Bodø – Lofoten – Tromsø
Bodø – Tromsø: Sometimes places don’t live up to their reputation or are overhyped. That is certainly not the case here. The first time you visit this area you may be overwhelmed by what you see. It’s a fairytale world where anything seems possible. No matter how many fancy high-resolution photos you take they won’t compare to what you actually experience. This is a truly unique area of the world and to ride a bike here is a privilege so few get to experience.

Keep in mind
All cycling routes published on CYCLENORWAY.com are intended as planning resources and sources of inspiration to be used alongside your own research and judgement. Routes are created using careful research, but every cyclist has different abilities, expectations, and risk tolerance. Some routes may include hike-a-bike sections, muddy or wet hiking paths, technical terrain, steep climbs, descents, or remote areas that may not be suitable for everyone. Route data, mapping software, and conditions can also change or contain inaccuracies. Cycling in Norway is generally very safe. Nevertheless, if you choose to ride these routes, you do so at your own risk.
