Oslo Fjord Loop
Most people picture Norway’s fjords as the wild, vertical worlds of the west, sheer cliffs, mist, and thunderous waterfalls. But that vision misses one of the country’s most overlooked treasures: the Oslofjord. Stretching 120 kilometres from the capital down to the Skagerrak Sea, it’s Norway’s ninth-longest fjord, and one of the few on Earth you can ride around entirely by bike, following peaceful backroads and coastal paths.
This journey offers a different kind of Norwegian beauty: softer contours, Viking traces buried in farm fields, medieval fortresses guarding quiet harbours, and fjordside villages where time moves slowly and lunch feels like history repeating itself. For a few effortless kilometres you even glide into Sweden, no checkpoints, no drama, just a subtle crossing of a border that’s stood for centuries.
