Arctic Circle to North Cape Nordkapp  - in 5 days

In summer at the Arctic Circle the sun does not sink below the horizon, this phenomenon is known as the midnight sun. Take advantage of it and experience the unspoiled nature at night. Imagine, motorcycling around the clock, a true paradise for motorcyclists. Far from annoying traffic jams, here you can experience the fun of riding a motorcycle - just you, a motorcycle and the amazingly pure Lappish nature around you. The ”everymansright” in Finland relates also to foreign guests and allows you to freely camp in Lapland's wilderness.

The Nordic countries are one of the quietest, safest and most peaceful corners of the world. This has now been confirmed by the Global Peace Index. For this reason, you can enjoy your holiday for what it should be - relaxing and recharging ones batteries. Visit the northernmost point of mainland, drive trough the secret old post road of Alta.
