Trollstigen opens on Friday, that’s three days earlier than planned: https://www-nrk-no.translate.goog/mr/trollstigen-i-rauma-opnar-11.-juli-2025.-tre-dagar-tidlegare-enn-planlagt-1.17486065?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=de&_x_tr_pto=wapp

They have also turned it into a tough gravel climb which will reduce the campervans!

That’s Great! Can’t wait to tackle it on my new Cutthroat!

Reply to Alternative (and beautiful) routes to Nord-Norway
I assume you’ll take Fv 705 between Røros and Stjørdal? That’s a very beautiful ride (although you’ll end up in “Hell” 😉).
If you want to take a “detour” via Sweden, I won’t recommend E14 towards Storlien. Yes, you can ride long stretches on smaller roads/ gravel/ mud but also long stretches on the main road with many trucks on a narrow road.…

Reply to Camera storage on a bikepacking trip
Thanks for this recommendation. Bags like this would for sure be the best way to carry a camera. But I really don’t want to cycle with a hip bag every day for weeks 😬
It’s such a first world problem …

Reply to Camera storage on a bikepacking trip
Thank you both for sharing your experiences; much appreciated 👍
So, in the end it’s a question of priorities 😬
I don’t really consider a hip bag or rucksack an option for me.
My camera (a Canon EOS R50) is not as bulky and heavy as a Nikon P950 but I’m still unsure if it’s worth the “suffering” because I’m not that much of a photographer…

In winter, my preferred place to be is the sofa. When it’s cold outside, I choose a warm drink inside, while my bike dreams of another bikepacking trip next summer. But now it’s time to leave the comfort zone and try something different: A bicycle trip in March!
With a lot of help from cyclenorway staff, I felt well prepared and equipped for a…

My first night in a shelter (in Larvik) was totally fine. Took the train to Oslo, then to Hamar, where the adventure began: More and more snow on the road until I finally gave up reaching another shelter and pitched my tent on the deep snow

On the second day, it snowed a lot. I crossed the Norwegian-Swedish border three times on a mix of small gravel and broader paved roads. I really learned to love my spike tires on days like these; they have a decent grip on ice and packed snow.
