The four-stage event runs from 14th to 17th August and starts in Hammerfest on the island of Kvaløya.
The finish line is in North Cape (Nordkapp) on the island of Magerøya, 204km north of Hammerfest. Part of the stage one route will include taking the underwater North Cape tunnel and overcoming three uphill climbs.
Last year's winner, Thor Hushovd, returns to defend his title. This is the Norwegian's final race on home soil before he retires from the sport.
Hushovd can expect strong challenge from other Norwegian riders.
Lars Petter Nordhaug is tipped for success by many and the cyclist from Tønsberg is a future star.
