Arctic Post Road film documents the bikepacking adventure of Henna Palosaari and Sami Sauri above the Arctic circle. The Arctic Post Road bikepacking route follows the remnants of the old Copenhagen-Alta post road starting from the fells of Pallas-Ylläs national park in Finnish Lapland and runs through the Finnmark highlands all the way to Alta on the Arctic Ocean.
The route crosses a wilderness area that is three times the size of Belgium and one of the last remaining wilderness areas in Europe . This gravel bikepacking film showcases the beauty and harshness of the area.

Just watched today! It's so amazing adventure using just the bicycle on a rocky roads!
Hi Henna, wonderful places, trip and video 🙂 just a question…is it possible to rent a bike at the starting point to ride along the gravel road till Alta? Thx
Which bikes do they use?
I wonder what camera do you girls use? it looks sooooo nice !!!!
not seeing anybody for many kilometers… gosh what were you preparing for? a city tour? I'm so bored now🫣
If this doesn’t make you jump on a bike a head to the trail I don’t know what will 😍 Amazing video, thanks for sharing!
an awesome upload!
Great adventure and filming. I dislike when there’s an obvious party involved and the film (like this) pretends as tho there wasn’t. Who is behind the camera??
who is the third person taking the videos? we want to see his gear also 🙂
Apenas 60km!?
Can you comment which month did you go? And what level of mosquitos?)))))) Thank you
❤
Lost of R E S P E C T ladies, great job!!!! Greetings from the Netherlands.
So who's the camera person–cause this video looks like it had a third co-creative partner? Was this person Jukka Luhas "driver and filmmaker support"? Hope the mossies weren't too bad. 🙂
Nice view of roads. Salam from indonesia. https://youtu.be/dDqMkBB3iRA
A beautyful film about a beautyful landscape with two beautyful ladies, ….beautyful!!!! keep on filming, please. One question, what framebrand is Sami's bike?
Good day to you!
I am a senior rider on HONDA motorcycle from Japan.
I am enjoying camping ,touring and upload video.
Your touring video is so nice!
Awesome!
Full supported !
Have a nice day my friend!
what bikes are used for this kind of stuff because they are always drop bars but all the travel bikes I see for sale are always straight bar mtb drive train and not even compatible with drops
Such a beautiful and inspiring video, it makes me want to grab my gravel bike and go for an adventure! 🙂⛰
Wow, it really makes me want to go there, thanks also for the Komoot collection!
stupid commercial.. no thank you
Why don't you use mountain bikes for such a trip?
Suunto is a watch brand that advertises rock-solid performance and sturdiness, but that's not true. I bought a Spartan Ultra for €600, it was repaired twice and now Suunto is telling me that it won't is no longer repairable (8 years later) for a brand like Suunto this is unacceptable, given all the misleading advertising they do on the after-sales service and the solidity of their watches. what they were able to offer me was to buy a watch again
What an amazing adventure!
7:27 “look at this suelo”
lol #spanglish
XC MTB is much better for this adventure.
Great video and it looks like loads of fun, how easy is food supply on these routes? Something worth considering for future adventures 👍
nice cinematography
Who is the third person? The one shooting you both?
Lovely❤
Excellent film. Good work!
Is there a packing list of what you two got with you?
this is very cool
Petualangan yang sangat menyenangkan dengan bersepeda,bisa menjelajahi keindahan alam tanpa batas.I like your vidio,good very good👍🤝🙏

Thank you for taking me on your fantastic tour. Looks like a rough but dream journey.
amazing
Amazing video 🥵
what does the cameraman all time?
great
🥱
Why did you train yourself to talk with a speech disability (“vocal fry”)?
Nice video! I read elsewhere that you were riding the F/GR and Sami the F/AR. Were there any major differences? Do they have the same frame?
I'm doing a bikepacking trip from Kolari to the North Cape to Trondheim with a buddy, starting next week, and I'm so excited!! This route is essentially our first 400km, and it looks spectacular 😀
From Ethiopia to Kenya
