100 % Gravel Adventure

Head north to Norway, where nature speaks loudest through stillness and scale. Between majestic fjords, boreal forests, and suspended valleys, this destination offers a one-of-a-kind gravel playground. Set off to explore the Nordmarka, a vast wild territory right on Oslo’s doorstep, and reconnect with what truly matters.

From our base camp perched above the capital, with breathtaking views over the Oslofjord, every ride becomes a true Scandinavian escape: forest trails, breaks around the fire, or moments in a traditional sauna. Welcome to our Nordic getaway.

✨ The team’s favorite: the breathtaking views of the fjords and the hamlets with their red Norwegian wooden houses.

Whether you’re a gravel enthusiast, a fan of active getaways, or simply looking for a nature escape in the fresh air, this long weekend cycling trip is an invitation to discover the richness of this region.

Five excellent days in Norway. Great map: 5 routes perfectly suited to discovering Norway as a family (we were with our children aged 9, 12 and 14). Great gear: muscle bikes or e-bikes so everyone could enjoy the ride without waiting for one another. Great team: everything flowed smoothly and with good vibes. Great catering: quality hotels and food supplies! It’s beyond just cycling 😉. Bravo GravelUp

I adore GravelUp, simply put. To date, I've had three trips with them, all fantastic client experiences and great places to ride. I will be back for more. Well-thought-out routes, caring and attentive managers and guides, great food, and all about the joy of the sport instead of just watts. Highly recommended!

End of a top 4-day weekend in Oslo. Wonderful group and atmosphere. Sublime trails, picture-postcard scenery. 4 outings, each more varied and beautiful than the last. Excellent organization by Olivier and Monica. Long live Gravel Up, it was the first time for me but I've become yet another fan. See you soon (maybe in the Vosges for my VGS badge).

Back from the 4 days trip in Norway. What an experience! I cannot recommend it enough: amazing rides through a mind-blowing nature, flawless organization, top-notch bikes, great company… I particularly enjoyed the extras: swimming in the fjords, sauna in Olso…

Your adventure, day by day.

Stages, landscapes, highlights: discover the program that awaits you. This itinerary may be adjusted depending on weather or logistics, to ensure the best possible experience.

Norway Adventurer GravelUp - Day 0

Day 0 – Welcome to Norway ~ 25km / 560M+ (optional)

We’ll meet you in Oslo, where we’ll pick you up at the train station or airport around 5 PM, then head to our basecamp perched above the fjord, where the view sets the tone. Time to settle in, get to know the crew... In the evening, we’ll gather for our first Scandinavian dinner, and ease fully into the vibe of the adventure ahead.

Norway Adventurer GravelUp - Day 1

Day 1 – Into the Nordmarka 60km / 1000M+

Boreal forests, red hamlets, and tranquil lakes – welcome to your Nordic playground. Today’s scenic loop takes you through shifting landscapes, where every pedal stroke both calms and invigorates. We’ll pause for lunch in a hidden, untouched spot, before cruising back to camp for a well-earned apéro, followed by a dinner full of local flavors.

Norway Adventurer GravelUp - Day 2

Day 2 – Hidden fjords & suspended moments ~ 70km / 820M+

Welcome to postcard-perfect scenery. We’ll ride along the edge of fjords, weave through deep forests, and pause for lunch on a wooden deck, eyes fixed on the water… And why not a refreshing dip for the bravest?

Then it’s back toward Oslo, just in time for the quintessential Norwegian ritual: a sauna by the fjord, invigorating dips, and moments to share.

A festive dinner in the heart of the capital brings this magical day to a close, with a stunning view of the Oslo Opera House, whose architecture evokes an iceberg.

Norway Adventurer GravelUp - Day 3

Day 3 – One last ride, just for the view ~ 58km / 930M+

A mellow farewell spin to soak up the peace of the Scandinavian landscape one last time. Forest trails, golden light, and a final glance at nature’s quiet power. After a shared farewell lunch, we’ll drive you back to Oslo’s train station or airport around 5 PM. With a light heart and an open mind. Takk Norge.

Fancy a Private Trip?

Ride with your favorite people - we’ll handle the rest.
