    The route is rated easy to moderate. It starts with a bit steep and technical climb by Aurorakuru to the sides of Iisakkipää and Vahtamapää. But sceneries reached make it worth the trouble. And for the best sceneries you can ride all the way to the top of Iisakkipää (back and forth 2 km). After the rocky descent from Vahtamapää the rest of the trail all the way to Saariselkä is nice and easy gravel route to enjoy.

    Gravel bike Saariselkä - Laanila - Prospektori mine – Hirvaskuru intersection is easy with gravel bike.
