Set off on a self-guided cycling adventure and explore the Norwegian coast and fjords at your own pace, without the disruption of a car window. You’ll feel the wind on your face, hear the birdsong and waves and smell the fresh air. Welcome to Norway!
Every day is different. Cycle a new route, from challenging to easier but with a guraranteed reward. Cycle in a variety of landscapes, from coastal islands in Bremanger to the valleys of Nordfjord.
Along the route, stop at a historic sheep farm, go picnicing with views over fjords and sea cliffs, visit authentic towns by the fjords and stop at a Viking museum to learn more about Norway’s Viking history.
After a day of cycling the roads, relax at charming and welcoming accommodations. Get a good night’s sleep to hop back onto your bike the following day. Every moment of this tour is designed by real-life cycling enthusiasts, so you know the routes are going to be memorable and worth the extra paddle.
This tour starts in the coastal area of Norway, also known as Little Lofoten because of the barren and rocky landscapes, red fisherman houses along the shoreline and fresh smell of salt sea water. Welcome to Bremanger!
Upon arrival, you will meet one of our guides at the hotel for a bike check and preparation. We make sure you and the bike are all set for a safe cycling adventure. You’re of course free to ask any questions you may have before the guide leaves.
Enjoy a warm lunch before heading out. Get to know your bike by cycling around the area for about an hour. It’s the perfect introduction to the tour and Bremanger. You’re all set to start the adventure tomorrow!
We hope you like seafood, because this hotel is famous for its seafood dishes.
Drop off your luggage at the appointed spot at the hotel.
It’s time to get on your bike and get going! Today’s stretch is over the island of Bremanger, past barren rock faces and the rocky coast right next to you. You will also pass a bright lit tunnel (with very few cars passing) to arrive on the island of Rugsund. Once on the other side of the fjord, admire the highest sea cliff of northern Europe: Hornelen!
Continue cycling over the winding fjord roads passing through small villages until you reach the inner part of the Nordfjord. Visit a historic sheep farm and meet the locals.
Enjoy a 2-course dinner tonight and stay the night at a home stay. Feel like a true local of the village.
Leave the village behind you as you bike along the Nordfjord to the ferry quay. This is traveling like the locals; board a quick 20-minute ferry across the fjord to the other side. Bike up into the valley and uphill towards a summer farm where you can stop for a break.
Continue over the backroads and along the fjord to a village at the end of the fjord’s arm: welcome to Nordfjordeid. Park your bike and go for a stroll along the charming main street with the wooden houses. If you want, you can visit the Sagastad Viking museum to learn more about the Vikings that lived here. You can board the biggest Viking ship replica based on archaeological finds just outside the museum.
You will stay the night at a hotel in town.
After breakfast, leave Nordfjordeid and make your way to the deepest lake of Europe, Hornindals lake. Today’s journey continues through mountainous terrain and through valleys that other tours overlook. But we don’t!
Arriving at the hidden fjord, Hjørundfjord, meet the rest of the participants to board a private boat over the fjord. Look around as this as ‘Norway’ as it gets: the Sunnmøre Alps area and the jagged peaks soaring from the fjord. The boat docks in a small fjordside village where you will have lunch.
You will stay at a 3-star hotel by the fjord.
Get ready for a mountainous biking route today. Cross the fjords using a local ferry and make your way through the Norangsvalley: what we believe is one of Norway’s more interesting valley. Here you get to get sights of the steep mountain, goat herds and shepherd cabins.
In the town of Hellesylt, get on board of the ferry onto the UNESCO world heritage listed Geirangerfjord and watch as the Seven Sisters Waterfall plunges in the fjord from over 1000ft above. After a steep climb up a winding road, you will arrive at your hotel for the night. A 3-course dinner awaits you.
Take the ferry back through the Geirangerfjord back to Hellesylt. This next stretch goes into a surprisingly remote valley and up an historic road. These days, this road is only used by hikers and cyclists. Ride the 10-kilometer gravel road section and enjoy the silence here. Cars are not allowed here.
Continue towards the village and along a glacial lake in the Stryn area, next to Jostedalsbreen National Park. Feel free to take a break here to soak in the scenery.
End your day in the village of Loen, surrounded by glaciers and high mountain peaks. Stay the night at a historic hotel.
This is last cycling day of the tour. You will cycle along the main road for a bit before you take a turn onto the Panorama road. Welcome back to the Nordfjord area, but this time, another part of the fjord. The road takes you up higher giving you fantastic views over the fjord.
About halfway on this road, you can take a small detour to a waterfall which you can walk under and fill your water bottle.
After a long ride along the Nordfjord, give your muscles a break and board a ferry. This quick ferry takes you across the fjord in just 10 minutes. Cycle the last stretch along the Gloppenfjord and to the town of Sandane where you will stay for your final night.
Check out of the hotel after breakfast. Your tour has ended. We thank you so much traveling with us!

This is a self-guided tour, meaning you travel independently and set your own pace. However, some activities and ferry crossings have fixed schedules. At these times, you will need to be at a specific location—such as a ferry quay or an activity meeting point—at the designated time. Other travelers on the same route will also follow this schedule, but you are not part of a group.
After the ferry crossing or scheduled activity, you are free to continue cycling at your own pace, independently or with your travel companions, just as before.
