HIGHLIGHTS FROM OUR MOTORCYCLE TOURS TO NORWAY
The Journey
Ride up through Holland, Germany and Denmark avoiding motorways and exploring the rolling countryside of these often overlooked areas.
Fjord Explorer
Following the western coastline of Norway you’ll cross Fjords by suspension bridge, ferry and underwater tunnel marvelling at Norwegian engineering ability.
The Flam scenic railway
Rightly voted one of the world’s top 20 railway journeys. Take the train or ride our secret route following it’s journey from sea level to the mountain station 867 metres above the Fjords.
Arctic Adventurers
Not only do we cross the Arctic circle, visiting the discovery centre for an obligatory photo op but we also drop in and say hi to our friends at the Arctic Circle raceway, the most northerly racetrack in the world.
The Big Hitters
No stones are left unturned on our Norwegian Adventures, ride the Trollstigen road or ‘Ladder of the trolls’, the Eagles Road and Atlantic Road. If that’s not enough for you how about a visit to Pulpit Rock (Preikstolen) with its 500m vertical drop to Lysfjord?
Geirangerfjord UNESCO Site
Geirangerfjord is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most achingly beautiful areas we go to on any tour. Imagine New Zealand, crossed with Alaska and Antarctica combined and you start to get the picture.
Cities galore
Norway isn’t just about the scenery though, we spend time in Alesund, Bergen and Oslo amongst others. There’s cable car rides, Viking museums, fortresses and much more to explore.
Lakes and Forests
We also journey down through Sweden and with 53.1% of it layered in dense forest those wanting their off grid adventure fix will be over the moon.
