The Arctic CIrcle Ultimate Motorcycle Itinerary
Chasing the Arctic sun, one epic mile at a time — your ultimate northern adventure starts here.
Riding into the Arctic Circle is one of those trips that lingers with you long after the tyres cool. From endless roads winding through Norway’s raw, dramatic landscapes to quiet fishing villages and remote mountain passes, this route is about so much more than just reaching the top—it's about everything in between.
This ultimate Arctic Circle itinerary is designed to take around 28 days, but it’s totally flexible depending on your timeframe. Whether you’ve got two weeks or two months, you can adapt it to suit your ride style. Want to keep it smooth and fast? Stick to tarmac and carve your way up the coast on some of Europe’s most scenic highways. Craving something wilder? Include stretches of the Trans Euro Trail for a proper backcountry experience with gravel, solitude, and stories you’ll be telling for years.
The best time to go? August to September. By then, the peak tourist traffic has faded, but you’ll still catch the midnight sun hovering on the horizon, especially the further north you go. The weather is relatively stable, the campsites are quieter, and the roads are yours for the taking.
This is your invitation to ride past the Arctic Circle sign and keep going—into fjords, over glaciers, through valleys, and across landscapes where the light never seems to end. This guide will take you through everything you shouldn’t miss, from iconic roads and wild camping spots to the little fishing villages that make you want to stay forever.

Getting Started: Ride, Ship, or Rent

The Route
Day 1 -10: Trans European Trail
Officially starting my journey from Copenhagen, I crossed the Oresundsbron Bridge into Sweden joining the Sweden Trans European Trail (TET). I took the TET in Sweden to the Norwegian border just north of Oslo at which point I hopped onto the Norwegian TET for an almost circular route before heading back into Sweden. I continued on the Sweden TET with a couple diversions specifically for Flatruet. The highest road in Sweden. The route options for the Sweden TET have grown considerably since I travelled there so there are many routes to try for your own adventure. I will say that the Sweden TET does very much become very same-same landscape wise to the point where I ended up pushing through and hitting the tarmac to join back onto the last bit of the Norway TET in the arctic circle. I find that in comparison the Norwegian TET landscape changes very dramatically very quickly so once having a small taste you want to go back. To download the TET routes check out their website. It’s every growing and constantly being updated.

Must Not Miss
Jotunheimen National Park
What: A beautiful scenic road glides through this National Park that easily adds onto the Norwegian TET
Where: Fv51, 2953 Beitostølen, Norway (61.9204, 9.3385)
Notes: The weather is very temperamental. Even in the middle of summer so be prepared. Make sure you save sometime to just enjoy the area. I felt like I rode through to quickly and I need to return.
Blåhø Mountain
What: A mountain located enroute of the Norway TET. The road up is beautiful scenery. Don’t miss it!
Where: Unnamed Road, 2663, Vågå kommune, Norway
Notes: This route is amazing. The scenery changes drastically very quickly as you ascend the mountain. Unfortunately I arrived in Norway just after a storm so due to roads being washed out I had to take multiple detours instead of following the trail directly. Fortunately in Norway it’s very easy to find some dirt tracks to keep you entertained.
Rondane National Park
What: Is the oldest national park in Norway located in the Innlandet county. It contains ten peaks over 2,000 metres and is an important habitat for herds of wild reindeer.
Where: Innlandet County, Norway
Notes: Wonderful area to wild camp, hike and ride around.
Grimsdalen Valley
What: What locals consider to be the most beautiful vallei’s in Norway. Truly, the views are spectacular!
Where: Hedmark County, Norway
Notes: Beautiful spot to wild camp.
Flatruet
What: Considered to be the higheset public road in Sweden. Ascending to a mountain plateau at an elevation of 964m.
Where: Jamtland County, Sweden
Notes: A gravel track road that could easily be done on a road bike. Be wary of reindeer, this seems to be a hotspot for them as they are constantly darting across the road. This landscape was very different compared to the rest of my tour but worth a small detour off the TET if you have the time.
Nordkapp 71º 10' 21" -
What: Northern most point in Europe that can be accessed by car.
Where: Northern Coast of the island of Magerøya , 71°10′21″N 25°47′04″E
Notes: A visit to Nordkapp comes with an entrance fee to access the visitor centre and monument, which has extended hours during certain seasons to let tourists catch the midnight sun. On some nights, it stays open as late as midnight.
If you're riding a motorcycle, the best time to visit might actually be after hours. I set up camp near the start of the Knivskjellodden Trail, just 5.5 km down the road, then rode up to the globe at 3 AM skirting around the barriers. No crowds, no queues—just me, the open sky, and sweeping views at the top of Europe. All night long, you could hear the distant hum of other bikes echoing along the cliffs as riders did the same.
Nordkapp Pitch Spot: Knivskjelodden Trail parking, Knivskjelodden Trail, 9764 Nordkapp, Norway
Day 11 - 18: Lofoten Islands
Leaving Nordkapp, you can meander your way down the west coast of Norway. The roads are perfect passing through mountains passes and along fjords. Once you arrive in the Lofoten’s you can take your time to explore the islands. There are tons of coastal roads to ride and just relax and enjoy the views. If you want to stretch your legs there are plentiful of hikes to explore. Grab a kayak and explore the waters or just enjoy the many beaches. Be sure to try the traditional snack of tørrfisk, dried fish from the Lofoten which is wild caught skrei (cod) from the sea or enjoy a kanelboller (cinnamon bun) at one of the many cafe’s in town. They use the same process of long natural drying and maturation as the Vikings did 1000 years ago and can be found in any shop. Don’t forget to stop by in the famous towns Reine and Å , to see the famous traditional rorbuer settled over the water set against the mountains and sea. I used my time here to reset, breathe and have a bit of down time. Taking in the beauty and meandering around, and enjoying the bridges that connect this scatter of islands together.

Leaving the Lofoten Islands and taking the ferry to Bodo. You start heading south. Leaving the Arctic Circle and seeking more incredible fjords and mountains. Weaving your way through an endless amount of national parks while hugging the western coastline. Taking ferry after ferry, which seems to be a normal way to meander your way through this part of Norway and crossing some spectacular bridges including the ever famous Atlantic Road. Eventually you start heading further inland as you can’t miss the famous Trolldestien Pass filled with terrifying switch backs and finishing with one of the most amazing viewpoints. Followed by the Gamle Strynefjellsvegen, otherwise known as the wilderness road. Though the one thing you’ll miss is the quiet of the arctic circle as you quickly start entering one of the tourist hotspots. Roads are a bit busier and a few of the stops are worth visiting first thing in the morning and last thing in the evening to avoid the crowds.
