Overview

About this collection

The North Cap Tour - has been a fantastic experience. Throughout the three weeks we have seen a lot of the “higher north”, enjoyed marvellous nature and interesting sightseeing places. Planning a cycling tour up to North Cap has some difficulties. North of the Arctic Circle there is just a limited number of streets. You would expect that in this remote areas might be less traffic, but that is not always so. To avoid the most annoying traffic you should not use “E” roads, sadly this is not possible on few occasions.

Kalix - Ylitornio

Cycling route in Rolfs, Norrbotten County, Sweden

The second day brought us good weather. The aim of the day was to cross the Swedish border and reach Ylitornio in Finland. Definitely one of the best cycling days of the tour. We cycled on roads with less traffic in marvelous nature. Crossing the border to Finland, we have been attacked by mosquito…

Rovaniemi - Raudanjoki

Cycling route in Rovaniemi, Lapland Region, Finland

The day of rest in Rovaniemi was earmarked for visiting the Santa Claus Village and the Arctic Museum. Passing Santa Claus Village once more on day five we had to drive for a few km on the E75. Soon we used the quiet roads -to and along- the lake Perunkajarvi. After hours of good cycling we got b…

Kittila - Enontekio

Cycling route in Kittilä, Lapland Region, Finland

The environment is changing it starts to get hilly. Now the possibilities to chose alternative lanes and avoid main roads are very limited and later there is no choice at all. Touring from Kittila to Enontekio was all right and easy to navigate. Levi seems to be a passable ski area, however durin…

Enontekio - Kautokeino

Cycling route in Enontekiö, Lapland Region, Finland

A short tour, about 85 km, brought us from Finland to Norway. Again the environment is changing and several mountain ranges can be seen in the distance. Vegetation is getting smaller. From the point of orientation there is nothing to do, just follow road 93. From Enontekio to Kautokeino we still …

Kautokeion - Karasjok

Cycling route in Kautokeino, Finnmark, Norway

Along the road 93 and 92 to Karasjok we met the first cyclist who were coming back from North Cap complaining about headwind. Since a few days we were very lucky with the wind, most of the time we have had moderate tailwind. The environment is beautiful and basically it is nice to cycle. But you …

Karasjok - Olderfjord

Cycling route in Karasjok, Finnmark, Norway

Just two daily trips away from Honningsvag, last Village before North Cap, the goal for today is Olderfjord. We left the mountainous region and were cycling along beautiful nature up the coast of Tanjafjorden of the Barent Sea. Just sad, the traffic situation is going worse. Especially on the E6 co…

Olderfjord - Honnigvag

The Trip to Honnigsvag started with the heavy wind but clear sky. Within the day the condition got worse and we have had to deal with tailwind and crosswind with peaks up to 15 m/sec. In some exposed fjords we were forced to push the cycle for certain distances. The three tunnels up to Honnigsvag s…

Harstad - Riksgränsen

Cycling route in Harstad, Troms, Norway

From Harstad to Tjeldsundbrua along road 83 was a bit annoying, lot of traffic and no alternative. The next part was excellent cycling along the Norway fjords. The terrain from reaching E6 and later following E10 to Riksgransen is seen by me with mixed feelings, on the one hand there is marvellou…

Riksgränsen - Kiruna

This part was a bit annoying, a lot of traffic and no alternative. The original idea was to go through Kebenekaise Nationalpark, however, this is not possible, not even for Mountain bikes. So we went along the E 10.
