Day 1 - Friday: Individual Arrival in Tromsø
Accommodation in Tromsø.
Day 2 - Saturday: Tromsø - Sommarøy - 56 km
Picking up rental bikes at Tromsø Outdoor.
We recommend a bike ride in Tromsø, before heading towards Sommarøy. You ride over to Kvaløya and along Kvaløysletta. It is flat and nice to cycle here, but a somewhat steep ascent to Kattfjord, approx. 200 meters above sea level. From here it is easy and nice cycling before "rolling down" to Kattfjord, which is surrounded by Majestic Mountain peaks over 1,000 meters above sea level. If the weather is fine, we recommend a stop for a swim at a beautiful sandy beach. Sommarøy is a thriving coastal community, living of fishing and tourism.
Dinner and accommodation at Sommarøy (Sommarøy means Summer Island).
We recommend an evening stroll on Hillesøytoppen, with magnificent views of the ocean and down the island of Senja.
Day 3 - Sunday: Sommarøy - Brensholmen - Mefjordvær - 45 km
From Sommarøy there are some climbs, but also lots of nice downhills. Bike to Brensholmen, there is a ferry to Botnhamn on Senja. From Botnhamn you bike to Senjahopen, which is Senjas largest and most important fishing village. From here you continue out the fjord towards the ocean and Mefjordvær.
Dinner and accommodation in Mefjord.
Day 4 - Monday: Mefjordvær - Ersfjorden - Steinsfjorden - Straumbotn - Hamn - 46 km
Bike back to Senjahopen, then continue up to, and through the Geitskards-tunnel. From here you go down to Ersjordsstranda and further along the Ersfjorden and Steinsfjord.
By Tungeneset you can enjoy the stunning view north, towards the famous mountain peaks "Okshornan".
