Overview

Welcome to some of the world’s most untouched wilderness! Meet your Trek Travel guides on the first morning of your Norway bike tour in Sogndal, before departing on a one-hour shuttle taking you north along the longest navigable fjord to the outpost town of Skjolden. Our destination? The world-class Skjolden Hotel, where the views take center stage. Relax, unwind, and make yourself comfortable. We’ll then gather for a scenic lunch followed by introductions to the group and your Trek bike for the week. You'll roll out on a relaxed, mostly flat ride through farmlands, and along Eidsvatnet Lake with stunning cliff views. These sweeping views will give you just a taste of what’s to come. Tonight, we’ll get together for a social hour and a delicious farm-to-table dinner at the Skjolden Hotel, giving a toast to the adventures ahead.

Overview

Our first full day of cycling takes us along the beautiful east side of Lustrafjord, following the aptly named “Romantic Road.” Stunning fjord scenery, charming farms, and grazing wildlife will make you fall in love with Norway. Our destination is the picturesque village of Urnes, home to Norway’s oldest Stave church, a UNESCO World Heritage site built around 1130. After exploring this remarkable example of traditional wooden architecture, we’ll enjoy a packed lunch featuring local products. You can then cycle back to the hotel or opt for a shuttle. In the afternoon, enjoy the fjord with a refreshing swim, SUP, or kayak. This evening, we’ll all gather for a wonderful group dinner.

Overview

A memorable day of cycling awaits you today on our Norway bike tour, with a deep dive into the finest and most iconic alpine landscape in Norway, starting with the legendary Sognefjellet mountain pass. It’s the highest in northern Europe, reaching an elevation of 4,700 feet (1,430 m) above sea level and has been rated by UK-based newspaper, The Guardian, as one of the world’s top 10 cycling routes. A quick shuttle carries riders over a 10-mile (16 km) climb with nearly a 10% grade, of which the avid cyclists can choose to ride instead. From here you’ll enjoy a gradual climb surrounded by towering peaks and foreboding glaciers. Don’t be surprised if all future rides pale in comparison. At the summit, we'll make a leisurely stop at Sognefjellet Hotel for coffee so you can take in the vistas before you enjoy a sweeping descent, returning you back to the hotel. Those wanting a shorter option can take the shuttle back, instead. Tonight, dinner is on us but you can enjoy it at your leisure at the hotel's restaurant, featuring casual, local fare. Remember to pack your bags as tomorrow we'll say goodbye to Skjolden as we look forward to another beautiful locale.

Overview

After a hearty breakfast, prepare for an exciting adventure aboard a private RIB boat, cruising the Lustrafjord with the wind in your hair. Our local guide will share highlights and fascinating stories from WWII as we journey through the fjord. We'll stop at Feigefossen, one of Norway’s tallest single-drop waterfalls, with a stunning 715-foot (218 m) free fall. You’ll have the option to take a short hike to a breathtaking viewpoint. After this, we continue by boat to Solvorn, a picturesque village on the western shore of Lustrafjord, where you can explore before we ride to the serene shores of Hafslo Lake. From there, we’ll head to Beste Bakken, your home for the next two nights. Tonight, enjoy a relaxing dinner at the hotel on your own, surrounded by the beauty of the fjord.

Overview

Today you’ll discover the majestic view of the Norwegian fjords with a ride to the Jostedal glacier, where you'll witness the famous Nigardsbreen glacier arm. You'll have the option to board a small boat for a quick five-minute cruise on the lake and then hike to get closer to the glacier (approximately 30-40 minutes by foot). Make sure to pack your camera as the Jostedal glacier is continental Europe's largest glacier with enough water to fill 300 million bathtubs! Afterward, we'll all head back to the visitor center for a casual cafe lunch with impressive views. It is likely that nobody back home has ever heard of nor visited this tiny corner of Scandinavia, so make sure you document every fascinating moment. Avid riders can ride back to the hotel while others can shuttle all or part of the way back. Tonight, we’ll gather together as a group over dinner and drinks at the hotel to toast our accomplishments, new-found friendships and incredible adventures!

Overview

It's time to say goodbye to the glory of the Norwegian wilds. Enjoy a leisurely breakfast or choose to take an early morning spin to the village of Gaupne and along the breathtaking Lustrafjorden one more time before packing your bags for the trip back to Sogndal. It's been a special journey, and we know you'll want to come back!
