The route, which has already become a concept with its magnificent fell landscapes, offers an unforgettable challenge for mountain bikers.
The first Ylläs-Levi MTB event was cycled in 2015, after which the popularity of the event and the route has made cyclists from Finland and abroad return to the fell landscapes to challenge themselves.
Ylläs-Levi MTB offers the opportunity to cycle between two well-known fell centers, partly in the Pallas-Yllästunturi National Park. It is safe and easy for participants to join the event. The Ylläs-Levi route is open throughout the summer season and can be cycled independently at other times as well.
