Route Summary The roads in Norway are good to very good, the gravel roads themselves are well maintained and can therefore be driven very well with any type of motorcycle. You hardly have to pay toll anywhere for motorcycles. Note that you have to pay toll on a few passes, a credit card is therefore a must if you go to Norway. It can also happen that roads / passes are closed in the summer due to snowfall, we have experienced this on July 4, 2019, the road to Dalsnibba was closed due to snowfall.
In these routes I have assumed overnight stays at holiday parks or campsites, where you can spend the night without a reservation outside the high season, if you go during the high season, it is advisable to book in advance.

RouteXpert Review The fjords are surrounded by majestic cliffs and have beautiful blue water, but make no mistake: the water is just salty. That is no wonder if you know that fjords are actually long sea arms that often stretch far inland. Sometimes you see huge waterfalls along the meter-high mountain walls - created on the almost invisible glaciers.
A wild fjord with high mountain tops and various rugged landscapes. That characterizes the 42-kilometer-long Lysefjord. This fjord is best known for the Preikestolen - 'the Pulpit Chair' - and the phenomenal view from this point. The experience of experiencing the Pulpit from above is legendary.
The Lysefjord is behind you when you take the first step on the wooden staircase with 4444 steps. You climb about 740 meters in less than 2 hours. The world's longest wooden staircase can crack and squeak, but is extremely stable.
This is just 1 of the many walks you will find at the Lysefjord. The annual Lysefjorden walking festival takes place in September. Preikestolen (the Pulpit) is one of the world's most famous vantage points, a square mountain plateau measuring 25 by 25 meters with a view of the fjord.
A little further you will find Kjerag, with the famous 'Kjeragbolten', a large stone that is stuck between the plateau. And of course the 27 hairpin bends of the steep Øygardstøl are in this route.
This 5 star rated route, through a dazzling nature, takes you along beautiful roads, along fantastic viewpoints. A memory that you will remember for a long time.
This route has the end point in Tjørhom, from where you can start the return journey home.
