Why choose this route:
- The trip people save for — the entire length of Norway, south coast to the North Cape and back, in a single ride
- The far north the shorter trips never reach: Senja, Lyngen, the Alta canyon, and the midnight sun at the top of Europe
- The long way home, chosen deliberately — Lofoten, Vesterålen and the coastal road, instead of retracing the inland route
- 248 km a day — the slowest daily pace of our five Quests, because three weeks in the saddle asks for it
- A fraction of the price of a guided tour, with your own pace and your own preferences kept
Format:
A mobile-friendly digital tour book you bookmark on your phone, plus one GPX file per riding day. Instant download after payment, and emailed to you as well. No app, no account.
What’s included:
- An overview map and the complete day-by-day itinerary
- The highlights, local gems and experiences along each day’s ride, with a dinner recommendation for the evening
- Accommodation for every night — always two options, the best and the more economical alternative, each with a direct booking link
- The ferry crossings placed where they fall in the day, with the ones that need booking flagged
- A GPX file for every riding day — Garmin, TomTom, calimoto, Kurviger, Rever or your phone
Best suited for:
- Riders with three weeks who want to ride Norway completely, once and properly
- The ride to the North Cape — the journey on every rider’s list
- Riders who want the midnight sun, the Arctic coast and the islands, not just the fjords
- Riders who want everything researched, prepared and booked-ready — just book, fly and ride
Practical information:
The tour starts and ends near Oslo Gardermoen airport. Edition 2027, updated once a year. One rider per purchase — a Group Licence covers up to five riders. Best ridden with The Essential Guide to Motorcycling in Norway, which this itinerary expands.
Disclaimer:
This is a summer route: the far north rides reliably from mid-June through August, and the two northern ferries should be booked first. The itinerary lists exactly which crossings and passes to check; check vegvesen.no for real-time road conditions before riding.
