Cycling Holidays

Cycle touring in Scandinavia, the Baltic Countries and the Faroe Islands is one of the best ways to experience the region. At the end of days spent in the saddle, retracing your journey brings a sense of satisfaction as you replay the hills conquered, the landscapes you’ve passed and the empty roads ahead to be tackled. Coupled with long hours of daylight in the summer months, abundant wildlife and breathtaking scenery, the bike certainly beckons. So whether you’re navigating picturesque coastal towns around Stockholm, dramatic fjord landscapes in the Lofoten Islands or the dreamy, wind-swept Faroe Islands, you’ll be sure to experience each destination up close. Summer is the best time to cycle in these areas, with temperatures ranging between 12-20 degrees Centigrade and bikers who carefully layer their clothes accordingly will make the most of their cycling experience.

What to expect from a cycling holiday

A note on the weather:

The mild summers in the Nordics, Baltics and Canada are ideal for active outdoor adventures. There is plenty of daylight too, which allows you to travel at your own pace during self-guided tours. To make the most of your cycling experience, preparation is key. Multiple layers including a waterproof jacket and a hat to fit under the helmet are essential travel companions even during the summer months. 

Temperatures in the northern regions of Scandinavia can range between 12-20 degrees during the months of June to August. Though dry conditions can never be guaranteed, the months of May and June tend to see the least rainfall. Bikers who would also like to see the midnight sun should travel in June and July.

Temperatures on the Faroe Islands can vary between 10-15 degrees and sometimes peak at 20 degrees between June and August. The best time for cycling here is June and July.
