About this trip

Norway is the country of fjords and mountains. It is als a paradise for motorcycling because the country is mountinous almost everywhere and the roads are therefore very twisty, and many of them are still unpaved. That offers a thrilling motorcycle tour, starting in Oslo, where the open road beckons. Heading west, the ride takes you through the breathtaking landscapes of lush valleys and towering mountains, all the way to the majestic Sognefjord. The crystal-clear waters and surrounding peaks set the stage for an unforgettable experience. From there, the ride continues towards the iconic Geirangerfjord, with its dramatic cliffs and cascading waterfalls, before conquering the legendary Trollstigen mountain pass. This winding route, carved into the heart of the mountains, offers some of the most jawdropping views in the world. After passing through the picturesque village of Sunndalsöra, the gravel tracks leads to Lillehammer, known for its Olympic history and stunning scenery. The final leg of the trip brings you back to Oslo, with memories created of an epic adventure of exploration.
