Trip Information

A gently-paced family cycling tour in Norway, through the majestic Lofoten Islands. The endless days and magical light around the time of the midnight sun provide the setting for this easy-going tour.
 
This narrow chain of islands crams in more mountains per square mile than any other part of Norway. Jagged peaks sweep down to the sea leaving a narrow brim of coastal road with breath-taking views amid charming fishing villages simply perfect for cycling. With daytime melting into night time, there are also lots of opportunities for midnight walks for those with the energy. A great trip for families, and a great destination for amazing vacation snaps and memories!
 
For accommodation in the Lofoten Islands we use small guesthouses or hotels, and lovely quayside rorbus (traditionally-painted, fishermen’s wood cabins perched on stilts). With some providing rowing boats, you may wish to try some fishing, or take a sauna and optional fjord dip for an invigorating experience, Scandinavian style. Or even go kayaking, canoeing or hiking! Lots of options for you and your family to make the most of the area.
 
Evening meals are either taken at the superb local restaurants, renowned for their delicious seafood, or in the rorbus if you prefer to try your hand at cooking. Lunches en route can be taken at small cafes or done picnic style with lots of Norwegian delicacies available at the villages you'll be staying at.
