electric mountain bikes
Have you already tried riding an electric fat bike?
Incredible riding comfort, insane grip and agile handling. This is an experience not to be missed. An electric fatbike is an excellent ride for the fell terrains of Lapland. Our traditional favorite, the Pulmankijärvi road, is a wonderful experience for a cycling trip! Utsjoki has hundreds of kilometers of unmarked mountain biking trails, which you can explore in more detail in the Activities/Cycling section and on the Utsjoki tourism website. The trails offer riding for cyclists of all levels and, best of all, in stunning landscapes!
We currently have four electric fatbikes in our selection.
The bikes are located at Lapinrinne 10 (Nuorgam). We deliver the bikes to the starting point and pick them up from the return point for an additional fee, if needed.

skisets
With sliding snowshoes, you can easily and funlessly move around in the nature of Nuorgam.
They are wider and shorter than normal backcountry skis and feature an integrated skin base, which increases grip. Compared to traditional snowshoes, the ski-like design of sliding snowshoes allows for a skiing-like progression and even descending hills. In terms of load-bearing capacity, they are on par with traditional backcountry skis. Although sliding snowshoes look like skis, their characteristics are more akin to snowshoes. Ease, fun, and convenient transportability make sliding snowshoes a pleasant alternative for winter activities. Sliding snowshoes do not require special ski boots; instead, regular shoes fit into the convenient universal bindings.
Adjustable poles are included in the skinbased ski rental. If you are missing any necessary outdoor equipment, ask us. You can also rent ahkios for longer trips or even for pulling children. We currently have seven pairs of skinbased skis in our selection.
Join the skinbased touring ski trip
- Weatherproof gloves: Ski gloves or warm mittens protect your hands. It is often windy on the fells, so bring extra gloves if needed.
- Clothing: Preferably weather-appropriate technical clothing. Dress in layers, for example, a merino wool base layer closest to your skin, a light mid-layer on top of that, and insulated outerwear as the outermost layer. If needed, you can rent a warm outdoor jumpsuit from us.
- Footwear: Footwear that is warm enough, with a good fit for wool socks.
- Sports or ski goggles: It is a good idea to bring sports glasses or similar eyewear to protect your eyes from the wind and blowing snow.

snowshoes
Snowshoes allow you to explore the nature around Nuorgam where there are no trails. We rent lightweight snowshoes.
For the trip:
It is a good idea to bring snacks on a trip. In cold weather, more energy is consumed, so it is wise to prepare for that.
Hot cocoa or juice in a thermos tastes great on a snowshoeing trip. Take your phone with you. In freezing temperatures, the battery drains faster, so it's a good idea to charge the phone before every trip and keep it warm.
It is also a good idea to pack spare clothes in your backpack for breaks, as you easily get cold when stopping for a longer period.
Backcountry skis
With backcountry skis in the Kaldoaivi wilderness, you can get to the places you can in the summer too.
We rent lightweight Fischer backcountry skis with steel edges. Easy-skin climbing skins make them versatile for traversing various terrains. The Fischer is a sturdy, durable, and lightweight touring ski.
The skis are equipped with bindings that can be easily adjusted to fit your own shoes.
