Imagine cycling through the Arctic wilderness in winter: the only sound you hear is the snow crunching under your tires. With oversized wheels and electric assistance, fat bikes make it possible to float across frozen lakes and snow-covered trails with surprising ease. On this guided tour, you’ll ride through quiet forests, icy landscapes, and open views of the surrounding fjords. Your guide will set a pace that fits the group and share stories about Arctic life, wildlife, and history along the way. We’ll stop for hot drinks in the snow — and if you join an evening departure, the northern lights may dance above as you ride across the frozen landscape.

Tour highlights

  • Ride electric fat bikes across frozen lakes and snowy trails
  • Experience the silence of Arctic winter — just snow under your tires
  • Small groups for a safe, personal adventure
  • Chance to see wildlife tracks or even northern lights (evening tours)

Good to know

  • Tours run in most conditions, from crisp clear days to light snowfall. Temperatures can range from +5°C to –20°C. Riding in Arctic weather is part of the adventure — but for safety reasons, we may cancel or reschedule tours in case of extreme conditions (e.g. strong winds, ice storms, or unsafe visibility). Your safety is our utmost concern.
  • Family-friendly? Yes, for teenagers and adults. Minimum height: 160 cm. Not suitable for small children.
  • The Northern Lights are a natural phenomenon, and sightings can never be guaranteed.
  • As a responsible tour operator, we may cancel the tour on short notice due to unfavorable weather conditions. In such cases, you will receive a full refund.
