Mountain biking and paddling have recently become more and more popular ways to move about in nature. Almost any part of Pello is good for mountain biking, but the very best settings can be found near the slopes of the Ritavalkea winter sports centre and Svanstein Ski, which plans to host summertime downhill riding events in the future. In winter, mountain biking is possible on the snowmobile trails using so-called fat-bikes, which have thicker tyres than usual MTB´s which enable cyclists to enter softer terrain. The boldest riders can push themselves and take their bikes on the scenic trails, which are sure to provide a serious challenge for anyone. Hop on your bike and ride the nature trails across Pello from south to north.
