Challenging

This tour combines the pure joy of gravel cycling with the rugged, iconic sights of Oulanka National Park! The adventure is planned for active enthusiasts who enjoy a long day in the saddle and want to experience the wilderness at its most authentic. The route leads from Ruka toward unique landscapes where the gravel rolls and the climbs provide a rewarding athletic challenge. We keep the pace relaxed, ensuring plenty of time to enjoy the surroundings. Highlights of the day include well-deserved breaks by the roaring Myllykoski rapids and the legendary red rock walls of Kiutaköngäs.

On the route, there are several possibilties for a lunch break. Just before heading Kiutaköngäs there is a summer restaurant at the Oulanka National Park Visitor Center. Light lunch or snacks are possible with a visit to Sale Market later on the planned route.
