Norway - West coast
 

Hi all,

I'm planning a ride up the west coast of Norway from Kristiansand to Tromso in the summer.

Everything I've read/been told so far is that the whole coast is spectacular, but are there any 'must ride' roads, or must see places?

Any suggestions welcome.

I heard the East coast is better. :innocent:

Just to start you off with the obvious:

Gerainger
Trollstigen
….

The Atlanitc road - amazing bridges.
Take the coast road and ferries north of Trondheim rather than the faster inland road.
Don't miss the Lofoten Islands.

From what I've seen of Norway, you'd have a spectacular trip no matter WHAT road you took !!:clap:

I'll hook you up with a route of your entire trip soon. Just have to get behind the computer. You'll have a fantastic trip, even if the weather turns bad.

Next 14 days are looking good all over the country, so hop on that bike!

Had to split the route in two, since there were so many custom points:

1. Kristiansand to Stjørdal: https://goo.gl/maps/CVEIm
2. Stjørdal to Tromsø: https://goo.gl/maps/OVf5Z

This will take you along some seriously awesome roads! I could write a long essay about all of them, but will instead guide you to these websites for more info on them:

National Tourist Routes in Norway - www.nasjonaleturistveger.no - You'll drive heaps of these!
Google Translate - Tindevegen
http://www.visitnorway.com/uk/where-...atlantic-road/ - The Atlantic Road
Kystriksveien - the coastal route - accommodation, activities and attractions along the Nordland coastline in Norway
Lofoten

Highlights include: Ryfylke, Hardanger, Aurlandsfjell, Tindevegen, Geiranger, Trollstigen, The Atlantic Road (Atlanterhavsveien) and the costal route up Northern Norway (Rv17). And of course the Lofoten islands.

The roads between Kristiansand and Tau are not familiar to me, so I simply gave you the quickest route here.

Have a nice trip :thumbup1::D:clap:

Just got back from Norway - did many of the roads already mentioned plus plenty of others. Couldn't find any bad ones ....................

have a great trip !
