Overview

About this collection

Cruise the Norway leg of EuroVelo 1 along the Atlantic coast—think fjords, islands, fishing villages, and endless sea views. Riding is mostly paved with a mix of cycleways and coastal roads, plus the odd gravel bit. Ferries are part of the journey (and the charm), giving you built‑in breaks with big scenery.

Traffic varies: plenty of quiet stretches, with busier links near towns. The terrain rolls, with some punchy climbs, but the views pay you back. Coastal weather changes fast, so bring layers and be ready for wind and rain. Summer means long days—midnight sun if you head far north—while spring and autumn are calmer but cooler.

These routes string together classic coastal highlights without overplanning: follow the shoreline, hop ferries, and aim for harbors, beaches, and viewpoints. Towns have regular services; between them, top up water and snacks.

Great for touring bikes with sturdy tires; e-bikes do well too. Lights help for tunnels, and it’s worth checking local rules for any bike restrictions. If you’re into sea air, lighthouses, and big horizons, this collection is a winner.
