Bike Tours of Norway

Norway, one of the world's most mountainous countries, poses some tough physical challenges for the vacationing cyclist. But the memorable scenery, good roads, lack of heavy traffic, and comfortable lodging offer positives as well. There are several guide companies that offer all-inclusive bicycling packages, with some combining road travel with alternative recreation such as rafting, hiking, and comfortable hours spent aboard mountain railways.
  1. Blue Marble Travel

    • Blue Marble offers a seven-day, six-night bike tour along the deep fjords of Norway's North Sea coast. Travelers meet in the village of Finse. Mountain bikes take them to Flam following a rail trail, in view of glaciers, lakes, mountain slopes, and waterfalls. The following day begins at Myrdal, where the group takes a train and bikes downhill to Voss, near sea level. The trip continues along the Sognefjord, the longest fjord in Norway, via the Flam valley. The group camps in the mountains, then hikes in the mountains, finding peat bogs, hidden waterfalls, rushing streams, and deep forests. Concluding with ferry rides through the Sognefjord and Naeroyfjord, the tour ends at the town of Voss.

    Rotalis

    • This German company offers a seven-day Fjordnorway journey through the fjord country of northern Norway, beginning at Stavanger with a visit to the town's busy harbor and medieval cathedral. An enjoyable ferry ride carries the group across the Boknafjord to Leivrik, then another ferry allows a view of the Hardangerfjord. After a night in Rosendal, bikers travel up the fjord to Sundal and through the Folgefonna Tunnel to the Sorfjord and the Folgafonn Glacier. Cyclists follow the Eidfjord to the Hardangervidda Nature Center, then on day five bike through the Hardangervidda, a high-altitude plateau, and the meadows of the Fjell Plateau. Day six brings the group to Bergen via the Flams Railroad, the steepest conventional railway in Europe. The final day is set in bustling Bergen, once the capital city of Norway.
