Addressing specific dietary needs can vary in Norway. Vegetarian options are often available, but sourcing vegan meals may be more challenging in rural regions or smaller towns. It’s important to note that lunch stops usually occur at traditional restaurants, where accommodating special dietary requirements beyond their regular menu might be limited. Please consider this when planning your cycling tour in Norway.

The ideal cycling season in Norway spans from mid-May to mid-September. In higher elevations, such as mountainous areas, it’s advisable to schedule your cycling adventures from mid-June to August.

In Norway, tours can proceed in light rain with appropriate clothing. Summers may bring afternoon showers, so beginning your tours early is recommended. If adverse weather conditions are expected, we will make efforts to adjust the tour schedule accordingly.

On cycling trips, luggage transfer allows you to ride without carrying heavy bags. Each morning, you leave your luggage at the designated spot—often the hotel reception—and it’s transported to your next overnight stop. Your bags are usually waiting for you when you arrive. Weight limits and pickup times can vary slightly depending on the service provider.

My self-guided cycling holiday in Provence was everything I hoped for and more. The routes took me through stunning lavender fields, vineyards, and historic towns like Gordes and Roussillon. With the GPS and detailed route notes, navigating was effortless, and I enjoyed the freedom to linger at scenic spots or explore local markets. The accommodations were full of charm, and the seamless logistics made for a stress-free experience. Timotej and the team were always available to provide advice and ensure everything went perfectly. Cycling through Provence on my own terms was absolutely magical!
