Day 9, Geiranger - Ålesund

The last day of the tour started with a ferry cruise on the Geiranger fjord. The world’s most famous fjord offers dramatic beauty: vertical rock walls, countless waterfalls and crystal-clear water! After that, a well deserved strawberry cake and then we could hit the most spectacular mountain road of Norway, the famous Trollstigen. Opened in 1936 by King Haakon VII after 11 years of construction, this road is nowadays one of the most popular tourist attractions of the country. A quick break at the Trollveggen, the highest vertical wall of Europe, and then we finally headed to Ålesund. But before reaching the hotel, a last picture stop at the Aksla viewpoint is really a must! Another beautiful day, thank you Marilyn, David, Sunny, Dan, Elizabeth, Todd, Christina, Max, Brian, Marcel, Gregory and Jeff, it was a great pleasure meeting you and riding with you!

Day 8 - Fjaerland - Geiranger

We've had to leave behind the wonderful oasis of peace that is Fjaerland, to set out for Geiranger, the town at the end of the famous fjord. This was a packed day: a picknick by Domenico this time, a detour to Lovatnet, one of Norway's most beautiful lakes, the Strynefjellet old mountain road, Dalsnibba viewpoint, etc...

On the way down to warmer areas

Day 7 - Bergen to Fjærland

A spectacular ride today, through fjords and tunnels, many many tunnels! This part of Norway is like a swiss cheese, but the sceneries are really worth a few miles underground! Leaving Bergen, we headed to the Tvindefossen waterfall and then to Stalheim where we had lunch with a view. After riding the rollercoaster "Stalheimskleva" we finally hit the beautiful mountain road Aurlandsvegen, maybe the real highlight of the day. A short ferry ride and we finally reached Fjaerland, a little piece of paradise!

Jump, Christina!

Day 6 - Restday Bergen

Another restday, this time in beautiful Bergen. While most of the group has explored the city on foot, tourguide Laurens along with Brian, Jeff and Greg got on the bikes again for a short ride to see the Fjell fortress, a fortress from WWII on the island of Sotra, west of Bergen.

Day 5 - Sola - Bergen

The rain has not let off, so we had quite a wet drive along the Norwegian coast. Part of the group opted to take the short route to the hotel, others opted for the long, 400+km ride despite the weather. Now we've arrived in beautiful Bergen, and better weather should be on the way!

Day 4, Rest day in Sola

We've got a little day off to relax in Sola, near Stavanger. The weather has turned against us a bit, but no matter, we'll make the best of it! The toughest people in our group have decided to hike up to Pulpit Rock, while some of the others have opted for a Fjord cruise in a warm boat; a relaxing way to see the Lysefjord from another side.

Day 3, Vrådal to Sola (Stavanger)

Today we headed out to the coast, to the region of the fjords, and the first one we got to see (after a delicious picnic!) was one of the most spectacular in all of Norway, the famous Lysefjord. We reached it from where it ends, saw it from up high and then rode its vertical wall down to the town of Lysebotn. The wall is so steep that some of the turns, including a hairpin, are inside a tunnel! Approaching the coast near Sola, the weather changed a bit, it became cloudier and windier... so tomorrow we are open for many options on our first rest day! Stay tuned

Day 2 - Oslo to Vrådal

And the tour is on the go! We had a leisurely day, getting used to our bikes and the Norwegian roads that take us from Oslo to the tiny Vrådal. On the way there we had some great highlights, the 13th century wooden "stave church" of Heddal, and the Vrangfoss locks of the Telemark canal. And to top it off, some great little rolling roads almost up until the door of our hotel!
