Winter biking

Winter biking offers the opportunity to enjoy beautiful winter landscapes and nature while exercising.

Winter cycling is cycling in winter conditions, especially on snowy and icy roads and trails. For winter cycling, special electrically assisted fat bikes (e-fatbikes) are used. Winter bikes have wider tires for better grip on snow and ice, and electric assist makes it easier to navigate challenging terrain.

N.B! Routes in open spaces can have steep snow and difficult to navigate in windy weather. When cycling in winter, it is good to wear warm clothes, good gloves, long shoes and windproof clothing to keep warm in cold conditions.
