I’ve been the Linesman of Finland now little bit over a year. When I started I didn’t have anything else in my mind except to add more nice routes to TET Finland but during this summer 2022 I finally realized the “Goal” to reach: Finland can be or should be one of the main adventure countries in Europe!
Until now we have only been the “ride-through” area on the way to Nordkapp. There’s been too much shortcuts and not riding the whole marked route because we are not interesting enough! This has to end… Finland definitely has more to offer to all adventure motorcycle riders in Europe (and the rest of the world!)
There will be new update coming soon: Section 4 will follow the Russian border very close and it goes all the way to the Raate road and connects with section 1 there. That most southern part between Helsinki – Vaalimaa we already have in TET.
After this next update TET Finland will have 4 mainroutes from south to north:
Section 1
This is the main route that starts from Helsinki West Harbour. It goes west from Helsinki until it starts to go north from Siuntio. Like this:
Section 2
Was released already before I came as a Linesman. And this is very nice addition to TET Finland because I think I wouldn’t have been thinking this kind of route through Finland myself!
This section I will probably update so that it will start already from the south side of Hämeenlinna and the route would go from the west side of Tampere. But this is the section 2 now:
Section 3
This was published few weeks ago. The section starts from the north side of Naantali and it pretty much follows the west coast of Finland. At the moment this section ends in Tornio but in the future it will go all the way up to Muonio and connect with Section 1 there. This is section 3 now:
The main goal is to make Finland Great again… I mean it could be the main area to reach for the adventure riders to make THE adventure.
We have so much to offer! So I really hope more and more adventure riders will find our beautiful country!

Hi, thank you for posting the route for the TET, I’ve just moved to Finland from Canada and am hoping to buy a bike this spring to make a start on the TET, and hopefully getting to NordKapp.
Nordkapp can be quite disappointing!! The last 160 km’s from Alta to Nordkapp is paved road (OK, there are some very nice sceneries!) and the weather in Nordkapp is mostlu very cloudy and rainy. If you have any experience of gravel/ offroad/ adventure riding I’m also recommending the south part of the Old Alta Post road which is not in TET Norway anymore If you can’t find that part of the road please contact me before you go…
Thanks, for the reply.
I’ve done a fair amount of adventure travel in the US and Canada, on dirt roads, as well as trips deep into the interior countryside and mountains. So I really appreciate any help in getting more off road and isolated form the local populace.
I really want to do the Finnish and Russian border part of the TET. I currently live 45 mins south of Kuopio in Sorsakoski, but will be moving to a house near Kaavi if the purchase go through.
My trips in North America where on a 2007 KTM 640 Adventure, amazing bike especially with the huge tank.
I’ll probably buy a Yamaha XTZ660 once I’ve moved, and then hopefully do a few trips in this beautiful country.
WTF = Welcome To Finland!
Unfortunately the Section 4 (TET Section that follows eastern border) is probably easiest of all 4 main sections. The route is all the time kind of normal gravel road -there are no tricky OffRoad parts. But from the other hand there is also one part where it is possible you will not see any peple or wehicles!! (From Lieksa to Suomussalmi it’s almost 300km without any villages, restaurants or gas stations!)
