Description
Ketunlenkki (planned) is a short point-to-point mountain biking route of about 4.8 km in the Iso-Syöte and Luppovesi area in Pudasjärvi. Luontoon.fi lists Syöte’s official cycling-route hub and is the right place to confirm naming, permissions, and updates before you head out. The public name flags that the line is still in the planning pipeline in the same open outdoor datasets that feed national maps, so treat opening status, marking, and fine routing as subject to change until Metsähallitus publishes a dedicated trail page for this exact segment.
The ride strings together lakeside recreation around Luppovesi with the Kettutupa day-hut cluster south-east of the ski hill. Early on you pass Luppoveden nuotiopaikka ja kato and Luppoveden uimaranta, then Syötteen Luppopark and the lower slopes cluster at Hiihtokeskus Iso-Syöte. About 2 km into the route, Kettutupa päivätupa and Kettutupa offer a sheltered break in the woods; dry toilets sit close by. This segment meets Taivalkoski–Atsinki–Syöte mountain biking and Maisemareitti scenic bike loop (Syöte) at the Luppovesi stops, so it works well as a short add-on after a lake swim or before joining the longer Koillismaa traverse.
For Syöte’s wider mountain bike network Iso-Syöte describes over 120 kilometres of maintained routes looked after by Metsähallitus and tells riders to confirm current trail write-ups on Luontoon.fi. That same resort page lists Harjujen kierros, about 25 km, once known as Ketun kevennys—a much longer circuit partly overlapping Pitämävaaran lenkki and Syötteen kierros—not the same object as this short Ketunlenkki planning entry. Syöte markets the area for summer forest riding from roughly June into autumn with singletrack, boardwalks over wet ground, and strong local services. Jalkaisin’s winter snowshoe notes from Peikkopolku and Ketunlenkki nearby illustrate how several marked leisure loops share trail names and colours in the same forest; the account is about winter walking, but it is a useful reminder to read tree marks carefully when several Syötteen routes run close together.
Length & route
The mountain biking route is about 4.8 km as one point-to-point leg, not a loop. It is separate from Harjujen kierros (about 25 km; formerly marketed as Ketun kevennys), which Iso-Syöte still presents as its own day loop. Until Luontoon.fi lists a feature page for this exact Ketunlenkki line, rely on local signs plus the resort and park pages for network context.
Getting there
Use the Iso-Syöte and Luppovesi access roads off Syötetie (93280 area). The route begins near the Luppovesi beach and Luppopark cluster, within riding distance of Hiihtokeskus Iso-Syöte. Finish in the Kettutupa forest clearing; combine with Luontokeskus pysäköointialue or other Syöte car parks when tackling longer circuits on neighbouring trails. If junctions are unclear, ask Iso-Syöte Bike Rental at the front-slope base for same-day route tips.
Good to know
Respect Metsähallitus riding rules inside Syöte National Park whenever the line crosses park land: stay on marked bike corridors and follow shelter and fire instructions from Luontoon.fi services. Riding season in the destination’s marketing runs about June–September for fly-and-ride trips.
Where to rent bikes
Iso-Syöte Bike Rental at the lower front slope rents fatbikes, e-fatbikes, full-suspension mountain bikes, child sizes, and protective gear for Syöte trails and the Bike Park; three-hour slots are bookable online and longer hires use the form on the same page, with summer 2025 prices listed there from about €37 for three hours on a fatbike. Lapland Bike Hotel runs a bike rent shop on site with route maps for sale, a wash station, storage, basic repairs, and spare parts—details are on their services page.
Guided tours & Experiences
Lapland Bike Hotel advertises cycling guides who share seasonal route tips and ideas for what to do in the area, alongside their rental and workshop services—see their services page for how to book or ask at the hotel. Syöte lists partner businesses for guided mountain biking and directs readers to Iso-Syöte for bike rental and guide service.
Point-to-point from the Luppovesi recreation cluster toward the Kettutupa day-hut clearing. Combine with Taivalkoski–Atsinki–Syöte mountain biking or Maisemareitti scenic bike loop (Syöte) via the shared lakeside points if you want a longer day.

Distance
Roughly 1–2 hours for most riders at Syöte forest pace, depending on fitness and photo stops.
Est. Time
Expect typical Syöte forest singletrack and wider forest tracks—roots, short climbs, and soft spots after rain—consistent with how Iso-Syöte describes the wider MTB network.
