Restaurants and shops
On Finland’s northernmost cycling route you don’t have to pedal hungry and there is a variety of options available, from local food to pizza. How about trying reindeer stew? Have you tasted Arctic char? Or maybe you’d like to experience the atmosphere at Annukka’s grill? The delicacies from the Arctic Ocean are also local specialties here.
Since grocery stores, cafes and restaurants are concentrated around the villages, cyclists should carry enough water and snacks for the transitions. Most accommodations offer a lunch package to take along on the ride.
Karigasniemi and Nuorgam have a K-Market, while Utsjoki has Uulan Säästö. The opening hours of the village grocery stores are slightly shorter than those in the south. Please note that not all accommodation providers and other services are open year-round. To avoid disappointment, it’s recommended to confirm the opening hours by calling them in advance.
