More riders from Australia and New Zealand are coming to Norway, and when you travel that far you usually stay a month or more. The problem is always the same: what to see, and what to leave out, knowing you may never return.
Guy and Judy from New South Wales struck that balance well. They rode both south and north, took in the classic roads,…

“We woke up in Valldal to rain so heavy it drummed the cabin roof like war. There was no other way but through. The day would be a game of hide-and-seek, trying to catch a weather window and ride it to the next stop. The fog swallowed the mountains on our descent to the Eidsdal ferry – snow-capped peaks towering over the fjord. Rain hammered us…

Rain so heavy it drummed the cabin roof like war - Cycle Norway
I do a lot of consultation calls throughout the year, helping cyclists plan their trips across Norway. After a while the conversations blur together, different routes, different faces, different ambitions, all coming through a screen. You rarely expect any of … Continue reading

Oslo is the only major city with endless gravel routes in all directions.

How I Rediscovered Bikepacking
When I was in my early teens—around 1978—two friends and I set off on a multi‑day bikepacking tour around Ryfylke in Rogaland. We loaded our bikes with a tent, sleeping bags, and cooking gear, then rolled out from Randaberg, where we all lived at the time.
The first stretch was easy enough: a 10‑kilometer ride to…

That’s a lovely reflection @[email protected] . Those early experiences have a way of staying dormant rather than disappearing, and it’s usually one small spark that brings them back to life. It sounds like you’ve rediscovered bikepacking in a way that actually fits the life you’re in now — and sharing it with your wife makes it even richer.…

Thanks Michel and Kritziana! I think the man in the shop just meant that the tent would be having more sun coz it doesn’t go down at night rather than implying that the midnight sun has some sort of magical properties. Anyway, thanks so much for your answers!

Hello everyone,
after my brother and I did a bikepacking tour from Oslo to Stavanger in 2024, we’re planning to ride from Trondheim to Bergen this year. The planned route is here: https://www.komoot.com/de-de/tour/2077109587?share_token=aPnqE6qaFhJw8m6vQuTGsYdAmu0RkE3d15YeS38DB14lT661Cu&ref=wtd
Our aim is to include sights such as Trollstigen and…

This will be a fantastic adventure! So many highlights on this route 😊
Some thoughts:
-Why start in Hell? Sure, nobody wants to stay in Hell, but the way to Trondheim is along busy roads. I assume you want to pay Trondheim a visit, otherwise I would recommend taking Selbuvegen in Hommelvik and riding South of Jonsvatnet through forests and…

Thank you very much for your tips!
Just for your information: we’re coming from Germany and will be flying to Trondheim/Stjørdal, with our return flight from Bergen. We were a bit unsure about the starting section of the route, but we’ll probably go via Selbuvegen now and most likely take National Cycle Route 1, then rejoin the original route… Read more

One factor would be the length of your rides. For day trips, Oslo might be a good option. A multi-day trip would offer more varied landscapes.
National Cycle Route 9 (The Wilderness Route) Oslo – Trondheim offers lots of nice gravel sections.
You can find several great shorter gravel routes (some loops) north of Oslo which can be reached by…
