Meeting at Finnsnes, you can come via Tromsø or Bardufoss if you fly. We coordinate arrival from both locations. Then we are transported to Torsken, after check-in, a three-course dinner made with local ingredients is served. The guide goes through the program after a round of presentations by all participants.
Cycling is the main activity, but there are also opportunities for other experiences along the way. We are based in Torsken but will cycle different stages each day and will be transported to or from depending on which stages are on the program.
Accommodation in a double room in Torsken Brygge and all meals included. There will be an option for a sauna and jacuzzi outside of the cycling program. Dinners are served in our well-reputable restaurant.
Transport from/to Finnsnes is included (but not the trip to and from Finnsnes before and after the tour)
Day 1 – Meeting at Finnsnes and transport to Senja by Heart in
Torsken
Attendance at Finnsnes by 17:45. Transport to Torsken and Torsken
Brygge where we check in, before dinner is served and we carry out a
presentation round and the guide presents the program.
Day 1 – Torsken – Ballesvikskardet t/rt (26 km, tunnel)
After a tasty dinner made from local ingredients, we get ready for an
evening trip to chase for the Northern Lights. We cycle from Torsken via
the old road into Gryllefjordbotn and up to Ballesvikskardet. Here we enjoy
the view and hopefully the Northern Lights before returning to Torsken for
the night.
Day 2 – Torsken – Tungenes (46.2 km, tunnels)
After breakfast there is a tour of Wilsgård Salmon Processing plant. Today,
the trip goes through some of the rawest nature that the outer skirts of
Senja has to offer. We follow the Norwegian Scenic Route and pass several
iconic viewpoints. It will be a relatively hilly stage, but completely
manageable with the help of the e-bikes. Don’t forget to charge your
camera! After dinner there will be an opportunity to relax in the sauna and
jacuzzi, perhaps the Northern Lights will dance in the sky for us…
Day 3 – Torsken – Grunnfarnes (33.4 km, tunnels)
Today’s cycling stage starts with transport to the beginning of Kaperdalen
valley. We cycle up Kaperdalen, down Sifjordura (Senja’s answer to
Trollstigen) and on to Grunnfarnes, where we will be transported by boat
back to Torsken. This will be a fantastic end to the trip! Farewell party at
Torsken Brygge Pub.
Day 4 – Time to say goodbye and head home
After enjoying breakfast together and summing up the trip, you will be
driven back to Finnsnes. It’s then time to say goodbye and travel home or
to your next destination! Thank you for joining us!
We reserve the right to make changes to the program subject to the
weather and other unforeseen events.
