Mountain biking – get ready to grab your bike and hit the trails!!

Mountain biking is a great way to experience the wonders of the natural world and take in the beauty of the landscape around you. Rokua Geopark was made for mountain biking, offering a range of challenging forest routes to gentle scenic trails which you can take as fast or slow as you like! Trails consist of shared use trails through varied terrain, featuring boreal forest, lakes, river valleys and points of interest such as sightseeing towers, natural attractions, camping huts etc. 

The hub for mountain biking is the Rokua National Park area, where there are about 45 kilometers of marked mountain biking routes in the beautiful and silent forest. You can go biking on your own or get a guided mountain biking trip if you wish. In winter time you can utilize the 9,4 kilometers long multi-use track for fatbiking as well!

In addition to Rokua area, mountain biking is possible also, for example, in Oulujärvi Hiking Area in Manamansalo island and on the Tar Route, which goes through the River Oulujoki Valley. Please be cautious, there might be hikers on these routes as well.


You can rent fatbikes from the following companies in the Rokua Geopark area:
