This guided excursion takes you into the Ruka's backcountry to explore packed winter trails that wind through deep forests and across open, frozen landscapes. Riding a premium electric-assist fatbike provides the necessary traction and power to move smoothly over the snowpack. Visa, your local cycling guide, selects and adapts the standard 20+ km route in real time, matching the pace and trail selection to the group's physical fitness and cycling experience to maintain a comfortable flow. 

As a local expert, Visa shares insights into the surrounding wilderness and the specific winter conditions that shape this environment. The progression of the ride is designed to give you a thorough feel for winter cycling while keeping the group together and moving at an enjoyable pace.

Midway through the excursion, the group will pause at a scenic viewpoint. This rest stop offers an opportunity to experience the silence of the winter woods up close, surrounded by the region's distinct tykkylumi (heavy crown snow) trees. While stopping, you will warm up with hot berry juice and a selection of local snacks before heading out to complete the loop.
