What is the minimum age to join?

Riders must be at least 12 years old; e‑bikes make longer distances manageable for teens with basic cycling experience.

Are transfers included?

Yes, transfers from Levi are included to simplify logistics for visitors staying in town.

Do I need fishing gear or a license?

Basic fishing is offered, but check with the operator about gear and local regulations; a permit may be required for certain species.

How rough is the terrain?

Expect gravel tracks, packed sand, and short singletrack; an e‑fatbike reduces effort but steady handling is important on loose sections.

Is the cottage heated and what are sleeping arrangements?

The package includes a simple cottage stay; for specifics about bedding and shared versus private rooms, confirm with the operator at booking.

Can I choose to camp instead of staying in the cottage?

Yes — ask about tent options when booking; availability may vary by season and group size.

Overnight E-Fatbike to Lake Pöyrisjärvi — Lapland Tundra Ride from Sirkka

Ride into the wide silence of Lapland on an overnight e‑fatbike journey to Lake Pöyrisjärvi, beginning near the reindeer herding village of Näkkälä and based out of Sirkka in Lappi, Finland. The trail runs across treeless tundra, past shallow ponds and ice age sand dunes, and pauses at a small Sámi place of worship before you reach the lake’s clear shore. You will spend the night in a simple cottage, swim in fresh water, try your hand at fishing, and close the evening at a campfire beneath the Arctic sky. The route covers roughly thirty to forty kilometers of mixed terrain, using gravel tracks, packed sand and short stretches of singletrack. An electric fatbike eases long distances and soft surfaces, making the mileage accessible to riders from age twelve and up, though wind and loose sand demand steady handling and attention to technique. Vegetation is low and sparse — dwarf birch, heather and lichen — which keeps views broad and exposes the rounded contours left by the last ice age. Cultural context is woven into the ride. Näkkälä is a working reindeer village and the small place of worship on the way offers a quiet moment to learn about Sámi traditions. On the return you stop at the Fell Lapland Visitor Centre to explore exhibits on regional geology, wildlife and indigenous culture. Transfers from Levi are included, which makes logistics straightforward for visitors based in town. What makes this trip special is the combination of active travel, a minimal overnight expedition feel, and proximity to singular Arctic landscapes. The open tundra frames long, low horizons and delivers evening light that lasts for hours during summer; the sand ridges carved by glacial action are rare in these latitudes and make memorable photo subjects. The cottage stay and campfire transform a day tour into a small expedition, giving time to swim, dry gear, and listen for reindeer on the ridge. Practical notes: bring layered clothing for rapidly changing weather, waterproofs for rain and wind, and a headlamp for pre-dawn movement. Respect private and sacred Sámi sites by keeping noise low and staying on designated trails. Book early during the summer season when midnight sun windows fill quickly, and remember that tundra vegetation is fragile — stick to tracks and pack out all waste. Guides here are small-group specialists who know how to read the weather, find placid fishing spots, and share stories about Sámi life and reindeer husbandry. If you want to sleep outdoors instead of in the cottage, ask about a tent option; likewise there are winter or shoulder-season departures that change the character of the route. Reservations are recommended well in advance during peak summer months. Bring a spare battery.
