Bike Course
Boreal forest roads through Norrland
The bike course winds through the boreal forests and rolling terrain of Norrland. The roads pass through some of Sweden's most unspoiled landscapes — forests, lakes, and mountain views. The terrain is rolling with moderate climbing, and the remoteness of the setting means long stretches of quiet, beautiful riding.
