Day to day itinerary
Every Monday to Saturday between June and August .
Dag 1. Monday (28 km) Brønnøysund
You will be handed your bike outside Thon Brønnøysund Hotel, where you will spend the night until Tuesday.
On Monday you cycle out to the mountain Torghatten (28 km roundtrip ). Nice and easy bike ride. The walk up to Torghatten is a memorable experience. The trip is best if you continue through the hole and around the mountain.
In the evening you have dinner anywhere in Brønnøysund.
We will have a information meeting at Thon Hotel Brønnøysund at 21.00hrs.
Day 2. Tuesday (27 km)
You will bring your luggage to the car at 09.30 and then have breakfast at the hotel. Then you will take a boat to Vega at 10.15. We arrive at Rørøy at Vega and cycle to the Vega World Heritage Center and on to the Vega stairs.
In the evening we enjoy a 5-course dinner (included in the package) at Vega Havhotell, where we also spend the night.
The island Vega is well suited for a longer cycle ride if you would like that.
Day 3. Wednesday (30-40 km)
After breakfast you cycle to Gardsøy, where a boat takes you to the island of Herøy. This is a beautiful boat trip, giving you an impression of the vast archipelago.
You come ashore at Flostad on Herøy. Herøy is a paradise for cyclists with its flat landscape and numerous bridges connecting the many islands. Surrounding mountains tower on the horizon. We suggest that you cycle to Seloy for pizza at Skola and visit the popular flower shop Etcetera
We will continue on to Brasøy, where we will spend the evening and night at Havkanten Guesthouse. Here, most rooms do not have their own bathroom, but share common bathrooms in the hallway. Four rooms have a private bathroom, and these can be booked for an additional charge.
After we check in, and before dinner, you can go for a swim in the ocean or enjoy the hot bath tub on the dock.
Day 4. Thursday (40 km)
After breakfast we will go on a two hours boat trip to visit the surrounding islands.
After the boat trip we will cycle 5 km and then take the ferry back to Flostad. From there we will head towards Donna. We will make a short detour to Seløy and visit Augustbryggo (local fish restaurant) for a delicious fish soup.
Check in at hotel Scandic Syv Søstre, which is located right in the center of Sandnessjøen.
Day 5. Friday (39 km)
This day you cycle along the mountain range De Syv Søstre towards Tjøtta. We like to make a stop at the Petter Dass museum, which we pass halfway through the trip. The International War Cemetery at Tjøtta is also worth a visit.
We take the ferry from Tjøtta to Forvik, where we visit the coffee distillery at the old trading post Handelsstedet Forvik.
Half of the group spend the night here, while the restwill stay at Vevelstad Gjestegård, which is nearby.
Please note that most rooms do not have their own bathroom, but share common bathrooms in the hallway. At Vevelstad Gjestegård, two rooms have a private bathroom, and these can be booked for an additional charge.
In the evening we have a joint dinner at Handelsstedet Forvik. Here we get to taste the northern Norwegian specialty Boknafisk.
Day 6. Saturday (33 km)
On the last day of the trip, we cycle along Kystriksveien Fv17 from Forvik to Brønnøysund. Along the way there is a ferry from Anddalsvåg to Horn.
We stop at Hildur's Urterarium, where there are opportunities to buy lunch and a visit to the herb garden.
It is possible to extend the stay by one night. You can then either spend the night at Hildur's Urterarium in beautiful rooms (without private bathroom/wc) and with a 5-course dinner in the evening. Or you can spend the night at Thon Brønnøysund Hotell. Please note that this offer is not available for the trip starting on July 14th. Due to the Roots Festival in Brønnøysund from July 16th to 19th, we are unable to reserve rooms that weekend.
