Information

The daytime electric fatbike trip is in the daylight and the length and level will be based on the participants’ fitness level and biking experience. Riding a fatbike is surprisingly easy. However, it does not power itself and you need to provide the necessary pressure on the pedals and forward thrust. To participate in this activity, you need to be able to ride a bike and must be in normal physical form.

Electric or analogue (NEW!)

Our tours are primarily on electric fat bikes. This means that the effort is a little less, the difference between fit and slightly less fit cyclists is minimal, and the opportunities for play, speed and fun are even greater than on analog fat bikes.

However, if you are a fit and experienced cyclist, we also have a great, analogue fat bike for you!

Rest by an open fire

We stop to light a fire at one of the many rustic shelters in the Alta Valley and enjoy snacks and tea/coffee brewed on the fire. Alternatively, we can relax around the fire in the large lavvu (Sami herdsmen’s tent) when we return to GLØD HQ.

Duration

The duration of the tour is three hours, from the time you are picked up at your hotel until you are dropped off again, 10:00 – 13:00 (10 am – 1 pm). The normal biking time will be 60-90 min.

Clothing

We recommend wearing ski pants and a windproof jacket. If the temperature is low, add woollen long johns and top. You also need warm winter shoes, a hat and windproof mittens/gloves. We recommend bringing a small backpack with space for some spare clothes, such as a down jacket to wear during the break! If you don’t have one, we will fix it.

Moreover, we recommend wearing two pairs of woolen socks (preferably one thin and one thick pair).

Arctic Living

Riding a fat bike is something many Alta locals do. It’s an easy way to get from A to B, for instance getting to work, the shop or dropping up or picking up children at kindergarten. Consequently, our guests may experience meeting locals while you are riding on the fat bike trails in Alta. In many ways, fat biking is a “kinder egg experience”. It’s a nature-based experience, exercise and is environmentally friendly.
