SuomeksiMountain Biking in Ylläs
The Ylläs shared trails for hiking and mountain biking in all difficulty levels. You can enjoy some of the finest mountain biking experiences available by conquering the Kukastunturi Fell. Surrounded by Finnish taiga Kukastunturi offers stunning scenery. The long-awaited Ylläs-Levi Mountain Bike Trail, which runs through the Pallas-Yllästunturi National Park, was opened in the summer of 2015. A little later in 2017 National Park opened most routes for biking, and several other cycling routes and destinations are located nearby.
Best Mountain Biking Season: June-September. Snow melts until June and season lasts until ground freezes in October.
