The Slow Cyclist, renowned for offering small group e-cycling and walking holidays, has revealed an exciting six-night cycling tour across Norway’s Vesteralen islands, set to begin in summer 2026.

This marks their inaugural venture into Scandinavia, providing a unique chance to discover the breathtaking landscapes and rich cultural heritage of the area.

Founder Oli Broom expressed enthusiasm for this new route, saying, “This is our first journey to Scandinavia and it’s a special one in Norway, one of the most beautiful countries on earth.”

A Friluftsliv-centric Adventure

The journey encourages participants to embrace the Norwegian philosophy of friluftsliv, which emphasizes enjoying the great outdoors, no matter the weather.

Travelers will stay in charming accommodations ranging from renovated timber fishing warehouses to quaint guest houses. The itinerary includes cycling along scenic routes on Andøya, visiting a Sami culture and reindeer center, and exploring the stunning fjords of Langøya.

Participants will also have opportunities to observe Arctic wildlife such as whales and puffins and experience the phenomenon of the midnight sun during summer.

The cost for this tour is set at $5,600 (£4,595) per person for a group of twelve, which covers accommodations, meals, activities, and e-bicycle rentals. Additionally, a 1% contribution will be donated to local causes, with The Slow Cyclist committed to ensuring that the benefits of tourism enhance the communities and businesses they engage with along the journey.
