Self-guided bike tours – Lapland/Helgeland


Below are examples of routes for bike tours in Lapland and Helgeland with start and end in Kittelfjäll. This region is sparsely populated so the opportunities to refill supplies along the routes are limited. Due to the high level of self-sufficiency, these routes are mainly recommended for experienced cyclists. The length of the suggested tours vary between 2 and 14 days and 290 and 1650 km.

So as to provide a measure for planning the length of daily stages, here is a general guideline based on rider fitness and terrain: Tourist (80-120 km/day), Randonneur (100-160 km/day), Randonneur Pro (120-200 km/day). Concerning luggage on the bike, in these calculations riders are assumed to be carrying a randonneurs saddle bag, not fully loaded pannier bags.
