A Challenging Cycling Adventure Through Northern Scandinavia

Cycling Midnight Sun Route

Cycling Midnight Sun Route

Would you like to experience the roads of northern Sweden by bike? The Midnight Sun Route takes you through forests, river valleys, lakes, fjords, and mountains, while also crossing the Arctic Circle. The best time to ride is between late June and August, when you can experience the Midnight Sun and the long, bright summer nights.

This demanding route is designed primarily for experienced cyclists.

Your journey starts and ends in Granö, where accommodation, breakfast, and a delicious concluding dinner at Granö Beckasin are included.

Follow the light northward along the Midnight Sun Route, a cycling journey through the natural beauty of Västerbotten and into Northern Norway. Here, 1,200 kilometers of wild and spectacular landscapes await—but you decide how much of the route you want to ride.

This cycling package provides a comfortable start and finish to your adventure. It includes two hotel nights: one before your cycling journey begins and one after you return. Additional overnight stays along the route are arranged independently, allowing you to tailor the trip to your preferred schedule, pace, and interests.

Prices from: SEK 3,400 per person (2 nights)

A booking is binding once it has been confirmed and you have received a booking number. This may occur verbally, in writing, or via our booking system. When booking, you must provide your name, address, arrival and departure time, and method of payment. Different rules apply to different price categories—see detailed price information.

To book a room at Granö Beckasin, for yourself or another person, you must be at least 18 years old. If you book a room for a minor and do not stay at the property yourself, the minor must present a signed consent form from a legal guardian upon arrival. The consent confirms that the guardian approves the minor’s stay and assumes responsibility for the minor and their actions. The person who made the booking, or alternatively the guardian who also stays at the hotel, is responsible for the minor even if staying in separate rooms.

Arrival and Departure
Your room is available from 15:00 on the day of arrival. On the day of departure, you must vacate the room no later than 11:00. The room is reserved for arrival until 18:00.

Granö Beckasin’s Obligations and Your Requests
If Granö Beckasin cannot provide the room as agreed, the guest is entitled to receive a comparable or better room within Granö Beckasin at no additional cost. If this is not possible, a room of similar standard at another hotel will be provided (the new accommodation does not need to be of the same type, e.g., a treehouse).
Please specify your requests at the time of booking to ensure the hotel can prepare accordingly.

Smoking is strictly prohibited in all rooms. Pets are welcome in cabins and selected Bird’s Nest rooms. A surcharge of SEK 500 applies, and you must notify staff at the time of booking.

Loss of a key must be compensated by the guest. According to law, the hotel may hold luggage as security for a guest’s outstanding payments and, under certain conditions, sell it.
