Hi,
I am looking for the best route to do which meets these criteria:
– Maximised scenery
– Good camping spots
– Around 1000km maybe like 800-1200
– And in summer so not too busy roads for most the way
If anyone has some suggestions that would be great as all the routes look amazing but its hard to pick!

Hirtshals → Bergen
The main ferry operator on this long north-Atlantic crossing is Fjord Line:
-
It runs daily or near-daily sailings from Hirtshals (Denmark) to Bergen (Norway) in the summer.
-
Crossing time: ~16–18 hours depending on schedule/season.
-
You can take your camper van and book a cabin or deck seat.

Hello everyone,
We are currently planning our three-week trip to Norway in August 2026.
Our idea is to travel to Norway in a camper van and then do a few two- to four-day gravel / road tours around Bergen to Kristiansand. We will leave our camper van behind each time and return to it after the tour.
I have two questions:
What do you recommend…

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

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.…
