Day 1: Voss

Arrive in Bergen, where you'll have a brief tour before a train ride to Voss.

Day 2: Sogndal
Sogndal

Follow gorgeous mountain roads to Gudvangen, where we'll catch the ferry across Sogne Fjord, the world's longest and deepest fjord.

Day 3: Turtagro

Today will be your most challenging, as we cross and then follow Lustra Fjord and climb to Turtagro, Norway's mountaineering center.

Day 4: Lom

Put your "wheels" to one more test: an ascent of Sogne Fjell, Northern Europe's highest pass. Then, fly downhill to the town of Lom.

Day 5: Grotli
Grotli

An undulating route past waterfalls and perhaps the occasional moose takes us upward again to the ski town of Grotli.

Day 6: Saebo

You'll agree that today's climbs are worth the effort when you drink in the views of the spectacular Geiranger Fjord - and later kick back for a few hours on a fjord ferry ride.

Day 7: Alesund

From the Sunmore Alps, it's more fascinating fjords and two ferry rides en route to the island port of Alesund.

Day 8: Farvel!

Today, we depart.

All Levels

You’re potentially interested in any level of trip and don't want your site experience tailored to any specific level.

Easy

You’re new to biking, or you just want to take it easy with lots of stops to take pictures and explore and no one hurrying you along. Expect a leisurely pace over generally flat terrain.

Average distance per day: 18-35 miles.

Make This Your Default Level

Athletic Beginner

You’re not a fanatical rider, but you exercise regularly and enjoy a leisurely day’s spin on your bike. You might want to graduate to “intermediate” one day, or not. The pace is relaxed but the terrain gently rolling, more ups and downs, more vistas and valleys than Easy tours.

Average distance per day: 35-45 miles.

Make This Your Default Level

Intermediate

You’re active on your days off, and recreational biking is most likely your weekend sport of choice. You love to ride and it shows in your endurance and strength. A steady but active pace, with opportunities to push yourself and some challenging climbs, with great descents over rolling terrain. (These folks ARE cyclists, they are usually pretty serious cyclists but do not train at the expert level.)

Average distance per day: 40-50 miles.

Make This Your Default Level

Expert

You crave vigorous pacing, challenging climbs and thrilling descents. You crave longer mileage with lots of hills and descents, varying terrain, and a mountain pass or two only makes it better.

Average distance per day: 45+ miles.

Make This Your Default Level

Family

If you have kids under 16, we have great options for you! With fewer hotel changes, easier biking and wheels for all ages, we've got your ideal active family holiday.

Average distance per day: 20–30 miles.
