WHAT YOU'LL DO IN THIS ADVENTURE
Fat biking offers a form of cycling that uses specially designed bikes with oversized tyres to ride on soft and unstable terrain – opening up wild, remote environments that regular bikes can’t reach.
The Pole to Pole immersive fat biking experience is set against the stunning backdrop of Northern Sweden. Designed for you to learn the fat biking techniques from our experienced instructors, who will guide you through the carefully structured journey so you can experience the beauty of the Arctic on two wheels.
This five-day experience brings the team together to learn essential cold-weather skills, get hands-on with the kit on the bike to prepare you for your first taste of what riding in the cold. Throughout the progressive week, you will build up to riding across frozen lakes, exploring snow-covered trails, and gradually building to more demanding and remote routes. Awaits
The adventure culminates in an overnight fat bike journey to a remote, tradition Swedish log hut, with rewards of dinner being cooked over an open fire and unspoiled views of the winter night sky.