Let our guests’ reviews about tours and vacations to Norway and their favorite travel experiences inspire you
We were so very fortunate to find Norway-Adventures.com in which they arranged our entire 2 ½ week travels in Norway. My husband and I cannot say enough about Norway-Adventures.com and how Anne and her husband planned the perfect vacation for us.
My husband and I are 70-year-old avid hikers and travelers both in US and in Europe. We only do very small group tours or find local tour companies to arrange personalized travel itineraries for just the 2 of us. They have lived in Norway for 15 years and their entire focus of their tour company is to create a very personalized vacation. We wanted a combination of unique adventures and cultural experiences, and Anne completely achieved all we had hoped for.
With all the travel companies we have dealt with in the past, we have never had a travel company like Norway-Adventures that was so complete with their level of instructions, organization, identifications of unique accommodations, supply of highly professional hiking, biking, kayaking and cultural guides. Three weeks before we left on our trip, we received our Dropbox of information that was so detailed. Everything we needed was in an extensive list of files that gave us everything we would need: GPS for driving directions, times we needed to be at the ferry, names and phones number of each of the Inns, and suggestions for restaurants, hikes and things to do were all listed with links to each of these resources. The Dropbox was the perfect tour resource that we relied on daily.
But when plans had changed due to several days of rainy weather, Anne was always available to make the necessary adjustments in our tour the day before. They say you don’t come to Norway for the weather and Anne was ready to make the changes that would not work with our rainy days.
Our goal for Norway was to be away from the heavy travel destinations that tourists travel there in the summer. With that in mind, Anne planned our trip in the Westfjords. Providing us with all the hidden gems of central Norway where the fjords enter deep from vertical cliffs, the archipelagos separate the Norwegian from the North Seas and the forests are verdant. Vast numbers of waterfalls spill down the cliffs of numerous fjord inlets. The scenery was magnificent everywhere Anne focused our tour.
The icing on the cake is the accommodations Anne chose for us. Anne is highly connected in the Westfords to the owners of historical inns who have been in the family for generations. It was so special to meet the families at each of these very special Inns and hotels where you get to meet and get to know the entire family who work there. The food at each of these inns are also family-run and incredibly fresh and delicious breakfasts and dinners that are included with your stay. With Anne’s connections, we were always surprised to find we received the best rooms in the inns and hotels.
Our hiking guides were incredibly knowledgeable, professional and so helpful in locations where I personally needed an extra hand to climb. We were so pleased with the selection of hikes that Anne organized for us. We are strong hikers, and she found just the perfect hikes to meet our adventurous expectations. The guides even brought tea and coffee and a snack when we got to the top of each mountain. What a wonderful and thoughtful treat.
I can honestly say that Norway Adventures is right up there with the best. The planning was meticulous, communication was excellent, and Anne and Anouk were extremely patient with the many many questions and queries I had in the planning stage.
We are a well travelled family, and have experience with firms like this all over the world. In terms of the trip itself, everything was seamless, nothing was overlooked, each day was exactly as they said it would be, and the planning was so precise that it allowed us to take advantage of every single day of the holiday.
We had an absolutely fantastic time in Norway. One of the most beautiful countries we have visited without doubt, and I know that we wouldnt have had the same experience without Norway Adventures. They took so much of the stress out of the planning and made sure we had exactly the kind of holiday experience we wanted. Highly recommended!
Three years ago we spent two weeks on the fjords and coast of Norway with our son and his wife. They put the time and effort into designing a wonderful trip. We were so impressed and had such a wonderful time that we could not resist coming back.
Once again, Anne really spent the time to hone in on our interests and needs in a way we had never experienced before, except with Norway Adventures. Anne put together a fantastic, engaging customized tour off the beaten track through central Norway and down the west coast, traveling by train, private driver and boat. We encountered places and people we never would have found ourselves, who gave us insights into their Norway, its deep past and currently. The local guides were incredibly generous with their time, sharing their personal experiences and perspectives. The detailed daily itineraries (sometimes timed to the minute to ensure making ferry connections 😊) made our independent travel easy to negotiate without any hitches. At every step of the way, the trip went smoothly, way beyond our expectations. We have recommended Anne to many of our friends, who have been equally pleased, and look forward to another trip to Norway designed by Norway Adventures! Steve and Carol
We had an amazing 11-day customized active trip to Norway planned for our family of four. They met with us beforehand, really listened to what we wanted, and put together a trip that included places we never would’ve found on our own.
The daily guide they gave us made everything super easy, with great suggestions for things to do in each spot. It was such a fun and stress-free way to explore Norway. We’ll definitely use Norway Adventures again for future trips!
Our Norway Adventures family vacation was nothing short of spectacular! Every detail on the trip had been thoughtfully planned to meet our family’s specific interests and abilities, with meticulous attention to detail and seamless transitions.
Thanks to Norway Adventures, our family of four tackled a via ferrata, kayaked to a campsite in the fjords, and hiked snowcapped mountains with stunning views. We give Norway Adventures our absolute highest recommendation!
Our goal is to immerse you in adventures in authentic Norway, away from the crowds. Hike and paddle through stunning nature, meet knowledgeable guides, learn about Norwegian culture and history, enjoy local cuisine and stay at unique small-scale hotels.
