Sognefjellsveien
National Cycle Route 6
This epic across Norway is the perfect route if you want to see as much contrast in scenery in the shortest space of time. Deep valleys, powerful glaciers, Nordic forests, and one of Norway’s best fjords are on show.
Norway’s Grand Tour
This is not just a route but a grand tour of Norway where every type of terrain and nature is on offer. You’ll witness some of the most diverse landscapes anywhere on the planet. Mythical gravel roads through Nordic pine forests, turn into mountainous highlands surrounded by glaciers at the top of northern Europe.
The icy world then turns into lush green valleys as you drop over 1400m down to the world’s second-longest fjord. The majestic waterfalls plunging off the mountains around you are a treat for your eyes. After some comfortable riding around the fjord the only way out is to climb again before you finally roll into Norway’s second city, Bergen, and perhaps its most beautiful. Celebrate your epic journey with some local fresh seafood at Bergen’s iconic harbour. It will be hard to find another 750km that offers so much in such a short space of time.
