Maybe one of the most beautiful road between east and west

This long distance cycle route includes several spectacular sections – such as the Telemark Canal, the Suleskar Road over the mountain and the spectacular Lysebotn with the boat trip on Lyse Fjord – passing underneath Prekestolen. It´s one of our absolute favorite!

We have divided the trip into suggested daily distances which will allow time for exploring attractions along the way. The mountain over Suleskar is closed during winter and is usually open from around 21st of May to end October, but variations may occur due to weather and snow. Check info about Mountain Passes at Statens Vegvesen.
