Looks so nice! Didn't expect this kind of trails just outside tampere! Looking forward to next winter. Will definetely try it out.

Impressive, Tampere is the next city where I am going to live, it looks really interesting go there and doing this kind of routes by bike. Just one doubt, what kind of bike do you have? you need special wheels? also could you show me in a map exactly what route are you doing... and I was thinking to buy Garmin Colorado for bike off-road running, but not sure if you could suggest me any other GPS that maybe is better for those routes. As you could see, I have lots of doubts :-)

Thanks!

Just normal MTB bikes. Disk brakes are best for winter, and wider tyres with less pointy knobs float better on a snowy trail. Studded tyres for hard icy conditions only.

I could send you GPS-trails no problem, but it's best to start with locals because the condition of the trails varies. Don't get too excited though. Trails like these take time and optimal weather to form. Last winter we had this kind of trails for 1 to 2 months only. Too frequent snow is bad. Keep in touch.

Thanks a lot for fast response I appreciate a lot. Normally, in Spain we have lot of sun, so for this reason why I have lots of doubts about snow. Anyway, I have a good bike with disk brakes, but not sure if it is more rentable bring mine there in Tampere or directly buy one there. Could you suggest me some good bikes shop in Tampere?

Thanks!
