TRIP OVERVIEW:
Choose from one of three adventure motorcycling tours - coast, fjord or mountain - starting and concluding from our base in Bergen. You can expect to ride between 250-300 kms a day on sublime main roads, little-known back-roads and a selection of fine gravel trails. The Norsebound routes will include some of the major sites already familiar to you, both geographicaly and architecturally, but also give you a glimpse of the Norway most people don't see. Each day's riding will culminate in accommodation specifically chosen to reflect the tour and give the riding group a taste of Norwegian life. Regardless of which tour you choose, rest assured that features from the other tours will be incorporated. For example, should you want to ride the coastal tour, fjords and mountains will always feature; the emphasis is simply on the coastal zone.
