Winter biking in Sallatunturi

The winter landscape of Sallatunturi offers outstanding conditions for e-fatbike adventures. The routes wind through varied fell nature, sheltered forests and scenic sections — in peaceful surroundings where there is no need to rush.

Winter cycling in Salla is guided by the following routes: Kontiolampi Loop, Sukkala Loop, Ruuhitunturi Route, Keselmä Loop, as well as a route circling the fell, which partly passes through the unique landscapes of Salla National Park. The recommended riding direction on the routes is clockwise.

Fatbikes and e-fatbikes are conveniently available for rent in Salla Ski Resort — hop on the saddle and let the fell lead the way.

Guidelines for Winter Cyclists

• Respect other route users — cycling on ski tracks is prohibited
• Ride carefully and take extra caution on downhill sections
• Signal your intention to overtake well in advance
• Ride only on marked and permitted routes

Winter walking trails

Winter walking trails take you easily to snowy forest and campfire sites. Trails are maintained with a snow mobile so it is easy to walk there just with your normal winter shoes. Please note that most of the trails are not illuminated. Plan your winter trips properly so the darkness won’t surprise you.

Snowshoe trails

With snowshoes you can easily go to places that can’t be reached skiing or walking. Fells and forests are waiting to be conquered! In Sallatunturi snowshoes are rented by Salla Ski Resort. Snow shoe trails are marked with blue sticks that have a reflector.

Prepare yourself for winter adventures:
Dress warmly, keep especially your toes, fingers and head warm.
Extra gloves and socks are good to have with you.
Note that there is only few hours of daylight in the mid-winter. Make sure darkness won’t surprise you. Take at least water bottle with you.
