The route

Roughly 4,000km and around 40,000m of climbing, point to point from Italy to Norway. You self-navigate between a handful of mandatory checkpoints, so route choice, resupply and sleep are all yours to plan.

Three weeks, many climates
Typical sessions
A big Alpine opening while the field is fresh, with mass-start adrenaline tempting you to overcook it
Weeks of accumulated fatigue and sleep debt across ~4,000km, not the single hard day of a sportive
Multiple climates in one race: 30C+ in the south, cold and windy on the Arctic finale
The midnight sun in the far north, where there are no darkness cues to tell you when to sleep
What your weeks look like
Typical sessions
Long Z2 endurance rides building from 5 to 12 hours, plus back-to-back weekend doubles to train tired legs
Sweet spot and tempo blocks for the sustained road power this event demands more than off-road ultras
Big climbing days of 3,000m and up to ready you for the Alpine opening
Overnight road rides and a 3 to 4 day self-supported trip to rehearse night riding, sleep and resupply
Not a generic schedule
