Description
Kelkkalantie pyöräilyreitti is about 6.9 km point-to-point through Nuuksio National Park on the Vihti side of the lake plateau, mostly on the forest maintenance road known in park materials as Kelkkalan huoltotie together with neighbouring permitted cycling corridors such as Kurjolammentie. Metsähallitus reminds visitors that in the national park you may cycle only on routes marked for cycling—mainly gravel roads, low-standard cart tracks, and short path sections that suit a normal bike if you are ready to walk short steep or rooty bits. The wider Nuuksio cycling network is not separate bike infrastructure; national cycling route 2 crosses the park from Siikajärvi past Haukkalampi toward the Salmi area, and this segment links the Valklampi trailhead cluster with Kattila and Haukkalampi amenities. For closures, etiquette with other visitors, and the definitive map, start from the Nuuksio cycling pages on Luontoon.fi. The City of Vihti adds municipal outdoor context on its retkeily pages. Vihti sits on the national-park edge and shares many of these trailheads.
Most riders begin from Valklammentien pysäköintialue or Kurjolammentien uusi pysäköintialue, then roll past Tikankolo vuokratupa with Saarilampi tulentekopaikka and Saarilampi telttailualue about a kilometre out—handy for a swim stop or picnic before Oravankolo vuokratupa and Oravankolon sauna appear in the spruce forest around 2.4 km. The middle kilometres climb and dip through typical Nuuksio moraine woodland before Kattilan alempi pysäköintialue, Kattilan uusi pysäköintialue, Kattilan rantasauna, Kattila savusauna, Kattila varauskota, Kattila torppa, Kattila ylempi tulentekopaikka, Kattila niityn varattava telttailualue and Haukanholman laituri string together services where many people pause to eat, book a sauna, or launch a small craft. Near the ride’s end, Haukanholman telttailualue, Haukanholman keittokatos, Haukanholman tulentekopaikka, Haukkalampi Haukanpesä varaussauna, Haukkalammen pieni pysäköintialue and Haukkalampi iso pysäköintialue cluster at Haukkalampi—one of the busiest gateways to the park and rich with day-trip infrastructure Jonna Saari describes for winter visits (the same fireplaces, cooking shelters, and reservation saunas matter in summer too).
On foot- and bike-friendly connections, Klassarinkierros shares the Valklampi parking and Tikankolo huts; Yhdysreitti Kattila - Mustalampi meets this line at Haukanholman laituri if you want to continue toward Mustalammen keittokatos; Haukkalampi pyöräilyreitti and Haukkalammen saaren polku sit a few hundred metres away at Haukkalampi for short add-on loops. Ride expectantly, brake for hikers on shared sections, and carry a map because these roads are not marked like a city bike path. If you need a fatbike or e-fatbike near the park, Suomen luontokeskus Haltia rents them by the hour or day from its shop.
Length & route
About 6.9 km point-to-point; not a loop. Follows permitted forest-road cycling corridors in Nuuksio National Park between the Valklampi trailheads and the Kattila–Haukkalampi service area on the Vihti side of the park.
Getting there
Drive to the Valklampi access roads north-west of Helsinki: Valklammentien pysäköintialue and Kurjolammentien uusi pysäköintialue are the practical trailheads at the western end of this line; Kattilan alempi pysäköintialue and Kattilan uusi pysäköintialue serve riders who join near Kattila. Haukkalampi iso pysäköintialue and Haukkalammen pieni pysäköintialue lie at the eastern end if you shuttle or finish there. Summer bus route 245 continues deeper into Nuuksio toward Kattila according to park-area trip write-ups; confirm current timetables locally before planning.
Good to know
Cycling is restricted to designated corridors in the national park; do not shortcut across fragile ground or pedestrian-only paths. Campfires belong only to official fireplaces; check forest-fire warnings. Wood is often stocked at Haukkalampi-area sheds for sawing to length—use sparingly and follow hut etiquette. Winter ice or packed snow can make grades slippery; adjust tyres and speed. Dogs must stay on leash in the park when that rule applies.
Where to rent bikes
Suomen luontokeskus Haltia rents standard and e-fatbikes for two-hour, day, or multi-day slots through its Haltia Shop fatbike page; reserve ahead when the national park is busy. MTB Tour Nuuksio advertises mountain bike hire with sizing help for independent rides—see their services page for current hourly pricing.
Guided tours & Experiences
Haltia Lake Lodge lists a two-hour guided e-fatbike experience in Nuuksio on Visit Espoo’s product page; it includes bike and helmet hire with the guided ride—note minimum and maximum group sizes when booking. MTB Tour Nuuksio runs year-round guided bicycle safaris on national-park terrain, with skill-matched routing and prices published alongside their other services.
Point-to-point along Kelkkalantie and linked forest roads from the Valklampi parking area toward Kattila and Haukkalampi; ride back the same way or combine with Haukkalampi pyöräilyreitti or connector trails for a longer loop.
