Winter biking trail

Get ready for an adventure in a snowy wonderland

As a mountain biking paradise, Tahko is also ideal for winter biking. Enjoy the smooth ride on a 13km long trail that leads you to most beautiful views in a snowy wonderland. Tahko´s winter mtb trail is suitable for extra-wide tires, that are ideal for smooth and easy cycling on snow and ice.

Electric and non-electric fatbikes can be rented from the area, with a guide or for your own adventures!

The Tahko winter cycling route starts next to the Tahkolaakso parking area, near the Huutavanholma gate. The trail-like route detours via the charming Nallelaavu shelter and continues alongside a ski track base toward the Safaritalo at Nipasentie. From there, a continuous loop route winds through the scenic landscapes of Nipanen and Tarpisenmäki.

The total length of the route is approximately 13 km. By adding an out-and-back section from the Nipanen hut along Pehkuntie to Pehku and back, the total distance increases to about 21.5 km. Without the stunning 3 km Tarpisenmäki loop, the route can also be completed as a shorter loop of around 10 km.

The winter cycling route is a shared-use trail, meaning it is also used by adventurers on foot and on snowshoes.

• The route is best suited for bikes with wide tires.
• Maintenance status: The winter cycling route has been groomed and is rideable in other sections, except for the stretch between Nipasen kota and Kettukangas, which has not yet been opened due to insufficient snow. The route from Tahko center to Nipanen hut (Nipasen kota, 6 km one way) is open, and from there there is a connection to Pehku via Pehkuntie. Please check the current maintenance status and ask for additional route tips from bicycle rental companies.
• In addition to the nature-based route, you can also head out on a bike trip to destinations such as the Ilveslaavu shelter, located about 6.5 km from Tahko village center, which can be easily reached via cycle paths
