There are a variety of extraordinary cycle tours in Norway. Probably the most renowned is the Rallarvegen trail from Haugastol to Myrdal and Flam. It’s a somewhat effortless excursion over the Hardangervidda mountain plain and down to the fjord at Flam. You will pass through thrilling high mountain terrain on a route that will also take you to the Navvy Museum where you can make a stopover to explore the history of how the railway and the road was built.

The choice of cycle routes is as varied as the many facets of Norway, from the mountainside to the Coastal Route. The description of a bicycle route along the Coastal Route is a combination between cycling and using other kinds of transportation.

The diversity of Norway’s vibrant scenic landscape offers a wide choice of exciting cycling adventures. Whether you prefer cycling on tranquil roads through deep forests, over high mountains or along lush valleys and fjords, you can set the pace, decide the distance and stop when you find a cozy café, a relaxing picnic spot or when you see something you want to explore more closely.

There are many well-planned cycling routes in Norway. A cyclist’s map, route description and other significant information is available. The trails are signposted with special signposts with many attractions in route. You can either rent a cycle or bring your own.

Jaeren offers pleasant cycle tracks and Sandnes is a cyclist’s paradise, with several routes of varying length around the town.
The flatter region around the fjords of Nordfjord offers breath-taking scenery.

The route from Horten to Helgeroa takes in the most heavily populated coastal region in Norway, but is still considered a great place for a cycle tour.

The Telemark Canal offers beautiful waterways with rivers, lakes and forested hills. It has a moderate terrain but becomes more challenging the further into the country you go.

The landscape in Buskerud features gently rolling hills with lush forest and waterways such as the Drammenselva River. Along the route are many nature reserves and conservation areas that protect unique natural phenomena, such as Fiskumyannet Lake. Both fauna and flora flourish in this fertile environment and can be enjoyed first hand if you are willing to make short diversions from the main route.

Haldenvas Sdraget is mainly characterized by forests, lakes and rivers. The rolling countryside in this area is a change from the mountainous areas and the rivers are long and narrow, only being interrupted by streams or channels acting as a link to the next lake.

Flat islets and skerries in peaceful coastal scenery characterize aust-Agder, where deposits from the last Ice Age have marked the landscape. There are many beaches and sloping rocks that are superb for swimming and sunbathing.

Rorosyidda is a gentle, friendly region of the mountains of Norway. Parts of Rorosyidda are a dairy farming district with deep valleys covered in birch and pine forests, but also naked, weather beaten mountains and small, picturesque villages are typical of the district. The centerpiece of this area is the mountain hamlet Roros, which was once the hub of copper production in this area.
