Good luck with your journey Paula; let us know how it goes, and if you want to write a blog post about your experience, please get in touch.
King regards

Hi Jamie, Fjord Norway is a difficult route and has a number of tourists and main roads to contend with. You should do Trondheim – Bodø or Trondheim – Bergen veir the coast, which have a lot less traffic and are more suited for the cycling experience you are after.

Wow, that is super helpful, thank you so much for sharing the alternative route!
Yes, thanks to this webpage I expect winter cycling and will be well prepared.
Kind regards
Cycing that far North in late April is still winter. Snow showers, freezing rain, and ice-cold arctic winds are all possible.
You will have to skip Andøya and head to Harstad, where there are few ferry options to get over to Senja and join the main route. The benefits of cycling in late April or early May are the roads will be quieter and accommodation will be cheaper and available at short notice.
Here is the route I recommend: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/46110518?privacy_code=m1FQ1p9beukiGBUzLA3AMcOkFWlxqfOV
Hi! I’m looking at that same route and would love company
. I was starting to worry that it might have too many cars on it because of some thing that Michael said elsewhere on the site. Do you think it will be OK traffic wise?
I anm arriving in Oslo June 24 and then need to get to Trondheim. I have until July21.

Hi Willie, I have seen on Strava people walking their bikes over the rockfall and getting around the tunnel. I think the worst of the rock fall has been cleared. You could use a taxi from Førde but expect to pay at least 30 euros and you’ll need to find one that will take your bike.
Hi Benny,
You shouldn’t have too many problems finding a cardboard bike box in Bergen.
Try the sports shops in the center and if they can’t help the large XXL stores usually have plenty: http://www.xxl.no/store-finder/sportsbutikk-bergen/lagunen
You also have Trek Bergen, who should be helpful: http://www.trekbikes.com/za/en_ZA/store/405995/
Full information about obtaining a bike box can be found here: http://www.cyclenorway.com/bike-box-travel/
Yes, that’s also on my route. We’ll see. Enough beauty to be had on the whole trip that I am not worried about one pass 🙂
I hope that Gamle Strynefjellsvegen will definitely be open at the beginning of July.
I’m more worried about Rallarvegen – I think I’ll have to take the train for part of the route.
Also looks very nice. I haven’t checked yet, where you leave the Fjord Norway route, but I’ll also have to check alternative routes, if the Mountain passes are closed (e.g. “Gamle Strynefjellsvejen”)
Hey,
you can find my route plan in the topic “Specific Route Question” (Fjord Norway route – need inspiration for route adjustment)
Hi Benny,
sounds awesome. Let’s stay in touch. Are you also arriving in Trondheim, or maybe like Matthew did in Oppdal by train?
double post deleted
I’m presuming this problem still exists?
Does anyone have any experience of using any of the forde taxi companies to pass through the tunnel?
