A gentle paced cycling holiday through the Lofoten Islands of Norway. The endless days and magical light around the time of the Midnight Sun provide the setting for this gentle paced road tour exploring Norway’s beautiful Lofoten Islands.

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 breathtaking views amid charming fishing villages simply perfect for cycling. With daytime melding into night time, there are also lots of opportunities for ‘midnight’ walks for those with the energy.

For accommodation in the Lofotens we use the 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.

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 are picnic style, packed with Norwegian delicacies.
