Kolari Biking Trails

Appetizer is a lift-served blue-graded line in Ylläs Bike Park on Ylläs Ski Resort Ylläsjärvi in Kolari, Lapland—plan from Ylläs Ski Resort's bike park trail descriptions, which place it at about 2.0 km from the top of the Ylläs Express chairlift with berms, a few wooden bridges, jumps, and rollers (all jumps can be rolled or bypassed slowly), plus a separate jump line with three medium table jumps on the western lower part(1). Yllas.fi positions the park among Finland’s long summer gravity routes, open roughly mid-June to early October, with the gondola reaching the fell top in about seven minutes(3). In the open lower section the route meets Ylläs Bike Park - Top Blue, which Ylläs Ski Resort markets as Ylläs Flow—watch for riders joining from that line at the junction(1). AuroraCottage summarizes how Ylläs classifies riding into green–blue–red–black tiers so you can line up skill with trail colour on the hill(7). About 1.5 km is the distance stored with this route; the resort trail card rounds the same line to about 2.0 km—use the resort map and on-hill marking for the exact top-to-base routing on the day you ride(1). On our map the line threads together with Ylläs Bike Park - Cutline near the upper end and sits close to other chairlift-served tracks such as Ylläs Bike Park - Top Red and Ylläs Bike Park - Mr. Hankey for mixing laps. Toward the Ylläsjärvi base the trace passes resort-side stops including the lean-tos Ylläs Ski Resort Ylläsjärvi, länsirajan laavu and Ylläs Ski Resort Ylläsjärvi laavu, plus the Ski Ylläsjärvi frisbeegolfrata and gr8 Ylläs Bowling; Lapland Hotels Saagan kylpylä and Lapland Hotels Saagan kuntosali sit close to the same Iso-Ylläksentie services for spa or gym time around a riding day. Lifts can close in thunder or strong wind; the bike park presentation on Ylläs Ski Resort points to Facebook for same-day lift and weather notes(2). Tickets, keycards, and rental tables are laid out on the bike park price list, with HILL Ski Rent Ylläs beside the gondola for downhill bikes and protection(4)(6). Ski.fi has chronicled how the resort keeps investing in new flow, jump, and enduro terrain as the park evolves(5).

Kirraa is a very short, steep bike park segment branching left from 95980 Murica on Ylläs fell in Kolari—within Ylläs Bike Park above Ylläsjärvi. The bike park presentation on Ylläs Ski Resort and Yllas.fi both stress long lift-served lines, three lifts including the gondola, and a summer window that shifts slightly from year to year(2)(3). Ylläs Ski Resort’s bike park trail descriptions spell out the junction: after a small wooden jump on Murica you can fork left into Kirraa for roughly 300 metres of fairly steep pitch, tight berms, stone steps, and a couple of jumps(1). The descent is about 0.3 km for this fork, matching the resort’s roughly 300 metre note(1). You arrive on Kirraa only after riding the upper part of 95980 Murica from the gondola top; Murica itself keeps a rougher, faster upper section than Reindeer Rally and includes features that can be rolled or bypassed before the treeline splits to Mr. Hankey, Full Enduro, or Kirraa(1). Nearby lines on the same summit network include Ylläs Bike Park - Top Red and Ylläs Bike Park - Full Enduro for riders who want different exit options after Murica. If you stay on 95980 Murica instead of dropping into Kirraa, you eventually pass Ylläs Ski Resort Ylläsjärvi laavu along that longer line—a better match for a long break than this quick spur. Lift tickets, keycard rules, and daily weather holds follow the resort’s bike park price list and bike park opening hours page(4)(5). Downhill bikes and protective gear are available from HILL Ski Rent Ylläs next to the gondola(6).

