Mountain biking routes

For example, you can find a 4 km mountain biking trail in Espoo’s Central Park, including some technically challenging sections on varied terrain. The 1.3 km trail located next to the Oittaa ski tracks / fitness trail consists of an undulating singletrack trail, partly gravelled areas, some rocky sections and otherwise normal forest terrain. Route 2000 is a mountain biking gem. The route is 110 kilometres long and runs through four municipalities in the capital region. Route 2000(external link, opens in a new window) (In Finnish)

Pay attention to other people when cycling. Please also note that you cannot ride through private yards, make changes to the terrain or build structures for mountain biking. Use existing trails and routes. If you have ideas for developing mountain biking in Espoo, you can contact the city through the feedback system.

• Cycle on marked trails or at least existing paths. Cycling on existing paths and routes does not usually harm the terrain.
• Riding correctly does not damage the terrain. Avoid locking your brakes and riding in areas that are susceptible to wear, even if someone has ridden in the area before you. If necessary, walk your bicycle past swampy path sections, for example.
• Check the rules of the area and routes beforehand. Mountain biking in nature conservation areas is often not allowed. Espoo’s nature conservation areas on the map(external link, opens in a new window). Do not share photos or route descriptions of locations in which cycling is prohibited on social media.
• Consider others who are out and about in nature. Indicate your approach with a bell and give way if necessary. Do not litter.
