Tour description

Embark on an unforgettable cycling adventure through the stunning archipelago located just north of Lofoten. This hidden treasure offers a tranquil retreat where you can pedal through diverse and breathtaking natural scenery. Your journey takes you along serene fjords and expansive ocean views, beneath towering mountains, and through vibrant marshlands and lush cultural landscapes. One highlight of the trip is the historic fishing village of Nyksund. Once a desolate ghost town by the open sea, Nyksund has been revitalized and now attracts visitors with its unique charm. As you continue, you can opt for a scenic boat ride among the islets south of Nyksund before heading to Bø in Vesterålen, a destination often described as the jewel of the region due to its remarkable natural beauty and variety.

This itinerary includes a couple of extra days to let you explore additional routes or enjoy a hike in the magnificent surroundings. While in Nyksund, don’t miss the chance to hike the famous Dronningruta (Queen's Route). Named after Queen Sonja of Norway, who fell in love with the trail during her 1994 visit, this route was voted Norway's most stunning hike in 2012.
