Turn-by-turn directions
Route marking and signage: blue poles, brown metal signs at intersections.
The route is moderately demanding, due to its altitude differences. Weather conditions (snowfall and wind) can make the route more demanding. There is no maintenance on the route, but the beginning and end of the route runs on the winter cycling route, which is maintained once a week.
Directions
The starting point Luostonportti can be reached by driving 500 meters uphill towards the ski slopes from Lapland Hotel Luostotunturi in Luosto village.

An alternative starting point is the Ukko-Luosto parking area which can be found when turning on Ukko-Luostontie slightly less than 2 km from Luosto when driving towards Pyhä.
