Norway Bike Tour

Overview

The DuVine Norway Bike Tour explores the dramatic scenery of the Sunnmøre region, including Norway’s humbling fjords and inspiring mountains. It offers purposeful culinary experiences with locals, such as an intimate fjordside lunch with a pioneering local winemaker, tasting homemade cheese and fresh cider alongside 9th-generation family farmers, and enjoying a beer at a friend's home. Accommodations include two luxurious hotels: a cabin-inspired forest retreat and a historic manor in a fjord hamlet. A unique experience includes seeing the UNESCO-listed West Norwegian Fjords from a different perspective on a private boat ride across the Storfjorden. The tour features fresh-caught seafood, warm and comforting stews, artisanal goat and cow’s milk cheeses, foraged mushrooms, wild berries, and local root vegetables. Drinks include craft beer and farmhouse ale from local microbreweries, cider from Hardanger, and Akvavit. The itinerary includes cycling through dramatic scenery, including fjords and mountain switchbacks.
