Scenic 30 km gravel ride in Pallas–Yllästunturi National Park with fell views, quiet forests, a campfire break at Red Sand beach, and a chance to swim in crystal-clear lakes.

Discover the untouched beauty of Pallas–Yllästunturi National Park on a scenic gravel bike journey through one of Lapland’s most iconic landscapes. This 30 km ride takes you deep into peaceful wilderness, where quiet gravel roads, open fell views, and crystal-clear lakes create a truly unforgettable setting.

After a 30-minute transfer from Levi, we begin our ride on smooth gravel roads surrounded by vast northern scenery. Gravel cycling offers the perfect blend of ease and exploration — allowing you to ride comfortably while reaching remote places far beyond regular routes.

As we descend toward the tranquil shores of Kivijärvi, the landscape becomes softer and more serene. Here, you can cycle along the lakeside and, on warm days, take a refreshing swim in the clear Arctic water.

The route continues through remote forest trails, where the silence of Lapland becomes almost tangible. Along the way, you may spot free-roaming reindeer, taste wild berries straight from nature, and stop by a small stream to cool your feet or refill your bottle with fresh spring water.

Midway, we arrive at the stunning Red Sand beach, overlooking Lake Pallas. Here, we enjoy a relaxed campfire break with snacks and grilled sausages while soaking in the surrounding wilderness.

After the break, we continue through scenic terrain, taking in the final moments of this peaceful ride.

This gravel bike experience offers a perfect combination of flowing riding, pristine nature, and quiet moments — an authentic Lapland journey beyond the ordinary.
