Road cycling in Fjord Norway

A roller-coaster ride

With masterly constructions like the Trollstigen road and the Atlantic road, the region of Fjord Norway offers some of the most remarkable road cycling adventures in the country.

Road cycling in Northwest - Trollstigen and the Atlantic Road

It is in the northwestern part of Fjord Norway you find the Trollstigen hairpin bends. If you have a competitive streak, put yourself to the test in the Trollstigen race or the Trollveggen Triathlon, held in Åndalsnes every year. While in the area, make sure you take the opportunity to cycle the scenic Atlantic Road on the coast between Kristiansund and Molde.

Cycling by the coast is also well worth trying – a favourite is to go island hopping with shorter stages and ferry crossings. For the experience of a lifetime, you can try Bike & Sail - staying on board a boat on the fjord at night and cycling in the fjord landscape at day.

Climb Trollstigen by electric bike

The beauty of an electric bicycle is that it’s up to you how hard you want to work – and that you don’t have to be fit as a fiddle to join a guided tour of the Trollstigen road, with the notorious 11 hairpin bends.

Enjoy the fabulous views and finish with a gourmet two-course meal at the top. Along the way, your guide will tell you more about this engineering masterpiece.

Price from NOK 1,150 per person, including guide and gourmet lunch.

Road cycling in Bergen and Voss

Quite a bit further south, in the Stølsheimen area between Bergen and Voss, there are several fjord route cycling options along quiet local roads. Choose between short, easy trips and longer tours with climbs that are rewarded by impressive views at the top, and be sure to enjoy the beauty of the wide mountains, deep valleys, fjords and the beautiful coast as you ride.
