Explore the beauty of Norway’s coast on an exciting bike tour through Sunnhordland, the archipelago south of Bergen. This adventurous journey offers a perfect blend of natural experiences, cultural immersion, and gastronomic delights. Several ferry and boat trips along the route provide varied experiences, and we offer you tips for side trips and attractions along the way.
The journey begins in the World Heritage City of Bergen, and then an express boat takes you to Sunde, followed by a 31-km cycle ride to Rosendal. From Rosendal, you’ll cycle along the fjord’s edge towards Tysnes Island, passing charming coastal villages and spending the night at the historic Haaheim Gaard, where you’ll savor local and seasonal dishes. After pedaling through picturesque coastal villages, you’ll arrive in Stord, where you can relax in the hotel’s new wellness area. You’ll ride along coastal roads, enjoying panoramic views of the Norwegian archipelago before reaching the lively harbor of Bekkjarvik, where you’ll stay at a family-run inn with award-winning chefs creating an extraordinary dining experience.
The journey concludes in Bergen after another boat trip. The Sunnhordland bike tour is the ultimate way to explore the stunning nature, rich culture, and exquisite cuisine of this beautiful region. Sunnhordland proudly holds the status of a sustainable destination with a commitment to environmentally responsible development, the preservation of its unique culture, support for the local community, and ensuring your well-being throughout the journey.

You can also visit the Folgefonn Centre, to learn about the Folgefonna National Park, the Hardangerfjord area and the environment in general. Accommodation and dinner at Rosendal Fjordhotel.
The first cycling stage to Årsnes (10 km) is quite tough. From Rosendal, you will see some traffic. The road runs through lush farmlands, with lovely views of the Hardangerfjord.