The Training Track at Ylläs Bike Park in Kolari is a very short lift-served loop of about 0.1 km beside the Ylläsjärvi base area, aimed at children and first-time downhill riders. Ylläs Ski Resort’s bike park trail descriptions place it from the top of the Vekkuli magic carpet: a gentle line to practise cornering and rolling small rollers, with soft grass alongside the tread so falls feel forgiving, and basic bicycle control is enough to ride it(1). Yllas.fi presents the bike park as Finland’s largest with routes for every level; the Training Track is their dedicated carpet-lift practice leg before longer chairlift- or gondola-served lines(3). The bike park presentation on Ylläs Ski Resort notes three lifts serving the area—carpet, chair, and gondola—so newcomers can progress once comfortable here(2). You are steps from the main services of Ylläs Ski Resort Ylläsjärvi, including Ski Ylläsjärvi frisbeegolfrata and gr8 Ylläs Bowling for non-biking breaks, and hotel facilities such as Lapland Hotels Saagan kylpylä nearby. The next step up in difficulty at the same lift sector is often Party Starter, another short line that Ylläs Ski Resort describes as an easy introduction with a few jumps before longer flow trails(1). For skills tuition, Bike Park School sessions start from the carpet zone for juniors and beginners(5). If you want walking as well as bike park laps, marked summer options such as Ylläs summer hiking route 1 tie into the wider Ylläs network from the same resort side. Ski.fi’s reporting underlines how much lift-served gravity riding Ylläs has added for summer visitors(6). Third-party trail listings such as Singletracks summarise visitor access and photos for travellers comparing bike parks(7).

This lift-served blue line on Ylläs in Kolari is the run Ylläs Ski Resort markets as Ylläs Flow: opened in 2023 as a long flow trail from the chairlift top and described there as wide, beginner-friendly, and one of Finland’s top long flow trails, first rolling above the treeline and then diving into the forest(1)(4). Ylläs Ski Resort’s bike park trail descriptions set it at about 2.1 km with gentle berms, rollers, and well-rhythmed jumps; in the open lower section it meets the Appetizer trail, so riders should watch the junction(1). Ski.fi’s coverage highlights it as a trail for all sizes and levels, with a smooth surface for relaxed laps or optional air off the sides(4). The bike park presentation on Ylläs Ski Resort ties it into a network promoted as among the longest lift-served gravity routes in Finland, served together with the Ylläs Express chair, gondola, and carpet lift(2)(3). The route is about 1.7 km on this listing; use the resort map and on-hill marking for spacing compared with the longer run described on the hill(1). Nearby lift-served lines include Ylläs Bike Park - Top Red for a more advanced chairlift-start option, and Ylläs Bike Park - Appetizers shares the lower-mountain blue circuit where Ylläs Flow feeds in(1). Yllas.fi notes a typical summer season from mid-June to early October, with gondola uplift in about seven minutes for the longer summit lines and pricing that depends on tickets and rentals(3). Laps end near the Ylläs Ski Resort Ylläsjärvi base; HILL Ski Rent Ylläs supplies downhill bikes and protection beside the lifts, with ticket products on the bike park price list(5)(6).

On this page the red-graded chairlift flow line at Ylläs Bike Park is listed as Top Red; Ylläs Ski Resort markets the same trail as Air Flow, a 2024-opening flow-and-jump line from the Ylläs Express top station with a red difficulty rating and a very high jump count(1)(2)(4). Ylläs Ski Resort’s bike park trail descriptions set it at about 2.2 km: from the chairlift, riders turn left and ride a short transfer to the start, then follow more than fifty table and double jumps plus step-ups, fast sweeping berms, and rollers, with the upper half slightly mellower and the lower half more technical; the largest table jumps reach about 10 m(1). About midway, the line links across to Ylläs Bike Park - 95980 Murica, so junction awareness matters(1). Fast riding calls for line choice, speed control, jump technique, and focus, while every feature can still be rolled slowly after learning the trail; windy days affect jump take-offs(1). The summer 2024 bike park news and Ski.fi’s coverage both describe Air Flow as Allegra-built under trail lead Craig Brickser, deliberately stepper than the blue Ylläs Flow line from 2023, with extra jumps driving the red grade(2)(4). Hello ALLEGRA’s award copy ties Ylläs Flow and Ylläs Air Flow together as the partnership that helped Ylläs win Finland’s Bike Park of the Year 2024 recognition(5). This geometry record is about 1.4 km; compare segments on the resort trail map and on-hill signage with the roughly 2.2 km full Air Flow description in Ylläs Ski Resort’s bike park trail descriptions(1). The lift-served blue companion for a mellower chairlap is Ylläs Bike Park - Top Blue; Ylläs Bike Park - Appetizers and the carpet-area training lines share the same hill(1). Yllas.fi summarises a typical summer season from mid June to early October, gondola uplift in about seven minutes for the longer summit routes, and pricing that depends on passes and add-ons(3). Laps finish toward the Ylläs Ski Resort Ylläsjärvi base; HILL Ski Rent Ylläs supplies bike park bikes and protection beside the gondola, with lift products on the bike park price list(6)(7). Kolari is the municipality; the fell rises above Ylläsjärvi in Finnish Lapland.

