... by bicycle

Cycling on Åland has become increasingly popular. And it is not so strange considering the closeness between attractions – the main island is just 45 kilometres x 50 kilometres. There is a well de- veloped road network with bicycle routes along less frequented roads. The distances are relatively short and natural rest stops such as beaches and rock outcrops are always near. The island nature is very diversified and you have a unique opportu- nity to go island hopping by means of archipelago ferries and bicycle ferries. There is a lot to discover – a bicycle and a desire to explore is all you need.
