Hi everyone,
I’m having a great time cycling up the eurovelo 1 and Matthew’s maps and advice have been invaluable.
I’m in Tromso now and trying to decide whether to do the Havoysund alternative or the traditional NorthKapp tunnel route. I’m leaning towards the Havoysund alternative but just wondered if any of you have done these routes and…

Hi Jenny,
I cycled Havøysund – Olderfjord a year ago, and I can only recommend the trip. I started in Havøysund (after disembarking Havila ferry) in the morning and arrived in Olderfjord in the afternoon. The route follows the rugged coast line most of the time but includes some climbs into the fjell. That far north, no trees give shelter, and… Read more

I’m planning to go from Kristiansand via Stavanger to Trondheim in August. Looking for some spectaculair gravelroutes I should take. Does anyone have any tips?
-
There are no long-distance gravel routes along the fjords. If you’re heading to Trondheim via Kristiansand, then you need to head east towards Oslo and pick the NGRs: https://cyclenorway.com/en/national-gravel-routes/
If you want spectacular fjord and mountain roads, the Fjord Norway route is the one to do, but you need to be aware of tunnels,…

Hello all
What are your thoughts on the Flam–Kaupanger (or vice versa) ferry?
Is there actually a direct ferry, or do one have to take a connecting boot service via Gudvanger, with the risk of not getting a seat/place for the bike on one of the two journeys?
I’ll be travelling along this section of the Fjord Norway Route in the second half of…

Hi!!! Last year, due to a last-minute medical issue, I had to cancel my cycling trip to Norway. This year, if all goes well, I’ll spend 15 days with my son driving through the fjordsand then I’ll go back on my own by bike for 21 days. I wanted to do Trondheim–Tromsø, but just today I found a flight to Bodø, and since I’m very clear that I…

Leave your bike locked at a campsite or accommodation. Don’t leave it at the trailhead as bikes have been stolen on Lofoten. Wildcamping on Lofoten is not recommended, and locals are very annoyed by people who do it. Full information about travelling through Lofoten, including famous hikes, accommodation options, etc can be found here for…

Thank you so much! I’ve modified my route to spend almost two weeks in Lofoten, taking it easy and enjoying the scenery, and avoiding camping in the most crowded or populated areas. Even so, since I also want to do some hiking, I’ll probably end up using quite a few campsites.

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!
-
So… planning is getting more intense. The live link is generated – though not active yet of course. It will be another almost six months from now. But… anyone who would show me around a little or let me know about the best spots for a tent – follow here: 🙂

Dombås – Åndalsnes – Ålesund and Ålesund – Geiranger – Dombås?
Hi!
Im planning a trip this weekend, taking the train from Oslo to Otta or Dombås and doing the second half of the Rörås-Ålesund route (finishing in Ålesund). Has any one done this ride? I have a few questions if you have time to answer. For your info I’ll have a gravel bike…-
E136 is the main road and can be busy at certain times of the day. Part of the road has a cycle lane. In general, you are cycling on a few main roads with traffic (Any road that has E by it is a main road). Take a bus through that long tunnel from Åndalsnes town centre and ask the driver to drop you off at the first stop after the tunnel.…
-
Thanks for your reply. Good to know about the tunnel and the E-roads.
Unfortunately my bus to Oslo was delayed and I will miss my train from Oslo-Dovre. Cant really find any other good options apart from the RE10 train that leaves first tomorrow evening. Wanted to ask you if you have any other recommendations on travel options? My mail goal is…

Headed to Dombås for Tour de Dovre next week 🤞🏼🌤️ I’ve read the artical from December but feel free to share any of your “Must See” or “Must Do” along the route or along the drive there from the south 🙌🏼. We have the whole week off and will likely do the TdD Wednesday-Friday.
-
Maybe not a “must see” or “must do” but a nice little walk from the road east of Dovre, you’ll find a nice shelter with a great view: https://maps.app.goo.gl/1mRj4fxz4cQnFWoH8
Good luck with the weather 😎

Hi, just wanted to share a draft cycle route on Komoot I made and plan to cycle in 2026. It is not perfect yet, and I did not check tunnels etc. I share it as inspiration for those planning for new routes.
