If you want diverse road cycling experiences Norway is the country to go to! Choose between extreme climbs, easy routes, fjord views, and mountain terrain. What they all have in common, though, is amazing encounters with Norwegian nature.
It is easy to see the appeal of road cycling: By covering longer distances compared to walking, you get to see much more, and at the same time you stay active and get to be close to nature. And it is equally easy to see what makes Norway a perfect location! The country is famous for its natural splendours, and you have the additional benefit of good quality roads, many of which are refreshingly free from traffic, noise, and pollution.
There are so many options if you want to go road cycling in Norway. If you want to see the fjords, Fjord Norway has some of the most famous cycling routes, like The Atlantic Road, Trollstigen, and Dalsnibba. If you’d rather ride under the midnight sun, Northern Norway is a paradise for road cyclists. Bring your bike island-hopping several places in the region, or cycle the Coastal route from Steinkjer in Trøndelag to Bodø.
“If I ever fancy an easy-paced spot for cycling, then there is no better place to head for than Norway’s Lofoten Islands. Situated above the Arctic Circle, they are surely among the most beautiful places on earth,” says Andrew Straw, director of the tour operator Saddle Skedaddle in the British newspaper The Guardian.
But why not extend the trip and cycle on the less crowded Norwegian Scenic Routes in Vesterålen and Senja – or go explore the Lyngenfjord region near Tromsø, or the mountain plateau Finnmarksvidda in Finnmark?
In Eastern Norway, you can spend a few days pedalling around Norway’s largest lake, Mjøsa, cycle on coastal roads along the Oslofjord, or try your legs at more challenging terrain in Telemark.
If you want to cruise through idyllic towns with white-painted wooden houses and dive into temperate waters from smooth coastal rocks along the way, you should head to the coast of Southern Norway. Or you can head inland to lush valleys and winding roads in Setesdal and Sirdal.

Before you go, please note that it’s forbidden to bike in many of Norway’s tunnels. cycletourer.co.uk has a useful map of which Norwegian tunnels you are allowed to cycle through.
Now, hit the road – and always wear a helmet!
