Newly Launched: ULTION PRIVÉ by Sandgrouse Travel & Expeditions. Scotland’s Ultimate Sporting Journeys
6-NIGHTS 7-DAYS, NORWAY'S TOP ROADS, DISCOVER THE FJORDS WITH SUBLIME CLIMBS AND DREAMY DESCENTS, UNIQUE ACCOMMODATION, LOCAL SEAFOOD, SUPPORTED RIDES, 24 HOURS DAYLIGHT
Sail into a mythical landscape, the heart of the Norwegian fjords on a stunning converted Swedish Navy minesweeper, one of only three ever made. The beautiful old wooden ship is your home for the week, each day she will drop you off, fjordside and before you know it you will be peddling along the world's most stunning roads.
Our one-of-a-kind road cycling adventure takes you, the riders, from one mind blowing location to the next. You will be riding through staggering landscapes on empty, sweeping roads without the crowds or traffic of Europe. Hard to imagine but the roads you are set to ride seem as if plucked from hedonistic dreams. Road Highlights include The Atlantic Road with the famous island hopping bridges, Isfjorden, Trollstigan (the "Troll staircase" to rival even the Stelvio), Geiranger Fjord, Hellesylt and Hjørundford.
Each day you will spend cycling through the most beautiful and inspiring scenery to be found anywhere on earth. For peace of mind we have arranged for a support vehicle to follow you on all 'stages'. On your rides, you will stop for lunches at local points of interest and visit traditional farms where you will have the chance to sample favourite Norwegian foods.
It’s hard to imagine the ultimate way to finish off a day in cycling heaven, but we believe sitting back on the wooden deck of the ship whilst taking in the beauty of the mighty Norwegian fjords with a cool drink is certainly one way! Gather round as a group before dining on local Norwegian seafood delights, caught that very day!
N.B. Maximum of 8-riders per group. Sharing twin berth cabins.
Dates: Weeks commencing 19th August 2018 to 23rd September 2018.
