Route Summary You drive longer distances in Norway without encountering a gas station or restaurant, keep this in mind before you drive. Make sure your tank is full and bring food and drinks. Bring a few bottles of water or Camel bag and fill it up when you stop to refuel. A number of breaks have been planned along the way for refueling, eating and drinking.
You have the choice to spend the night at campsites or in hotels. Hotel prices in Norway are not particularly high and breakfast is usually included. Camping is free almost everywhere, except on private property or where camping is prohibited, indicated by prohibition signs. If you don't want to camp, there are often cabins for rent on the campsites. For a trip through Norway it is always advisable to bring a tent and other camping gear.
I rate this route with 4 **** stars because of the beautiful roads, beautiful nature and some beautiful places to stop.

RouteXpert Review We leave the town and drive to Sandvika where we take the E16 to the North, on the left side we have an occasional view of the beautiful Tyrifjord. At RP4 we can alternatively take the coastal road Fv155, which winds along the coast of the Tyrifjord.
After about an hour's drive, there is an opportunity to stop at RP6 for a cup of coffee with a sandwich and enjoy the view of the Tyrifjord.
We drive on and follow the course of the river Ådalselva that flows into the lake Sperillen (RP9). Sperillen is a lake in the Norwegian province of Viken. It is located in the Ådal in the municipality of Ringerike and is Norway's 33rd largest lake with an area of approximately 37 km². The lake is 123 meters at its deepest point and it is 150 meters above sea level. While driving along the lake you can enjoy the beautiful panorama.
Lunch is scheduled at Valdresporten Cafeteria (RP10). After this stop we continue along the river Begna further to the North, a beautiful road through the rolling green landscape with its characteristic red wooden houses.
In Bagn (RP11) you can either go straight through the tunnel (4.5km) to gain time, it is better to follow this beautiful route to take the nicer E16-Valdresvegen. Adventure Bike riders can then turn left at RP12 onto Reinlivegen to the next Restaurant (RP15), parts of this road are unpaved, so not suitable for road bikes.
At RP14 you have a nice view of the Strondafjorden, this is a lake that is located in the municipality of Nord-Aurdal and Vestre Slidre in the province of Innlandet, Norway. The lake is part of the Begna basin. The northwestern end of the lake is traversed by the Ulnes Bridge. It has an area of 13.24 km² and is 46.01 km around. It is located at an altitude of 355 m above sea level.
At RP15 we stop to refuel and here is also the opportunity to have a drink and eat at The Scandinavian Restaurant “Fagernes Gjestegård” across the street from the gas station. Other options for something to eat are also in the towns of Beitostølen (RP20) about 30km, Lom (RP24) about 140km or at Grotli Høyfjellshotel (RP25) about 200km.
At RP26 we turn right to drive to Dalsnibba (RP27), the highest European fjord view and the Geiranger Skywalk. It is about 1500m drive from the route and well worth a visit. The view is truly spectacular. Here we have a beautiful view over the snow-capped mountains and the Geirangerfjord, part of the West Norwegian fjords that are a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The way up is open from May to October. Opening times may vary slightly depending on weather conditions. Here you have to pay toll. Those who want to skip this part of the route can continue to the end point.
The end of the journey is in Geiranger, where there are several campsites and hotels to stay overnight. But before we arrive here we are treated to a beautiful mountain road (Fv63) with lovely hairpin bends and a nice viewpoint at RP29, Stop to admire the view of the Flydalsjuvet viewpoint. Flydalsjuvet offers an impressive view and is an excellent point to take beautiful pictures of Geiranger and the Geirangerfjorden with the many cruise boats.

