RIDE YOUR FATBIKE WITH NO LIMITS!
The fat tires of your bikes allow you to ride on every kind of terrain : city roads, rocky paths, forests, sand and even snow! This is the perfect way to explore Lapland in summer & autumn!
Fatbikes are very easy to ride even for beginners. We offer standard fatbikes or electric fatbikes (“e-fatbikes”), depending on the experience you are willing to enjoy. Electric fatbikes allow you to ride with limited efforts, with the help of a powerful engine and long-lasting battery. Standard fatbikes are designed for those who prefer a pure sporty experience!
We offer two options to enjoy the experience :
OPTION 1 – GUIDED TOUR (3.5 HOURS) WITH FATBIKES OR E-FATBIKES
Your guide will lead you from Rovaniemi city centre on a scenic itinerary. The tour is always adapted, based on your level and condition. The chosen route is designed to let you first get familiar with your fatbike on easy cycling paths before entering forests roads and/or reaching hilltops. A cultural tour of the different points of interests of the city and Santa Claus Village is also possible for those who are willing to go on an easy ride without too many challenges. In all cases, you may discuss the best itinerary options for your group.
During this 3-hour tour, your guide will also make a longer break to a nice viewpoints and prepare a typical Finnish snack around the fire for you! This is a good moment to learn more about the local culture and other aspects of Lapland.
In addition to those nature guided tours, we also offer cultural & historical tour of Rovaniemi or an electric fatbike trip to the reindeer farm.
OPTION 2 – INDEPENDENT RENTAL (3 HOURS, 24 HOURS or MORE)
This option is designed to let you enjoy an electric fatbike experience in total independence (without a guide). You may then reserve your own electric fatbikes and collect it at the agreed time from our shop in the city centre of Rovaniemi. You will receive your biking equipment as well as instructions to help you get more familiar with your electric fatbike. Suggestions of itinerary can be provided, based on your wishes : you may for example decide to go for an easy ride to visit to Santa Claus Village or challenge yourself with a ride through the forests of the Ounasvaara hill or on the frozen rivers to reach nature places away from the city.
The rental option gives you a rental access of 3 hours or 24 hours. For longer rental duration, please contact us at info@nordicodyssey.net.