The Ylläs–Levi mountain bike trail is about 58 km point-to-point across Kolari and Kittilä in Lapland, linking the Ylläs and Levi resort areas mainly through Pallas–Yllästunturi National Park. For the national park description of this line and how it fits the wider summer trail system, read Luontoon.fi(1). Visit Ylläs explains etiquette on shared summer corridors, how to read the official summer trail map, and why staying on marked bike routes matters in the park(2). The City of Kittilä publishes the municipal picture for outdoor trails around Levi alongside Metsähallitus-managed national park routes(3). The Ylläs–Levi MTB project site summarises how travel direction alternates by year (even calendar years toward Levi, odd years toward Ylläs), breaks the ride into distance and elevation options—including a roughly 75 km main option with more climbing, a lighter roughly 55 km line, and short variants from the Äkäslompolo–Kukastunturi–Kotamaja logic or from Pyhäjärvi parking—and lists the physically hardest pulls such as the saddle climb on Yllästunturi, the long Kukastunturi ascent, technical singletrack between Kotamaja and Pyhäjärvi, and the Homevaara and Pyhätunturi ramps(4). NUTS MTB previously hosted mass-start editions with buses between Levi, Ylläs, and Pyhäjärvi trailheads; their pages remain useful for understanding typical start zones near Ylläs Ski Resort Ylläsjärvi, Y1 parking in Äkäslompolo, Pyhäjärvi pysäköintialue, and Levi Zero Point(5). Practically, many riders stage from Yllästunturin luontokeskus Kellokas, where parking sits beside the visitor centre and a kota offers a first break without leaving the trailhead cluster. The same summer bike corridor crosses the lower Varkaankurunpolku walking route near Kellokas where Varkaankurun kota and campfire spots sit in the gorge. The route soon threads Äkäslompolo village fringes—Äkäslompolon uimaranta and Lapland Hotels Äkäshotelli sit just off the early kilometres—then swings toward the wide climb toward Kukastunturi and the Kotamaja latukahvila–Kotamaja kota rest area before the most technical forest segment to Pyhäjärvi. Pyhäjärvi autiotupa, Pyhäjärven uusi kota, and Pyhäjärvi pysäköintialue gather on the lake shore with a venelossi, fishing jetty, and campfire infrastructure for a long lunch or an overnight breather. Past Aakenusjärvi kota and boardwalk crossings, Muusan päivätupa and the Merkkinen waypoint break up the forest traverse before the ride eases onto wider ski-track bed toward Levi, passing Levin hiihtokeskus and finishing near Ylläs Ski Resort Ylläsjärvi and Lapland Hotels Saaga on the Ylläsjärvi side depending on your chosen link. Near Ylläs Ski Resort Ylläsjärvi the summer network also meets Tuomikurun kierros, vaihtoehtoinen reitti, the marked hiking link over Tuomikuru for walkers who want a summit detour. Napapiirinseikkailija walks the corridor in stages from Äkäslompolo toward Levi: wide bench up Kukastunturi, then rooty, rocky singletrack with steel stairs crossing Lainiojoki after Kotamaja, shoreline riding and mire bridges before Aakenusjärvi, and finally fast ski-track bed toward Pyhätunturi and Levi with an event finish over the Levi lookout bridge when organisers set that line(6). The same write-up notes most riders stay in the saddle almost the whole way if they are willing to walk short stair pitches after rain. If you need gear, Hidden Trails Lapland bases summer rentals at Kellokas—use their Rent a bike page for models and booking(7)—and Sport Corner Ylläs in Äkäslompolo lists MTBs and e-MTBs on their Vuokratuotteet page(8). Combine careful map reading with spare tubes and tools; this is a remote line despite passing famous resorts.

