- Reviews

This unique Bike & Sail adventure combines breathtaking biking routes with the freedom of exploring by sea. Over five days, you’ll ride through valleys, cross dramatic fjords, and pedal along remote island paths—all while living aboard the Norrøna Varg Sail Yacht, your floating basecamp. With seamless transitions between land and sea, this journey takes you to places few have the chance to experience. 

Norrøna Varg S/Y, which in 2026 was recognized as one of TIME's Greatest Places to visit, will serve as your accommodation, restaurant, and means of transportation. Hosting 3 guest cabins with room for 6 guests in total, it offers plenty of comfort for an adventure of this kind. From ensuite bathrooms with shower for each cabin, wood fired sauna and hot tub on deck, to a 3-course Arctic Fusion dinner concept and a lounge area with a fire place and large rooftop window.

No prior sailing experience is needed, as the crew will handle all onboard operations and logistics. However, if you’d like to get involved and lend a hand, they’ll be more than delighted to have your assistance!

Highlights

  • Sail through remote fjords
  • Explore hidden trails and discover untouched landscapes
  • Unique biking (S2 grade on the Single Track Scale)
  • Breath taking mountains and fjord landscapes 

NB! For this trip you need prior trail biking experience.

On our trips, it is important to understand that we often will be traveling far off the beaten track.

It is therefore extremely important that all participants arrive well-prepared and ready to handle unforeseen situations.

Packing Tips 

While Varg offers plenty of comfort for an adventure of this kind, it’s important to remember that at 62 feet, it is still a sailboat with limited space so keep in mind how and what you pack. It's advisable to limit your luggage to one bag for clothes and gear, and one daypack for excursions. We recommend a duffel bag, as this is easier to handle than a rolling suitcase. Your daypack should have enough space for clothing, food and drinks.

Bike is not included, please contact us if you would like to rent a bike. If you bring your own bike, you need a full suspention bike. 

Bed linens and towels will be provided on the boat.
