THE EXPERIENCE
Pedal through the forests around Kätkä fell, then pause beside a wilderness fire with a hot drink. This guided 3.5-hour e-fatbike tour from Levi follows a 15-20 km route chosen for the season: private snow trails and frozen landscapes in winter, woodland paths and lakeside views in summer and autumn. Electric assistance supports your pedalling, leaving you more energy to enjoy the scenery. A stop at a lean-to shelter or kota includes a hot drink and snack, with a campfire whenever conditions permit.
Ride Through Kätkä Fell Wilderness - Private Trails, Open Bog and Holiday Area Roads
The tour begins with pickup from Levi and a short transfer to the starting point at the edge of the wilderness. After bike and helmet fitting and a brief safety introduction, the group sets off on a 15-20 km route through the Kätkä fell area.
In Winter - Private Snow Trails Deep in the Wilderness
In winter the group rides on private trails built and maintained by our team from early in the season - allowing fatbiking throughout the entire winter from mid-November, even when other areas are inaccessible. The route combines private trails, holiday area roads and cycling paths, crossing frozen marshes, open bog and quiet woodland roads beneath the foothills of Kätkä fell. No other riders on these trails. True Arctic solitude.
In Summer and Autumn - Forest, Bog, Lake Views and Autumn Colour
In summer and autumn the route runs through forest trails, holiday area roads, duckboard-covered bogs and fell foothills, with views over Aakenus and Kätkä fells, and along the peaceful shores of Lake Immeljärvi. In late September and October the landscape turns orange, red and yellow. The route also passes through the Kätkä and Pyhä fell area, offering a varied mix of forest, marshland and fell views. The guide leads the group to the best vantage points along the way.
Campfire Stop at a Wilderness Lean-To or Kota Hut
Midway through the tour, the group stops at a lean-to shelter or wilderness hut. The guide lights a fire - hot drink, a small snack, a moment to warm up and take in the surroundings before the return leg. In dry periods, open fires may be prohibited; in that case drinks and snacks are served without fire.
Ride Safely with Comfort and Power - New 2025 Helkama FE12 Electric Fatbike
You ride a new 2025 Helkama FE12 electric fatbike - Finnish-made for Arctic terrain, equipped with a 708Wh battery. Our electric fatbikes are not available as standalone rentals - they are used exclusively in guided tours, which means every bike is used under supervision, properly maintained and in consistently better condition than rental fleets at other operators in the area. The wide tires and powerful motor handle uneven ground, snow, mud and gentle climbs with ease, so the focus stays on the landscape and the ride rather than the effort.
