Winter cycling with e-fatbikes

Explore the Arctic winter landscape around Kirkenes by electric fatbike

This guided e-fatbike tour takes you through snowy forests, across frozen lakes and plateaus, and along quiet winter trails. The wide tires provide stability on snow and ice, while the electric assist helps you move through the terrain and handle small climbs. Along the way, we share insights into local nature, wildlife, and everyday life in the Kirkenes region. You may come across animal tracks in the snow and, with a bit of luck, spot reindeer in the area. We make short stops at scenic spots for photos and a break, where you can enjoy a hot drink. Routes may vary depending on weather, snow conditions, and the group’s fitness level.

If you join an evening e-fatbike tour, the northern lights may dance above as you ride across the frozen landscape.