For trail facts and national-park rules for this marked summer bike loop, see the Kesänkijärven polkaisu page on Luontoon.fi(1). Visit Ylläs describes it as one of the area’s easiest family rides: a loop of just over 13 km from Äkäslompolo to Lake Kesänkijärvi and back through Nilivaara forest(2). The mountain bike loop is about 13.4 km. A common starting point is Lapland Hotels Äkäshotelli/Pirtukirkko in Äkäslompolo, where a wide track enters pine forest before a gentle descent toward the lake. Near the village shore you pass Äkäslompolon uimaranta and Äkäslompolon lintutorni, handy if you want a swim or a short birdwatching stop at the end of the day(2). Along Lake Kesänkijärvi the surface is a reinforced tread that makes for relaxed riding. About 5.4 km from the usual start you reach Kesänkijärven uusi kota and Kesänkijärven laavu with dry toilets nearby; Kesänkijärvi itä esteetön laituri sits close to the water. Farther along the shore are Kesänkijärvi kalastuspaikka and Kesänkijärven veneenlaskupaikka, and two lake parking areas—Kesänkijärvi pysäköintialue and Kesänkijärvi pysäköintialue 2—useful if you prefer to join the loop from the lake side. From the east end of the lake, Visit Ylläs notes views toward Kellostapuli across the water, and the Kesängin Keidas café when open(2). After the lake the route uses gravel road, then climbs toward Nilivaara before descending toward Navettagalleria hiihtomaa and the Äkäslompolo shore to close the loop(2). For a lighter outing you can skip the Nilivaara climb and follow gravel back toward the village after circling the lake(2). The same trail corridor meets longer summer routes in the area: for example Kukastunturin kierros and Ylläs-Levi MTB share links near Äkäslompolo and Kesänkijärvi. In Pallas-Yllästunturi National Park, cycling is only allowed on official marked summer bike routes—stay on the marked track and pass other visitors calmly(2). Sport Corner Ylläs in Äkäslompolo rents mountain bikes, e-MTBs, and fatbikes with helmets and repair kits; booking ahead is wise in peak weeks(3).

For summer bike routes, shared-trail etiquette, rental contacts, and the official outdoor map layer coloured for cycling, start with Visit Ylläs(1). The mountain bike loop is about 8.7 km and circles Ylläsjärvi in Kolari, mostly on wide, maintained forest tracks and local paths between the village shore and the Ruonaoja stream. That makes it a compact option when you want lake views and village services without committing to the longer connections toward Äkäslompolo or Kesänkijärvi. The Visit Ylläs family cycling article(4) highlights easy village access to Ylläsjärven uimaranta and the shoreline play and exercise area on Niementie—useful landmarks for the end of this loop. About 3.7 km into the ride you pass Ruonaoja kota on the stream linking Ylläsjärvi and Ylläslompolo—a simple shelter which the Ylläsjärvi village site notes summer access by bike or on foot from several approaches(5). The stretch is a natural halfway pause before the line turns back toward Niementie. Finish the loop beside the local exercise and activity park and Ylläsjärvi laavu, handy for a swim or picnic after easy rolling terrain. The same guidance stresses staying on routes marked for summer cycling—especially where Pallas-Yllästunturi National Park rules apply on branches you might link in—and riding considerately around other trail users on shared corridors(1). The City of Kittilä’s outdoor pages describe how municipal and Metsähallitus networks fit together around Levi and Ylläs and point readers to luontoon.fi for national park detail(2). On the Kolari side, the municipality highlights Tunturi-Lapin reitit Oy’s upkeep of the broader Ylläs trail mesh that feeds these village loops(3). If you extend the day, the same lakeside area connects logically to Ylläsjärvi-Kesänkijärvi maastopyöräilyreitti and Ylläsjärvi-Äkäslompolo maastopyöräilyreitti, and Ylläslompolon kierros shares the stream-side kota sector—use the summer map to confirm junctions before mixing loops(1)(6).

