This guided evening excursion takes you into Ruka's backcountry to explore dark, snow-covered winter trails that wind through deep forests and across wide, open landscapes. Riding a stable e-fatbike equipped with a high-powered light setup provides the necessary traction, visibility, and control to move smoothly over the night-time snowpack. Visa, your local cycling guide, selects and adapts the route in real time, matching the pace and trail selection to the group's physical fitness and cycling experience to maintain a comfortable, low-threshold flow.

As a local expert, Visa shares insights into the surrounding wilderness, Arctic astronomy, and the specific winter conditions that shape this environment. Navigating away from the ambient resort glow into the pristine darkness of the backcountry maximizes your possibility to witness the spectacular Northern Lights painting the sky. The progression of the ride is designed to give you a thorough feel for night-time 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 deep, peaceful silence of the winter woods up close, surrounded by the region's distinct tykkylumi (heavy crown snow) trees under a vast sky. While stopping to search for the Aurora Borealis, you will warm up with hot berry juice and a selection of local snacks before heading out to complete the adventure.
