Bikepacking de Stavanger à Bergen

Ready for an epic cycling adventure along Norway’s stunning west coast? This route takes you from Stavanger, the “energy capital” of Norway known for its colorful old town and lively harbor, all the way north to Bergen, the city of seven mountains famous for its charming wooden houses and bustling fish market.

You’ll pedal just over 236 km, so be ready for a true long-distance ride! The route is mostly on cycleways (nice and safe), with some quiet and busy roads sprinkled in. While you’ll climb a total of about 1,800 meters, nothing gets crazy steep—just enough to keep your legs guessing and give you some amazing coastal views. Most of the way is paved or asphalt, though you’ll want to be prepared for some stretches where the exact surface is a bit of a mystery (hey, it adds to the adventure, right?).

Don’t forget to take a photo at the top of the highest point (just under 380 meters), and enjoy all the fjord views, small villages, and maybe even a ferry or two along the journey. Finish your ride with a wellearned Bergen fish soup by the harbor!