95980 Murica (the digits match the Ylläsjärvi postcode) is a lift-served downhill line in Ylläs Bike Park on Ylläs fell in Kolari. For feature-by-feature riding notes and junction logic, start from Ylläs Ski Resort’s bike park trail descriptions(1): Murica starts at the gondola top station, is steeper and rougher in its upper part than Reindeer Rally, opens with a rock-gap jump that rewards accurate speed and handling with a bypass on the right, and continues through straights and tighter sections with jumps, smaller berms, rockier passages, a dock-style double drop (bypass on the right), boxes, and faster berms before the treeline. Before the treeline you can branch to Ylläs Bike Park - Mr. Hankey on the left, continue straight into Ylläs Bike Park - Full Enduro, or take Ylläs Bike Park - Kirraa to the left(1). Midway along Air Flow, a separate red jump trail, there is a connection across to Murica for riders piecing laps together(1). Ylläs Ski Resort states that the full Murica line is about 3.4 km as they measure it in the bike park, that riding it needs speed control, line choice, and confidence, and that every feature can be rolled or bypassed(1). The bike park presentation on Ylläs Ski Resort highlights three lifts usable with a bike—the gondola, Ylläs Express chairlift, and Vekkuli carpet lift—and notes the 2026 summer opening from June 13 onward(2). Yllas.fi meanwhile summarises the park as running from mid-June to early October with ticketed lift access(3). On our map this route record is about 1.5 km long as a single point-to-point leg descending toward the Iso-Ylläksentie base area in Ylläsjärvi. That lines up with the resort description of the lower forest and village approach after the treeline, where you are close to amenities such as Lapland Hotels Saagan kylpylä, Lapland Hotels Saagan kuntosali, gr8 Ylläs Bowling, the Ylläs Ski Resort Ylläsjärvi base facilities, Ylläs Ski Resort Ylläsjärvi laavu, and Ski Ylläsjärvi frisbeegolfrata—practical spots for food, sport, or a break once you have rolled off the hill. At the lift network level the line shares the same upper staging as Ylläs Bike Park - Top Red(1). Beyond Murica itself, Miian Niina’s summer cycling trip write-up is a readable, practical companion to Lapland mountain biking: it covers why full-suspension or e-assist rentals help on rooty or rocky trails, how difficulty varies across the region, and how café stops along marked routes fit into a touring day—useful context if you are combining bike park laps with pedalled circuits in the Ylläs area(4). Lift tickets, keycard rules, and Hill Ski Rent bike or protection packages are spelled out on the bike park price list(5). Downhill-oriented rental packages sit next to the gondola through HILL Ski Rent Ylläs(6).

