Fatbiking in Ivalo

Enjoy cycling on a guided fatbike ride around the village of Ivalo. Wide tires and well-maintained tracks make riding surprisingly smooth and stable, even in colder conditions.

The route takes you through the village, nearby forests, and along the Ivalo River and its old riverbeds, known locally as “Vuopaja”. From the ready-made tracks, you’ll get a glimpse into how the village has developed around the river. Along the way, we also pass flood embankments built around the village centre to protect against spring floods caused by ice break-up. You’ll get a feel for everyday life in a small northern town while enjoying the surrounding scenery.

The pace is adjusted to the group, so you can take it easy or pick up the tempo for a more active ride. Fatbiking is a fun and approachable way to move year-round, and thanks to good grip and stable handling, the ride feels safe and enjoyable even on snowy terrain.

We'll take a break along the route to enjoy drinks and a small snack, giving you time to recharge before continuing the journey.
