Project Description

Hunting trails from the sea

Sail & Mountainbiking

The islands and mountains around Tromsø are worlds famous among of track skiers and in the randonee community. These islands are also the perfect starting point during summer and fall when you can explore the tracks on your mountain bike.

One of the key aspects that makes bike and sail so attractive is that the boat makes it possible to reach terrain that would be very difficult to reach by other means. When you’re on a mountain bike, pristine terrain is a huge bonus, but the number one requirement is a good trail. Troms fylke is not exactly crowded with people, so most of the islands are still truly wild, in the sense that you will most likely find one hut and probably some sheep, but will you find a trail?
Norwegians are very fond of walking up and down mountains. They do it regardless of weather, so given the population density, you are much more likely to find a trail here than any other place in the world. But still, on the remote islands, most trails will likely be made by either sheep, reindeer, or simply not exist.
Traveling by boat makes it possible to ride a set of mountains that would be almost impossible to combine if you were to drive a car there. Going places by car in Norway takes forever as you have to drive around both mountains and fjords. There is a reason that most people traveled by boat in the old days. In addition, living on a boat, and sailing the Arctic sea, is a dream in itself. Finally, the trails are out there.

I had a blast during my weekend on the boat. We spent the days climbing and riding, and the evenings eating fantastic food, playing games and listening to our captain’s old stories from the sea. I slept like a baby, rocked to sleep by gentle waves.
