2h Winter Bike Tour – Riversides of Rovaniemi
About
Experience the city of Rovaniemi and the river banks of Kemijoki and Ounasjoki rivers. This is easy riding tour and suitable for anybody who can ride a bike; only flat roads and easy forest paths. We take you through the city center to some of the most beautiful river banks. We also ride on the frozen river ice when it’s possible and safe. Our professional biking guide can show you not only the wonder of winter, but some sweet singletracks a stone’s throw away from the city centre. This tour happens with electric assisted fatbikes. You need to pedal, but the electric motor makes it easy and fun for riders in any fit. On this tour you will also see the beautiful riverside and even some of the architectural pearls of Rovaniemi. We ride by old Marttiini knife factory and Arktikum, over the Lumberjack Bridge and at the end of the tour we will pass by the library designed by Alvar Aalto himself.
