Island hopping with bike on the coast of Romsdal and Nordmøre

This cycling tour starts in Molde and proceeds westwards to the islands Midsund, Aukra, Ona and Finnøya. Between the islands you can relax on ferries. The tour continues on the mainland to the fishing village of Bud, across small islands and skerries along the Atlantic Road and ends with a bus trip through the Atlanterhavsveien tunnel (call 177 for time table) from Averøy to Kristiansund.

Some parts of the cycling tour take you across flat islands right at the ocean's edge, with views of the high mountains on the mainland. There is very little traffic on may stretches, en route there are also lots of lovely detours you can take if you want to see more of the area. The route, which totals around 300 km, is cycled in stages with overnight stops along the way. Along the route you will pass campsites, cabins, seahouses and places to eat.
