Scenic electric fat bike group ride in Rovaniemi
Join the fun & enjoy the winter scenery and all in love with e-biking on the epic winter bike trails of Ounasvaara hill!
Do you want to experience a unique winter cycling experience and see the most stunning scenery around Rovaniemi? We ride this tour on every Monday, Wednesday and Friday! Our guide will lead the group to the top of Ounasvaara hill and help you to enjoy winter cycling on the area’s magical winter trails.
This tour is perfect for those who are just starting out in mountain biking. Once you know how to ride a regular bike, you’re ready to enjoy winter cycling on electric fat bikes! Our special e-fatbikes will make even the uphills easy and fun. Winding through snowy winter trails will be an unforgettable experience.
Description of the trip
A scenic ride on electric bikes starts from our garage in the center of Rovaniemi, from where we first head towards the Ounasvaara hill. In no time, we cross the iconic Jätkänkynttilä Bridge over the Kemijoki River and soon you’ll find yourself in the middle of a magical winter forest, enjoying Rovaniemi’s nearby nature. The route varies somewhat depending on the skill level and fitness of the participants. Anyway the first goal is always the Tottorakka summit, with spectacular views over the landscape. This place can also be reached via a very easy route if necessary.
After two hours of adventure and nice photos at the top, we descend back to the city for refreshing services.
E-fatbike makes climbing easy
In winter the excursion will be ridden on electric fatbikes. The e-fatbike is a true Swiss army knife for nature lovers; the big tyres carry you well on snowy trails and the electric motor helps you to climb easily to the top of the hill. If you can ride a normal bicycle, you can certainly do this too!

Participant’s own travel insurance.
Our guides are professionals to look after you and your safety. In addition, Roll Outdoors has liability insurance to cover any errors caused by our staff. However, surprises can happen when riding bikes and you are ultimately responsible for your own safety. We recommend that you have valid travel/accident insurance.
During the winter season, temperatures can vary from +5°C to freezing cold -30°C and it’s worth putting some thought into your clothing. It’s a good idea to wear a little more than you would on a cross country ski trip, but less than you would on a downhill skiing trip. 🙂 🙂
- Thermal bottom layer. Double it on really cold days. (approx under -18°C)
- Mid layer, at least at the top
- Winter jacket and pants
- Warm gloves. Mittens may complicate breaking, but they are way more warm on cold days out.
- Winter boots. Woolen double socks are a good choice in frosty weather.
- A windproof beanie and/or a balaclava under the helmet.
Note. Avoid long jackets and loose trousers. They can stick to the tyre/chain. The same applies to free-hanging scarves.
