New to Cycle Norway

Eight incredible long-distance gravel routes across Norway. This spring, we show you a side of Norway that’s been forgotten, but not lost.

Norway is a breathtaking country best explored on two wheels, but it’s not always easy. Tunnels, fjords, mountains, and unpredictable weather can make cycling here a real adventure. That’s why I created Cycle Norway, to help you plan, stay safe, and get the most out of your journey. Study the site, get inspired, and join our community for the ultimate cycling experience.
