What Guests are Saying
Cyclists riding along a fjord

I have worked for a Trek dealer for 10 years, and have had several friends and customers go on these trips, so I had high expectations going into this. Needless to say, this trip exceeded every single one of those expectations by a mile. I was blown away by the riding, the activities, the hosts, the accommodations, everything. This was a truly wonderful experience, and one that I am excited to tell my friends, family, and customers about when I get home!

To me this trip embodied the idea Trek Travel experience. The riding provided a good challenge without being too overwhelming, all in spectacular scenery. The pace of the trip felt relaxing and there was just the right amount of off-bike experiences.

Gary T., Trek Travel Guest

It was clearly a shared opinion by everyone on this trip that it was terrific. Obviously the setting was extraordinary, and the planning and execution of the tour by Trek Travel generally was terrific. Even with all of that, the quality and pleasure provided by Alvaro and Pavel really made the trip. As my first Trek Travel experience, I was expecting a wonderful "bike tour" and came away thrilled with what was in fact a wonderful "adventure" bike tour. Memorable for a long time to come.

Stave Church in Urnes

Honestly when I booked the trip I assumed the non-bike experiences would be touristy and maybe not worthwhile. I was 100% wrong. These were some of the highlights of the trip, clearly picked by people with local knowledge of the area, and were a wonderful way to augment the riding of the trip. The guides had even clearly become friendly with the organizers of these excursions and they were all extremely accommodating. I had a blast on every one of these and am so glad they were a part of the trip!

NO:RIB boayt adventure across the fjord

The off-the-bike experiences were a delight and fit well with the overall "adventure" element of the bike tour. Particular full marks to the RIB boat adventure, and to the RIB boat pilot/guide who provided a warm, knowledgeable, and fun element to the experience.

NO:lunch at Walaker hotel

Every single meal was wonderful. It was so nice not to have to worry about figuring out food once during the whole trip. I also enjoyed the mix of having formal dinners some nights and casual on others, it was very nice to change things up.

Know Before You Go!

We want you to be fully prepared for your cycling vacation of a lifetime. This involves making sure that you choose the appropriate trip for you and that every aspect of your experience is flawless. Each Trek Travel trip is unique to ensure maximum enjoyment every time.

Your Trip Need to Knows:

  • Hotels in Norway: In order to provide the best experience on our Norway bike tour, we have chosen hotels based on their beautiful location rather than luxurious amenities. Please note that the hotels are Explorer-level and while they are very comfortable, they provide more basic bathroom products and services.
  • Dinners on trip: Dinners are normally at the hotel due to their remote locations. Some meals are formal, multi-course dinners while others are more casual. In all cases, they use high-quality local produce with fresh ingredients. Dietary restrictions can be accommodated if communicated in advance to your Trip Consultant during the booking process.

FAQs

From late June to early August, the weather is at its warmest with temperatures reaching about 72°F (22ºC) and it never seems to get really dark. Despite the summer months bringing long hours of daylight and pleasant temperatures, you must be prepared for rainy days and chilly temperatures as the weather changes quickly. The days can vary between sunny and warm where you can enjoy a refreshing dip in the fjord, to cold and humid, with temperatures hanging near freezing (35°F / 2ºC) when cycling over mountain passes! Therefore, we recommend bringing a variety of cycling gear, from warm to cold and wet weather. You must be prepared with the proper rain gear, including booties and warm winter gloves for the long descents at higher altitudes. Layers are key when riding in Norway! View our Packing List
