilä
bridge. We follow the easy bike paths over the river for about 7 km.
Then, we turn to the Santavaara forest road, heading up the hill,
enjoying some more technical riding along the bumpy forest road. The
electric motors of our bikes ensure a comfortable ride up the hill. At
the top of the hill, we stop at the Kuninkaanlaavu lean-to and enjoy the
fantastic views over the Ounasjoki river valley and the beautiful
sunset, before heading back downhill and cruising back to Rovaniemi.