The Ylläsjärvi–Äkäslompolo mountain biking trail is about 16.2 km as one continuous line through Kolari in Lapland, linking the Ylläsjärvi and Äkäslompolo resort sides of the Ylläs massif inside Pallas–Yllästunturi National Park. For the full trail story, seasonal restrictions, and national park rules, read the route page on Luontoon.fi(1). Visit Ylläs explains how to plan rides using the official summer outdoor map and how to share trails considerately with hikers and other visitors(2). Luontoon.fi describes a long pull onto open fell where the surface is reinforced and wide enough to feel technically easy under the wheels, then views around Tuomikuru kota before a short additional climb to the highest point along the line. On the open fell the horizon opens repeatedly; the forested Kesänkijärvi shoreline section then threads back toward Äkäslompolo village amenities(1). You can ride the corridor in either direction, and a signed summer branch also connects toward Ylläsjärvi ski resort(1). Along the line from the Äkäslompolo end you soon reach forest and lake scenery at Kesänkijärvi, including an accessible timber dock on the east shore and the newer kota for a sheltered break roughly 5 km from the start. The Tuomikuru cluster near the high country—kota, shared campfire spot, and dry toilets a few hundred metres apart—makes a natural lunch stop before the trail works down toward Iso-Ylläksentie. There the Saaga spa and gym buildings sit just off the corridor, and lean-tos beside Ylläs Ski Resort Ylläsjärvi offer quick shelter before the shoreside swing past Ylläsjärvi lean-to, the local activity park, and Ylläsjärvi beach for a swim after the ride. Maaseutuverkosto’s public project sheet for Kolari describes an EU-backed investment that added durable gravel surfacing plus roughly 126 metres of steel boardwalk with bypass platforms along part of the alignment so the riding surface holds up better and assistants can pass when needed(3). That sits in the wider push to present Ylläs–Pallas riding as an international-quality summer product while respecting wetland terrain. For human context from the villages, Heleä Training’s detailed Äkäslompolo loops write-up notes how well the wider Ylläs network is marked and how riders, runners, and walkers fit together on shared summer corridors; the author also appreciated an e-MTB when rocky climbs and rooty singletrack tightened(4). The same article points readers to Sport Corner Ylläs in Äkäslompolo for helmets and bike hire tied to their collaboration(4). Hidden Trails Lapland, based at Yllästunturi Nature Centre Kellokas, rents full-suspension e-MTBs and fatbikes in summer and reminds everyone to buy the official Ylläs outdoor map so user fees flow back into trail upkeep(5). If you want a longer day, the Ylläs-Levi maastopyöräilyreitti uses overlapping services near Äkäslompolo and adds tens of extra kilometres toward Levi. Treat national park postings as final if a segment is temporarily rerouted after maintenance.

Mr. Hankey is an expert-level (black) downhill bike park line branching left from 95980 Murica on Ylläs fell in Kolari—part of Ylläs Bike Park, which Ylläs Ski Resort promotes as among the longest lift-served park routes in Finland(2)(3). For how each feature rides, start from Ylläs Ski Resort’s bike park trail descriptions(1): they describe Mr. Hankey as turning left at the first split off Murica, opening with technical rock, rock jumps and gaps, and short steep rolls, then—after halfway—two large drops with no alternate lines and a 7 m gap jump at the finish, plus careful attention to landing zones. The line is explicitly aimed at very skilled riders only, with precise speed and line control and no tolerance for hanging out in jump landings(1). The bike park presentation on Ylläs Ski Resort states that Mr. Hankey was completely renewed and opened in autumn 2025(2). You reach it using the same gondola-served top network as 95980 Murica, Full Enduro, and Kirraa; Murica’s upper section is faster and rougher than Reindeer Rally, with a rock-gap jump near the top that demands accuracy or a marked bypass(1). Where Mr. Hankey ends, you can link into lower sections of Air Flow and Murica again(1). On our map the stored geometry for this listing is about 0.9 km long. The same resort pages quote roughly 2.9 km for the full Mr. Hankey line as they define it in the bike park network(1); use their trail card and on-hill marking as the practical reference. Kiipeilysohlot’s 2021 bike park tour article recalls Mr. Hankey as a rocky detour off Murica that merged back above Murica’s long deck drops—useful background on how riders experienced the area before the 2025 rebuild(4). Lifts, day tickets, and weather holds follow Ylläs Ski Resort bike park rules; Yllas.fi notes the park runs about mid-June to early October with prices that depend on tickets and rentals(3). Downhill bikes and protective gear are available from HILL Ski Rent Ylläs next to the gondola(6).

