Bike Tour

The forest breathes cold and clear as the group pushes off from the tiny rental shop at Pyhätunturi. Snow squeaks under wide, low-pressure tires and the first push of the electric motor nudges riders past a stand of birch trees leveled by a recent wind. Above the treeline the fells squat like slow-moving icebergs; the sky is a hard, pale blue that makes every exhale visible. In two hours on a Bliss Adventure premium e-fatbike, a single afternoon opens into a different scale of Lapland — close enough to smell spruce sap, far enough from roads that the silence feels deliberate.

Adventure Tips

Layer for temperature swings

Wear a moisture-wicking base, an insulating mid-layer and a windproof outer — temps can drop quickly after sunset.

Use moderate motor assist

Start with low assistance to conserve battery and increase on climbs or softer snow for traction.

Protect extremities

Bring insulated, waterproof gloves and a balaclava — numb fingers make braking and shifting difficult.

Arrive early for a quick fitting

Show up 15 minutes before departure to get sized to the bike and listen to the safety briefing without rush.
