Description of your hike

This cycling route follows lightly-trafficked roads from Sandnessjøen town centre to the parking lot by the trailhead for Kvasstinden, one of the peaks of The Seven Sisters. This is an easy bike ride through relatively flat farmland, and which passes quite close to the famous mountain range, The Seven Sisters. You really get a feeling of the majesty of these mountains.

You pass numerous trailheads for the various peaks. If you want, you can stop and do a summit hike or ascend part ways up one of the mountains. Just pay attention to the time, as these mountains are quite high.

Return trip

From the bus stop at the junction of county roads Fv138 and Fv17, you can take a bus back to Sandnessjøen – provided it has room for your bike. You can, of course, cycle back the same way you came. Your third option is to take the cycling path up to route Fv139 and follow that back to town. This alternative does require cycling a short stretch on the often-busy road Fv17, but if you turn left towards Novik your final stretch back to the town centre will be on a more lightly-trafficked road.
