Biking terrain consists of well-paved roads and bike paths. Most roads have little traffic but can feel narrow when cars pass. Some bike path sections parallel busier roads, while others diverge and are not accessible to the support van.
Hiking terrain includes trails that can be rocky, steep and sometimes slippery—at times requiring the use of your hands.
Kid-friendly routes are shorter but hilly, and alternate kids’ activities are available on days with longer rides. Some sections are on roads with traffic and minimal shoulders, so kids should be comfortable riding with cars.

We want to make sure you're on the trip that's right for you. Every Backroads trip is unique and this one is no exception.
The remote hotels on this trip offer proximity to our favorite hikes and fantastic views. Guest rooms are clean and comfortable but simpler than the typical Backroads standard. Also, due to the remote locations of our properties, dinners on this trip tend to be a set or limited-choice menu. Dietary restrictions can be honored, but options for special dietary requests are limited.
The combination of Norway’s many waterfalls, steep mountains, vibrant green landscapes, warm ocean currents and deep fjords makes this country unlike any other. Norway’s climate can be as surprising as its terrain, with weather patterns and microclimates that may bring sun, wind, fog, sleet and rain in the same day (or hour!). Or it could rain all day, every day. Please be sure to bring warm layers and waterproof gear for each day of the trip. In addition, the fluctuating weather may result in ferry or mid-trip itinerary changes, but your Backroads Leaders are always prepared to make necessary adjustments to ensure a great trip while keeping safety the top priority.
