The most beautiful gravel adventure of the summer

14.-15.8.2026 Koli, Lieksa

Sorahiisi 2026 will be held on 14.-15.8.

Lieksan Koli is the base for Sorahiisi mountain biking.

The first pre-sale has closed. The sale will reopen in December 2025.

A national landscape, a hilly route, gravel in all its forms - Sorahiisi offers gravel cycling on the best roads in Europe in the Lieksa and Juuwa area.

When we get to Koli, we're going to have a good drive! The shorter Sunset Ride and Sorahiisi 160 offer a hand-picked cycling route to suit everyone.

There's also the Sorahiisi 320, a 200-mile gravel run from Pielinen to the eastern border, starting at night. The six-man class is both a race and an adventure, with shorter distances being low-pressure fitness runs.

Welcome to Koli! Vive le Sora!
