It is common knowledge that Norway is a very long country, but to experience how long it really is, once in your lifetime you should travel all the way to the top, preferably by motorcycle.
Our tour starts deep in the south of the country, in the unmissable Ålesund. From here we ride over the famous Trollstigen to Trondheim, the gateway to the north, and then further northwards; sometimes via the rugged coast, sometimes through the remote and isolated hinterland. We cross the Arctic Circle, an event which must of course be captured in a photo. We then ride the ferry to the Lofoten; a chain of barren, world-forgotten islands whose unspoiled beauty will remain in your memory for a long time. They are connected by bridges and tunnels and so we soon reach the mainland again. The further north we go, the longer the days get; the nights get shorter and finally disappear completely. One hardly gets tired as long as it’s bright outside, which comes in handy as some of our riding days are quite long. More and more the anticipation rises to the destination of the journey: the legendary North Cape, where every motorcyclist must visit once in their life.
As a reward for the long journey there is one final photo: you in front of the huge globe monument. A day later this fantastic tour ends in Tromsø.

This was my first trip with Edelweiss Bike Travel and I was sceptical because I prefer to ride alone. I have made many rides to Alaska, New Zealand and all over the USA by myself. So, I took a chance and signed up for the Adventure North Cape tour. What I discovered was that our group was small, with about 12 people from around the world. The trip was not just about the riding, but about the lasting friendships I still cherish. We had two awesome guides, Manuel and Michael, who worked very hard to make our time in Norway enjoyable. They explained in detail the day‘s events and what we were going to see. This just took all the stress out of the riding. This confirmed single rider is now a confirmed group rider and I have already scheduled my second ride with Edelweiss in August for the High Alpine Tour. And this time I will bring my wife.
The team of Edelweiss Bike Travel wants to say thank you to Scott Keimig for participating in our Adventure North Cape tour and for putting together such a great report about our tour in the April issue 2011 of BMW Owners News magazine.
