Day 1 - Friday: Individual Arrival in Tromsø
Accommodation in Tromsø.
Day 2 - Saturday: Tromsø - Sommarøy - 62 km
Pick 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 mean Summer Island).
We recommend an evening stroll on Hillesøytoppen, with magnificent views of the ocean and the island of Senja.
Day 3 - Sunday: Sommarøy - Brensholmen - Mefjordvær - 41 km
There are some climbs today, but also lots of nice downhills. Bike to Brensholmen approx 8,5 km. From there you go by 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 Mefjordvær.
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 fjord.
