The Slow Cyclist, known for its small group e-cycling and walking holidays, has unveiled a new six-night cycling journey across Norway’s Vesteralen islands in the Arctic Circle, set to launch in summer 2026.<\/p>\n
This marks the company’s first venture into Scandinavia, offering a unique opportunity to explore the region’s stunning landscapes and rich cultural heritage.<\/p>\n
Founder Oli Broom expressed excitement about the new route, stating, “This is our first journey to Scandinavia and it\u2019s a special one in Norway, one of the most beautiful countries on earth.”<\/p>\n
A friluftsliv-centric adventure<\/p>\n
The journey invites participants to embrace the Norwegian philosophy of friluftsliv, which encourages enjoying the outdoors regardless of weather conditions.<\/p>\n
Travellers will stay in charming accommodations, ranging from converted timber fishing warehouses to rural guest houses. The itinerary includes cycling along And\u00f8ya’s scenic roads, visiting a Sami culture and reindeer centre, and exploring the dramatic fjords of Lang\u00f8ya.<\/p>\n
Participants will also have the chance to witness Arctic wildlife, including whales and puffins, and experience the midnight sun in summer.<\/p>\n
The tour is priced at $5,600 (\u00a34,595) per person for a group of 12, covering accommodation, meals, activities, and e-bicycle hire.<\/p>\n
A 1% donation to local causes is included, as The Slow Cyclist aims to support local communities, ensuring tourism investment benefits the families and businesses encountered along the way.
