Arctic by Cycle: Savukoski-Pelkosenniemi Gravel Loop

The Savukoski-Pelkosenniemi Gravel Loop is a pleasant and easy 137km 2-3 bikepacking route connecting the two villages and municipal centers of the East Lapland area on some forgotten world-class gravel and dirt roads. The route can be ridden by spending the night in one of the villages, camping, or taking advantage of the refugios along the way. The route also functions as a gateway deeper into the Eastern Lapland and it can be connected to Korvatunturi Gravel Loop and Pyhä-Luosto National Park MTB Loop, as a part of the longer East Lapland tour.
