The Fjord to Fjord Cycle Expedition
The Fjord to Fjord Cycle Expedition is a five stage cycling journey across some of the most spectacular landscapes in western Norway. Starting in Molde on the Romsdal coast, the route links fjords, mountain valleys and high alpine terrain before finishing beyond Geirangerfjord on the Nordfjord side.
Cyclists experience quiet fjord roads, dramatic mountain scenery and legendary climbs including the optional ascent to Dalsnibba above Geiranger. On the final day, a high speed RIB boat transfer takes the group from Østa across the fjords to the final hotel in Ålesund.
The tour is led by Toby, your dedicated tour manager, accompanied by a dedicated bike mechanic to keep everything running smoothly throughout the expedition.
