Bergen to Åndalsnes (v. Sognefjellet)
This route diverges from the coastline, instead leading inland towards the towering mountain passes. Offering a mix of challenging climbs and serene stretches along flat fjord roads, it provides a balanced cycling experience, allowing for recovery between ascents. Notable highlights include the majestic mountain passes of Sognefjellet (the highest in Northern Europe), Geiranger (with the option of a detour to Dalsnibba), and the world-famous Trollstigen. Along the way, cyclists traverse tranquil roads flanking two of Norway’s longest fjords, Hardanger and Sognefjorden. Upon reaching Åndalsnes, you have the choice to board a train bound for Oslo or Trondheim or to continue their journey northward, either along the coast or through additional mountain passes towards Oppdal.

Keep in mind
All cycling routes published on CYCLENORWAY.com are intended as planning resources and sources of inspiration to be used alongside your own research and judgement. Routes are created using careful research, but every cyclist has different abilities, expectations, and risk tolerance. Some routes may include hike-a-bike sections, muddy or wet hiking paths, technical terrain, steep climbs, descents, or remote areas that may not be suitable for everyone. Route data, mapping software, and conditions can also change or contain inaccuracies. Cycling in Norway is generally very safe. Nevertheless, if you choose to ride these routes, you do so at your own risk.
