In the Syöte region, there are three mountain bike routes to choose from: by combining these routes, you can pedal close to 80 km. There are very few road sections along these routes! You can also rent Fatbikes which are easier to pedal during the winter months.

Trekking

Wildlife & Nature

Come and visit the national park in the summer or admire the autumn colours from the top of a wooded hill. In the old spruce forests of Syöte, you can hear the twittering of red-flanked bluetails, and on the nature trails, you can familiarise yourself with the natural features of Syöte, as seen through the eyes of the old Naavaparta ("the bearded forest spirit"). A day trip to the former Crown tenant farm is a trip back in time.

Birdwatching

Wildlife & Nature

Red-flanked bluetails twitter in the morning in May and the views of the golden eagles open out from the summits of the wooded hills. During the winter, large flocks of black grouse sit on birch branches. The Ahmakallio observation tower is a great birdwatching spot!
