To The End of The World

The Far North isn’t for everyone. It’s wild, remote, and unforgiving, a landscape most people will never cycle through or even see. But if you want something truly different and far from the ordinary, this is the ride. When the weather turns bad, shelter is minimal, and you need to be mentally ready to take on the Arctic tundra. Up here, the battle is won in the mind.

The roads are quiet, and wild camping is possible almost anywhere, though you should take care not to disturb fragile wildlife habitats. The 160 km Varanger National Tourist Route offers small bird-watching shelters that also work well for cyclists. Parts of the route pass through surprisingly rich birch forests; other stretches open into wide, empty terrain where wild reindeer graze. And if luck is on your side, you may even spot an Arctic fox.
