Description
This route is about 45.7 km as one point-to-point ride through Kittilä’s Levi fell area in Lapland, linking forest roads, ski-service tracks and marked mountain bike paths that belong to the wider Levi and Ylläs trail network. For the latest maps and PDF cycling sheets covering Levi, Kätkätunturi, Pyhätunturi and Aakenus, the City of Kittilä directs visitors to Visit Levi and Kittilä information points and publishes downloadable cycling and hiking maps. The same outdoor-routes page highlights the maintained Ylläs–Levi mountain bike connection across Pallas-Yllästunturi National Park alongside other local options. Metsähallitus lists Pallas-Yllästunturi National Park routes on Luontoon.fi with filters for hiking and cycling. Visit Levi describes year-round mountain biking around the fell: wide machine-built lines, faster singletrack and rockier, rootier sections depending on where you point the handlebars, plus lift-served riding in Levi Bike Park as a separate offering.
Along this ride, the terrain shifts from open fell-side tracks toward lake shores and village access roads. About 24 km along, Totovaaran pysäköintialue sits at a major junction where winter ski trails and other outdoor routes meet—useful if you arrive by car and join the line here. Near 34 km, Vuollittaman hirvikämppä autiotupa and the nearby dry-toilet shelter mark a backcountry stop in the Vuollittaman area. Around 39 km, Kätkän laavu offers a lean-to break in the Kätkä–Immeljärvi forest mosaic. Nearing Immeljärvi, Immeljärvi Wilderness Hut sits close to the water; respect hut rules and leave space for hikers and other users. The trace then reaches Levi’s service area by Immeltie and the village core—restaurants, shops and accommodation cluster here if you are finishing a long day.
The signature long connection in this landscape is the Ylläs–Levi mountain bike trail: event materials and route write-ups describe 30–75 km variants with alternating annual directions, big climbs on the Ylläs side and a technical singletrack section between Kotamaja and Pyhäjärvi before easier forest roads toward Levi. Bikeland’s tour-style notes stress old-growth forest, duckboards through wet ground and a mix of flow and tech singletrack balanced by quiet forest roads on the Levi leg—typical of how riders experience the corridor as a long day or relaxed overnighter. If you are planning the classic cross-fell link rather than only local Levi loops, combine Pallas-Yllästunturi National Park routes on Luontoon.fi with the Ylläs–Levi MTB materials.
Zero Point rental shop at the foot of the Front Slopes keeps a large summer fleet of mountain bikes, e-MTBs, fatbikes and full-suspension rigs for exploring these tracks.
Length & route
The route is about 45.7 km point-to-point on this listing. Official and tourism materials usually describe the full Ylläs–Levi mountain bike connection at roughly 50 km with longer 55–75 km event variants and a shorter 30 km option. Expect a long day in the saddle for the full cross-fell itinerary; split days or linking shorter Levi-area loops match how many visitors ride here.
Getting there
Paper maps for the Levi area are sold at Levi Tourist Information on Myllyjoentie and Kittilä information services; digital layers are available through Levi Track Service and the municipality’s map links. For the Ylläs–Levi corridor, event pages list start areas that change with direction in alternate years—check the current GPX and narrative before you travel. Kittilä–Levi is served by Kittilä Airport and road access via Kittilä; train travellers often use Kolari with connecting buses toward the fells.
Good to know
Finnish Lapland’s biting insects can be intense from late June into August; late summer and early autumn often bring cooler, calmer riding with fewer crowds. Stay on marked cycling routes in the national park, respect reindeer herding areas and Metsähallitus camping rules, and carry water—streams look inviting but treat or filter if you are unsure. Race weekends add traffic and closures on parts of the Ylläs–Levi line; check NUTS MTB or resort calendars if you want a quiet tour.
History
The Ylläs–Levi MTB route took shape around 2014–2015 as a venue for a mountain biking event connecting the two major fell resorts. Ylläs–Levi MTB describes how the riding direction switches each year between Ylläs and Levi.
Itinerary
Day 1 (about 45 km on this line): From the western sectors toward Totovaara, ride to Totovaaran pysäköintialue near 24 km for a break and orientation at the multi-trail junction. Continue through Vuollittaman hirvikämppä autiotupa around 34 km, then Kätkän laavu near 39 km. Aim for Immeljärvi Wilderness Hut or the Levi shore services toward 44–46 km, then roll into Levi village for food and lodging.
If you are riding the full Ylläs–Levi corridor instead, split at wilderness huts such as Pyhäjärvi or Aakenusjärvi on the longer published variants.
Where to rent bikes
Zero Point rental shop at Hissitie 8, Sirkka, stocks mountain bikes, e-mountain bikes, e-fatbikes, fatbikes and full-suspension bikes for children and adults—summer hours are typically daily late morning to evening; confirm current times before you travel.
The Ylläs–Levi event reverses direction in alternate years; local Levi loops can be ridden in either direction depending on your link to ski tracks and roads.
