EXPLORE THE MAGIC OF THE FJORDS
Life in the modern world, for all of its excitements, can be overwhelming. That’s why we designed a cycling adventure in which all you have to do is concentrate on yourself, your bike, and the open road…and skies are a helicopter trip to the top of a pass where your bikes will be waiting to descend.
Allow us to handle all of the details so you can relax and make the most of each day. Explore Norway’s stunning scenery in small groups of like-minded adventurers. You’ll feel like you can ride forever, inspired by the crystal-clear air of the Sunnmøre Alps and enchanted by the sensational views.
Then it’s time to relive the day’s adventures with your friends, over a drink by the fire, in the sauna, or at dinner on the edge of a spectacular fjord.
Flights not included. Direct flights available at lastminute.com
Your journey will allow you to chart your own course along the flat roads at the fjord's edge and up the winding trails through the mountains, surrounded by crystal clear lakes and forests that inspired folk tales of trolls and talking beasts.
Each trip will be completely guided. The group will be led by an ex-professional cyclist with the option of changing the route as needed. Each day is perfectly balanced, allowing the group to get as much out of the ride as they want. If you want to push your limits and hunt for Personal Bests, your guide will set a challenging pace.
Throughout the week you’ll be staying in a beautiful luxury hotel. So you can sock up all the Norweigan scenery and culture and enjoy the best the local area has to offer. All meals are included, so you can sit back and relax.
