Autumn

In the autumn the air is clear and the fjord is dressed in beautiful autumn colors – the best time of the year for hiking and cycling. 

By bike around the Sognefjord

Some of the finest cycling routes in Norway are located along the Sognefjord where you can cycle The Romantic Road along the Lustrafjord, rent an e-bike and discover the UNESCO Urnes Stave Church or experience the world-famous Rallarvegen between Flåm and Myrdal. Here you will find your cycling adventure in the Sognefjord
