Cycling holiday in Finland
Fresh unpolluted air, manageable and beautiful terrain, and thousands of kilometers of designated bike paths make Finland an ideal cycling destination. Whatever your preference, from fast road to gravel biking and from city tour to bike-packing, Finland offers many options. The milder seasons of spring, summer and autumn are most popular for cycling, but winter biking is also feasible.

Saimaa island route (156 km)
One of the most popular cycling routes in the Saimaa region is the stunning Saimaa Island Route, which takes you to the sights of Lappeenranta and Imatra and three charming villages in Taipalsaari, Ruokolahti and Joutseno. It is worth setting aside several days for the route, as there is plenty to see. For those interested in geology, cycling along the great Salpa fells, shaped by the continental ice sheet, is a special treat.
