Duration:     9 Days/8 Nights 
Meeting:       NORWAY - Evenes/Narvik Airport
Price:           3100 EUR - All Meals and Accommodation Included

We will stay mostly in a typical Norwegian Fisherman's cabin called Rorbuer. Those are romantic red traditional cabins just above the ocean. Newly rebuilt and equipped luxury and cosy style some even with private sauna. It is usually a two-bedroom cabin with a kitchen, living room bathroom and balcony or terrace above the crystal clear water. *We will stay in a double or twin rooms. Each accommodation and location is chosen to satisfy all the needs of comfort and trails in close distance. We are trying to choose trails with no more than an hour and a half of a drive distance from the place of stay at the maximum. The trail selection depends on the weather conditions and mood of the group. The usual driving time from the accommodation to the trails is about 20 min. There will be a drive from the Narvik area to the heart of Lofoten. The drive will be by the scenic route approximately 4 hours, depending on how many photo stops we will take.

We will taste the local fresh products and enjoy great seafood, fish as well as traditional lamb or reindeer and delicious vegetables and berries which Norway is famous for. Breakfasts depend on the place of accommodation. Usually consist of a variety of local products like cheese, meat, eggs, fish, yoghurt, fruits and veggie. Lunch depends on the day plan. Sometimes we are riding the bigger line and you will have prepared lunch with you typically as a sandwich, nuts and high energy food. Sometimes our biking is split into noon sessions at one bike sector and afternoon sessions at another trail location. In this case, we will visit some of the local restaurants and try the local culinary. For the dinners, we will enjoy and relax in local restaurants and try the best what Norwegian cuisine is about.

*Please let us know any food allergies or preferences

Day 1 - Arrival, pick up at the Evenes/Narvik Airport. We will pick you up. The best time to arrive is around the afternoon, then we drive straight to the heart of Lofoten!

​

Day 2 - Our first day is an excellent mountain bike trail on a mountain plateau with beautiful views of the surrounding fjords and the spectacular nature of Vestvågøya. This is a fast and flowy MTB trail with a fun and technical section. This trail is a must for any mountain biker. After a delicious lunch in a restaurant, we will drive to another bike location to continue riding.

​

Day 3 - Today we will fully enjoy Lofotens nature during the whole day of mountain biking. Riding fast rocky trails and technical sections is today's bread. Bread and ham is also today's lunch at the peak but the cosy restaurant with local products is our dinner plan.

​

Day 4 - We are already acclimatized and not getting too dizzy from the beauty of the surrounding nature, so it's time for a full day of mountain bike adventure. We climb on a peak above beautiful beaches. The descent line will be fast, technical on rocks and wooden bridges and paths. Well deserved dinner in a great restaurant with local food and home-baked cakes and deserts as a reward!

Day 5 - On this day, we will climb on top of the mountain 700 meters above the ocean. The line has a very dynamic character and it smoothly changes from technical steep, rocky sections into the fast trail with little drops and jumps. Nice diner at the evening.

Day 6 - We will move to the Lofotens Capital Svolvær. After many days of mountain biking, our bodies need to relax to prevent injuries. It is a great opportunity to explore the Lofoten islands and see them from a different perspective. This day is mostly about visiting local galleries, museums, coffee or going for a boat trip and enjoying the private sauna. The day off will be non-guided.

Day 7 - You all are well-rested full of energy and eager to challenge yourself. We will climb and descend on a technical demanding trail. It is a perfect rock slab summit surrounded by fjords and islands. Today will really put to test your mountain bike skills, but do not worry! After all, we have done together you are ready! And we will not let you down... After this MTB drill, we move to the Narvik area.

Day 8 - Now when you know how the local rock slab tastes you will want more! And that's why we are in Narvik... Probably the biggest rock slab in Europe. This is the mountain biker's paradise! Thousands of square meters of smooth granite rock shaped into bowls, wallrides, jumps, hits and other features shaped by mother nature for billions of years. Our steps and pedals let us to this moment and to this place. All of the Lofoten Viking history and our biking story become one at this billion-year-old bike park. There can not be a better finish of our mountain bike adventure than this!

Day 9 - With all your newly gain experiences and skills it's time to go home. Do not be sad. All you have done and seen here above the Arctic Circle where the sun never sets will shine in your heart forever... Time to drive you to the airport
