The fjord route<\/h1>\n\n\n

If you choose the fjord route, you can cycle shorter or longer stages. The fittest cyclists can complete the route in two days, while we recommend 4-6 days for those who prefer having an enjoyable time and experiencing things along the way. This route combines express boat and bike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
