National cycle route nr 1

Bicycling is an excellent means of transport, even on vacation!

Between Vesterålen and Varanger, the Arctic Ocean, Pomor coast, is Norway's largest islands pearls a string: Hinnøya, Andøya, Senja, Kvaløya, Ringvassøya and the South Island. Hinnøya - a special little continent. Senja - the sundskårne island, known for poems and notes from the cultural reconstruction. Kvaløya - Tromsø town's natural paradise, wrapped in descriptions and blogs. The outer side with deep fjords and rugged mountains, archipelagos and traditional fishing grounds. Coastal Leia follow healthy landscapes in the inner side. Long fjords cut between the peninsulas and snowcapped mountain ranges.

With ferries and fast can you ride from island to island. You set the pace and stop whenever you want. Enjoy - smell, listen and see! Photo Designs in line. Fishing villages and boats. Mountains and rocks, trails and cairns. Dazzling white beaches and clear sea. Birdlife and fishing knots. Bright Nights, open horizons and brilliant scenery. A little off the beaten track, small paradise and golden moments - waiting for you.

Freedom is to ride ...

Norway has many well-planned sign-posted routes. A special cyclist’s map, route description and other relevant information is available. They vary in length, scenery and attractions, but they are all spectacular! You can cycle through forests or valleys, along fjords or up in the mountains and visit some of the several small towns of Norway. You can either hire a cycle or bring your own. You can plan your own trip, or to be at the safe side, order an organised package.
