Classic Fjords

By day we explore Norway’s magnificent landscape, forged by millennia of glacial activity, whilst in the evenings we indulge ourselves in a luxurious, full-board experience, inclusive of high quality hotels and the finest cuisine, designed to satisfy the desires of even the most discerning traveller.

Bergen, the beautiful Capital of the Fjords and Norway’s second city is our entry point and it is from here that we will transfer to Voss, the country’s adventure playground, where our journey really begins. Voss and the surrounding countryside is emersed in natural beauty and its towering snow-capped mountains, lush green valleys, white water torrents and plunging waterfalls are a perfect introduction to Norway and a tantalising glimpse at what lies ahead in the coming days.

Our adventure begins to unfold almost with our very first pedal stroke, with the thrills, and challenges, coming in rapid succession as we head north and deeper into the fjords to acquaint ourselves more intimately with the country’s natural wonders.

After three days of mountain riding we tone things down a little with a change in both intensity and scenery, as we make an excursion to the seafarer’s Havlandet region on the west coast. This relatively tranquil stage is perfectly timed, offering us an opportunity to conserve our energies a little in anticipation of the Queen Stage of our tour, when we embark on the famous Trollstigen Pass, Norway’s most spectacular climb.

Things draw to a conclusion with a final, incredibly scenic, exploration of a historic route that has been drawing attention from the world’s rich and famous for centuries, ending in beautiful Ålesund, a city famous for its Art Nouveau architecture, where we will spend our final evening.
