Cycling Holidays

Cycle touring in Scandinavia 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. Coupled with long hours of daylight, abundant wildlife and quiet roads, 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 Scandinavia up close. Summer is the best time to cycle in the Nordic countries. Temperatures range between 12-20 degrees Centigrade and bikers who carefully layer their clothes will make the most of their experience.

What to expect from a cycling holiday

A note on the weather:

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

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

Temperatures on the Faroe Islands vary between 10-15 degrees and sometimes peak at 21 degrees between June and August. The best time for Faroese cycling adventures is June or July.
