Mountain Biking
Midnight sun riding
Next to Andørja is the small island of Rolla. Mountain biking on Rolla is raw, natural and distinctly Arctic. The trails wind from the coastline into rugged mountain terrain, combining rough singletrack, rocky sections, grassy mountain paths and old access roads.
The riding is physically demanding and technically varied, with steep climbs, sections where bikes may need to be pushed or carried, and challenging natural descents. Above all, it is the setting that makes Rolla special: dramatic mountains rising directly from the sea, deep fjords and huge views across the surrounding islands.
