After arriving in Finnsnes, we will be transported to Torsken in Senja, where we start with a three-course dinner based on local ingredients. After the meal and presentations, our knowledgeable guide will go through the programme for the whole trip.
The focus of this trip is on e-biking, but we will arrange optional hikes during the daytime in easy yet incredible terrain.
All the cycling take places in the evening so we can experience the magical light and see the Midnight Sun while we are riding. We will be based in Torsken and driven to or from the various locations. We will make stops during each cycling stage to visit famous sights and hidden gems.
The accommodation are in double rooms at Torsken Brygge, and all meals are included. We will serve good food between activities, as well as a delicious three-course dinner each evening based on wonderful, local ingredients.
Transport from/to Finnsnes is included (but not the trip to and from Finnsnes before and after the tour)
Level: moderate
Day 1 : Arrival in Finnsnes and transport to Senja by Heart in Torsken
We meet up in Finnsnes by 17:45 and then set off on a scenic drive to Torsken and Torsken Brygge. After checking in, dinner will be served before everyone presents themselves and the guide goes through the programme for the whole trip.
Day 1 : Torsken – Ballesvikskaret return (24 km)
After a sumptuous dinner based on local ingredients, we prepare for today’s cycling stage. We bike from Torsken via the old road up to the Ballesvikskaret pass (12 km). We enjoy the view and the Midnight Sun before returning to Torsken and Torsken Brygge for a midnight snack and to stay overnight.
Day 2 : Torsken – Tungenes (46.2 km, tunnels)
After breakfast, we do the guided tour of the Wilsgård Salmon Processing plant. This evening’s cycling stage will take us through some of the rawest and wildest nature the outer coast of Senja has to offer. We will ride along the National Scenic Route and pass several iconic viewpoints. This is a relatively hilly stage, but completely manageable with the help of e-bikes. Make sure your camera batteries are fully charged!
Day 3 : Torsken – Grunnfarnes (33.4 km, tunnels)
Today’s hike is a little over moderately demanding, up to Midtertinden with a fantastic view of the outer sea. The evening’s bike starts with us being transported to the start of Kaperdalen, and from here we cycle up Kaperdalen, down Sifjordura and on to Grunnfarnes where we are transported by boat back to Torsken. This will be a fantastic ending!
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!
Level
Although we will ride e-bikes, participants should be relatively fit and used to physical exercise. The hikes are optional so, if you feel a hike and bike ride on the same day will be too much, you have the option of enjoying a restful day in the village before the evening’s cycling stage. Please note that we will spend several hours biking each day. This trip is moderately demanding.
Bikes & equipment
We provide Fokus Aventura e-bikes, which are versatile and powerful. They offer good comfort and are well suited for the terrain we will ride in. If you wish to use your own e-bike, you must be sure the battery capacity will last on the longest stages or bring an extra battery. Unfortunately, we don’t offer a discount if you choose to use your own bike. A bike bag is also included for those who want one. You can either bring your own helmet or use one of ours). Everyone must bring their own clothes and other gear.
Accommodation & meals
All accommodation and meals are included in the tour price. You prepare your own packed lunch during the buffet breakfast each day. A three-course dinner is served in the late afternoon each day and a midnight snack will be available on arrival each night. Any drinks in addition to those served during the meals will be at your own expense.
