Tromso bike tours

Tromsø - the ‘Paris of the North’, 350km north of the Arctic Circle. Here, you’ll find the highest concentration of wooden houses in Northern Norway, with the oldest dating back to 1789. Named after the island of Tromsøya, on which Tromsø stands, the city is the cultural hub of the region, rich in Norse and Sámi heritage.


Having been inhabited since the end of the Ice Age, Tromsø is a city of incredible history, earning its nickname ‘Paris of the North’ as visitors during the 19th Century were surprised at how sophisticated the inhabitants of Tromsø were when compared to their southern countrymen! By the end of the 19th Century, Tromsø enjoyed a reputation as a major Arctic trading center, and was the starting point for many famous Arctic expeditions, explorers such as Roald Amundsen, Umberto Nobile, and Fridtjof Nansen drawing on the expertise of Tromsø’s inhabitants, many of whom were recruited to the expeditions. In 1927, the Northern Lights Observatory was founded in the city.

Get your fill of the ‘Gateway to the Arctic Ocean’ on an exhilarating e-bike tour of Tromsø and its surrounding areas. A guided day tour is the best way to experience the spirit of the Arctic and take in the very best of Tromsø’s sightseeing spots, including the harbor, Skansen, Vervet, The Arctic University of Tromsø, Prestvannet, and Telegrafbukta. Take an e-bike tour a little further out and explore Ersfjordbotn and Lofoten, both noteworthy examples of Norway’s awe-inspiring islands and fjords.
