Finnskogen Gravel Event – Sweden

Touring in the heart of Gravel-land on the border of Sweden and Norway.
We arrange full-day trips on Saturday and Sunday. Monday we will do a half-day tour.
Optional Off-road training will be offered on Friday for an extra cost
The tours will take place in both Sweden and Norway.

We split into groups based on experience and riding skills. The main difference between groups will be the need for speed.
