Arctic by Cycle: Arctic Post Road Gravel Route

The Arctic Post Road Gravel Route is a gravel-rig-friendly version of the Arctic Post Road MTB route, which avoids the challenging single-track sections of its big brother on mostly paved back roads. On the Finnish side, the route follows the line of some of the highest fells in the country in the Pallas-Ylläs National Park, before reaching the northern limit of the boreal forests and entering the treeless tundra of the Pöyrisjärvi Wilderness area. On the Norwegian part, the route follows the old post road, mostly a traffic-free 4x4 road connecting the old mountain lodges, all the way to the Alta valley and reaching the coast on some valley-side recreational gravel paths.
