Rails to trails

SuuntoRide — February 16 2021

A winter riding camp somewhere warm, like Mallorca or Madeira, would have been the norm just a year ago. Not anymore! We had to look the other way for an adventure ride – to the cold, wild north.

Follow us on a wintery two-wheeled adventure from Suunto HQ to the magical landscape of Kiilopää in Finnish Lapland.

Watch now!