Route Collections in this region The Top 5 Car and Motorcycle Routes around the Norwegian Fjords
Norway, who doesn't want to go there by motorbike or by car (camper)? Norway, officially the Kingdom of Norway, is a country in Northern Europe. Norway is located on the western part of the Scandinavian Peninsula and borders Sweden, Finland and Russia.
Go to Norway, forget it! You don't go to Norway for a while, take at least 14 days to take in all the beauty of Norway. The 5 routes along Norway's most famous fjords can be the start of an unforgettable holiday. When it comes to natural beauty, Norway is certainly in the top ten of most desirable holiday countries. Fjords, snow-capped peaks, mirrored lakes: every square meter is a treat.
Some of the ANWB's Top 10 tips are included in these 5 routes, such as:
Preikestolen
Hint: Don't be afraid of heights when you visit Norway's most popular vantage point. Preikestolen is a super steep rock that towers 604 meters above the Lysefjord. In fact, you get two for the price of one, as the four-kilometer hike to the lookout is just as phenomenal. Preikestolen is even Norway's most popular hiking destination.
fjords
They are considered one of the world's most beautiful natural wonders: the imposing Norwegian fjords. Millions of years ago, they were eroded by huge masses of ice. It is an unforgettable experience to sail on a ship between the steep rock walls, but you can also admire the fjords from various vantage points. Spectacular include Geirangerfjord, Trollfjord, Sognefjord and Hardangerfjord. Certainly one of the most beautiful sights in Norway.
Trollstigen
The Trollstigen, also known as the Troll route, has what you would call the wow factor. On the 20 kilometer route you will experience no fewer than 11 hairpin bends; the average increase is 8 percent with a maximum of 10 percent. So a pill against motion sickness won't hurt… On the way it's a feast of waterfalls, steep mountain walls and fjords. Bonus: the beautiful view of the Geirangerfjord.

Top Car and Motorcycle tour through Sweden and Norway
Sweden and Norway are beautiful countries. You will find nice cities, but also impressive nature reserves. This versatility makes Sweden & Norway the perfect countries for an impressive motorcycle holiday.
In this collection 14 beautiful routes through Sweden & Norway.
Good preparation is half the battle, so read the tips below carefully.
1. Check the weather forecast. It can be very hot in Sweden & Norway, but it can also get very cold. Always check the weather forecast before you go, so that you can pack the right clothes.
2. Decide in advance which route or routes you want to follow. This way you don't drive around like a headless chicken and you can make the most of your days off in these beautiful countries.
3. Familiarize yourself with the traffic rules. In Sweden & Norway, in some situations, slightly different rules apply than in the Netherlands. By immersing yourself in the traffic rules, you prevent (unknowingly) committing a traffic violation and/or putting yourself in a dangerous situation.
It is also wise to book the accommodations in advance. It might be more fun to drive through these countries on spec, but you don't want to drive around endlessly to find a place to sleep. If you go to Sweden or Norway during the high season, the chance that you will have to look for a place to sleep is greatest. It is also possible to camp during your motorcycle trip, but find out in advance where this is and is not allowed. You are not allowed to pitch your tent everywhere.
As the largest country in Scandinavia, you can enjoy extensive tours in a unique environment. Forests, lakes, nature parks and agricultural areas largely determine the landscape, which also consists of flat areas and rolling hills. Around the Swedish-Norwegian border is the Scandinavian Highlands, where the mountains rise locally to 2100 meters.
Norway is known for its amazing natural beauty. Fjords that go into the country tens of kilometers deep, snow-covered plateaus, sharp mountain peaks and vast forests. In this sparsely populated country, most people live in the cities, of which the capital Oslo is the largest.
Tolls have to be paid on a large number of roads in Norway. If you approach a toll road, you can continue without stopping. With cameras above the road, the license plate of the vehicle is scanned, not the registration number of the trailer or caravan. It takes quite some time to process the photos.
The bill is then sent home within four to six months by Euro Parking Collection (EPC) in London.
Mandatory on the motorcycle: Safety vest - A motorcyclist must bring at least one safety vest. In the event of a breakdown or accident, the driver is obliged to wear a safety vest. The ANWB advises motorcyclists to also bring a safety vest for a possible passenger.
Advice: First aid kit, motorcyclists are advised to bring a first aid kit.
