The Bussjö Route is a scenic day trip that takes you from Umeå out to the Västerbotten coast and back again. Along the way, you’ll cycle through a varied landscape of forests, open fields, and small villages before the sea suddenly opens up before you.

This tour is perfect for anyone who wants to combine cycling with a day at the coast. Bring your swimsuit and enjoy a dip at one of the area’s lovely beaches, or stop for lunch or a coffee break at Bettnessand Beach, Norrmjöle Beach, or the Norrmjöle Golf Restaurant.