For mountain-bike route ideas, shared-trail etiquette, and links to the official Ylläs summer map, start with Visit Ylläs(1). The Ylläs summer map lists this ride as its own collection so you can check the current line, junctions, and any seasonal notices before you leave(2). The City of Kolari points visitors to the broader Ylläs route search for trail maintenance context around the villages(3). Ylläslompolon kierros is about 11 km as a loop starting and finishing by Ylläsjärvi. It threads together lake shores, the Ruonaoja streamside, and the bird-rich Ylläslompolo wetland east of the village. The Ylläsjärvi village association explains how Ruonaoja links Ylläsjärvi and Ylläslompolo and how a maintained corridor—also used by local snow routes in winter—reaches the forest road and bird tower parking area; an older boardwalk loop along the lompolo shore has been closed where planks were no longer safe, so the marked bike line is the practical way around(4). About 4 km into the circuit you reach Ruonaoja kota, a volunteer-maintained day shelter and fire ring where firewood should be used sparingly. A few kilometres farther, the Ylläslompolon lintutorni sits beside a short, compacted path: the lower viewing deck is built for barrier-free access and the tower looks out over the mire, Ylläs, and the Pallas–Yllästunturi skyline. Closer to Ylläsjärvi again, Vähäjoen rantautumispaikka marks a small carry-down beside the forest-road bridge over Vähäjoki—the outlet between Ylläsjärvi and the wetland—where paddlers often step off the water. The loop completes near Ylläsjärven lähiliikunta- ja toimintapuisto, Ylläsjärvi laavu, and Ylläsjärven uimaranta on Niementie, handy for a swim after the ride. Terrain is mostly wide gravel and smooth forest soils typical of the Ylläs multi-use network, with short bridging and mire-edge sections that can feel exposed in wind. Ride expectantly around walkers and paddlers near the shore: Visit Ylläs and local guides emphasise yielding at ski-track crossings, using a bell or voice when overtaking, and staying on marked summer bike routes wherever Pallas–Yllästunturi National Park boundaries touch the line(1). The trip reports on Taipaleita(5) add practical detail on finding the tower spur from Ylläsjärvientie. Taipaleita’s Ylläsjärvi outing describes launching from the Niementie beach and what to expect beside the Vähäjoki bridge carry(6). Longer saddle days slot in cleanly by joining the Ylläsjärvi–Kesänkijärvi mountain bike trail or the Ylläsjärvi–Äkäslompolo mountain bike trail where those spines meet the village network, or by short-circuiting part of the shore on the compact Ylläsjärven kierros if you want a smaller loop.

Cutline is a short lift-served segment inside Ylläs Bike Park on Ylläs fell above Ylläsjärvi in Kolari. For planning and safety, start from Ylläs Ski Resort’s bike park trail descriptions and the bike park presentation on Ylläs Ski Resort: those pages name longer main lines such as 95980 Murica, Mr. Hankey, Kirraa, Air Flow, Appetizers, and Reindeer Rally, but they do not publish a separate numbered write-up specifically titled Cutline—check the resort route map and on-hill signing to see how this connector is shown on the day you ride(1)(2). Yllas.fi positions the park as Finland’s big summer lift-served destination with a season roughly mid-June to early October, gondola access to the top in minutes, and routes for many skill levels(3). Ski.fi reporting has covered how the resort keeps expanding flow, jump, and enduro-style offerings as the bike park matures(5). The stored trail for this listing is about 0.5 km and runs point-to-point within the bike park fabric. Nearby or linking lines on our map include Ylläs Bike Park - Top Red, Ylläs Bike Park - Mr. Hankey, Ylläs Bike Park - Appetizers, Ylläs Bike Park - Lower Twist, and Ylläs Bike Park - Reindeer Rally—read those trail cards for difficulty context while confirming Cutline’s role at junctions(1). Lifts may close in thunder or high wind; for daily lift and weather updates the bike park presentation points riders to Facebook(2). Day tickets, keycards, and rental blocks are laid out on the bike park price list, with HILL Ski Rent Ylläs next to the gondola for bikes and protection(4)(6).
