Norway

Norway is without a doubt the most amazing Scandinavian country. Mountains, sea, snow and fjords...nobody will resist to its nature beauty. The welcoming and respectful behaviour of its inhabitants will make you forget a sometimes disturbing weather and high prices. In one word, go there, it's a paradise for motorcycle riders.

  Motorcycling in Norway

Roads interest

Curves, curves and once again curves...in a forest, near a lake, along a fjord or in mountains...It's like a dream.

Road surface quality

Just like in mountain roads in the Alps, roads suffer from winter. General quality in good, road signs are everywhere and accurate. Be careful, sometimes secondary roads are gravelled.

Landscapes

The most beautiful European country, and maybe, with a certain point of view, in the world (concurrencing New Zealand). Everything remains intact.

General atmosphere / safety

It's relaxing, people are respectful. If tou are used to put three lockers on your bike and take your tank bag with you, just forget it and relax.

Car drivers behaviour

Calm and respectful. Act the same way and you'll enjoy your ride.

Speed controls

Excepted around big cities, I did not notice some . Ride carefully and there won't be any problem.

If your are from European union, passport or identity card are enough.

  • 1 L of fuel : 1.50 E
  • 1 night in camping : 12 E (tent), 30 E (cottage)
  • 1 nuit d'hotel : from 90 E

Negative point of the country...it's really expensive.

Michelin n°711

Fantastic place. A must see once in a lifetime destination. Wonderfully friendly people and the most beautiful sights in the world. Rent cabins in camp grounds and bring your own sheets and towels to save money. A small camping stove is useful too.
