By day you'll explore Norway’s magnificent landscape, forged by millennia of glacial activity. To simplify budgeting and as part of this full-board experience, you'll take your evening meals at your accommodation. These are predominantly set 3-course meals or buffet style allowing to pick and choose as you wish. Bergen, the beautiful Capital of the Fjords and Norway’s second city is the entry point and it is from here that you will transfer to Voss, the country’s adventure playground, where the journey really begins.
Voss and the surrounding countryside are emersed in natural beauty and the towering snow-capped mountains, lush green valleys, white water torrents and plunging waterfalls are a perfect introduction to Norway and a tantalising glimpse at what lies ahead in the coming days. The adventure begins to unfold almost with your very first pedal stroke, with the thrills, and challenges, coming in rapid succession as you head north and deeper into the fjords to acquaint yourself more intimately with the country’s natural wonders.
After three days of mountain riding, you'll tone things down a little with a change in both intensity and scenery, as you head to the seafarer’s Havlandet region on the west coast. This relatively tranquil stage is perfectly timed, offering an opportunity to conserve your energies a little in anticipation of the Queen Stage of the tour, when you'll embark on the famous Trollstigen Pass, Norway’s most spectacular climb and Ørnesvingen (The Eagle’s Wing) where from its lofty summit you'll be able to look down towards beautiful Geiranger - your final goal for the day.
*Due to a road closure and on-going maintenance, the Trollstigen Pass is not accessible on the June departure. Please read the itinerary page for the just as stunning alternative ride for the day*.
Things draw to a conclusion with a final, incredibly scenic, exploration of a historic route that has been drawing attention from the world’s rich and famous for centuries, ending in beautiful Ålesund, a city famous for its Art Nouveau architecture, where you will spend your final evening.
