Day 1: Cycle Tromsø - Sommarøy (56 km). We recommend biking in Tromsø, before heading towards Sommarøy. You will bike to Kvaløya and along Kvaløysletta nice, flat terrain, with a steep ascent to Kattfjord, ca. 200m above sea level. From here it is nice and easy cycling before ‘rolling down’ to Kattfjord (surrounded by majestic mountain peaks, topping 1,000m). Weather-permitting, you may stop for a swim at the sandy beach. Sommarøy is a thriving coastal community for fishing and tourism. Dinner and accomodation at Sommarøy - (Sommarøy means ‘Summer Island’).
