    A hike with two short climbs, returning through the valley with a gentle uphill stretch along the stream. Along the way, stunning panoramic views of Urho Kekkonen National Park.

    Author’s recommendation

    A wonderful MTB area with plenty of options. The “SaaiselkÄ Open Fell Biking” map (and accompanying website) gives a good idea of the options available and the difficulty levels of the trails.

    Safety information

    MTB gear (including a helmet); on the course, there’s only one somewhat more challenging (red) section—at Moitakuru—that involves a descent.

    Roadbook

    Start in Saariselka (bike shop next to K-market) and head to the lookout point at Kolmiomittauksen Muistomerkki. Descend to the Palo-Oja shelter, continue north over the summit, and descend to the Moitakuru cabin. Stay at roughly the same elevation until Luttotupa, then follow the stream to the Saariselkä ski resort.

    From the first viewpoint, you can follow the MTB arrows marked with the number 2.
