Tromsø – Nordkapp
Tromsø – Nordkapp: The Far North is not for everyone. Both beauty and the beast await on a journey intrepid cyclists have been undertaking for decades. Whether you start or end at Nordkapp this section will challenge and delight, reward and punish, and tire and invigorate. Reindeer herds may randomly decide to run across your path testing your braking power. The long tunnels you approach may send shivers down your spine. On returning to the light the galvanizing sight of a large sea eagle may send shivers back up your spine. The journey through the far north is like no other.

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.
