Cycling in beautiful nature

Vesterålen is perfect region for cycling as there are very few hills to climb and only a few steep bridges. Most roads weave their way along the coastline or a fjord, but at the same time there is not a mountain far away.

Andøy Friluftssenter is the perfect place for a memorable cycling holiday, either if you bring with you your own cycle or rent one from us. We are situated on the largest mainland island in Norway, Hinnøya.

Here you have many opportunities. First you can have an enjoyable breakfast before you cycle for example cycle to Risøyhamn on the island of Andøy, it is only 12 km away. Here you will find the gallery of Dick Moonshouwer by the harbour.

At 11.00 the coastal steamer leaves Risøyhamn on it's voyage south towards Sortland. After one and a half hours we reach our destination. If you don`t eat your lunch on board you can do this at numerous small café in Sortland "the blue town by the fjord".

By this time you are probably ready to return to Andøy Friluftssenter which is a 40 kilometer away. There is not so much traffic on the road so you have plenty of time to return for your evening meal.

In the summer it is light all day so you have plenty of light to cycle where ever you want. You can enjoy and see the midnight sun from the end of May till the end of July, before it starts to disappear under the horizon. There are many places you can cycle to and enjoy and there are many brochures that give you more information, distances, photos and ideas.

If you would like a part or all of your holiday to be a little different, why don`t you try it on the seat of a cycle. It will give you a memory for life.
