Arctic by Cycle: Urho Kekkonen National Park MTB Loop

The Urho Kekkonen National Park MTB Loop is a 131km and 2-3 day mountain bike loop on the edges of one of the oldest and biggest national parks in Finland. The route starts from Ivalo via fast and smooth gravel roads to the northern border of the Urho Kekkonen National Park, where a 50km continuous single- and double-track starts across the western parts of the national park. The route is mostly easy riding on a mountain bike with occasional short more technical sections, keeping the riding interesting. Good riding, combined with some old, but well-kept wilderness shelters by qin clear rivers and creeks make the route a fantastic way to explore the nature and mountain biking trails of the Urho Kekkonen National park.
