Explore the Arctic nature around Kirkenes by electric fatbike

This guided e-fatbike tour takes you out of Kirkenes and into the surrounding Arctic nature — through forests, past lakes, and up to hilltops with panoramic views across the landscape. The wide tires provide stability on uneven terrain, while the electric assist helps you climb hills and cover longer distances.

Along the way, we share insights into local nature, wildlife, and everyday life in this remote borderland region. We stop at scenic viewpoints for a hot drink and a snack before returning to Kirkenes. The tour runs daily at 9:00 and 13:00. From mid-May to the end of July, the late tour runs under the Midnight Sun, cycling in steady evening light when the sun never sets.
