2.Geiranger Fjord: Downhill Self-Guided Bike Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 30 reviews · 3 hours · from $156

Meet in Geiranger, collect your bike and safety gear, then ride from Djupvatnet Lake at 1,030 meters above sea level down toward the fjord. You set the pace on this self-guided route, with time for Flydalsjuvet photos. Expect traffic, changing weather, and a road ride, not a mountain-bike trail.

“It's not really mountain biking as you drive down from the pass on the main road with all the camping vans and big tour busses. So you have to be careful and stop all the time as the road is very busy during the peak season. Unfortunately there is no dedicated mountain bike trail.”

7.Bike tour – Kotor Bay circle and visit Our Lady of the Rock

Ride a scenic 5-hour loop from Kotor with guide Ivana, stopping at old churches, the Kamenari ferry, Perast, and Our Lady of the Rocks. Bikes, helmets, snacks, water, ferry fees, and a local drink are included. Good fitness and confidence in traffic are important.

“We really enjoyed the tour, the places visited and our guide was very helpful and knowledgeable. I did, however, find it difficult to get on and off a bike with a crossbar (normally for men) as I am not very tall and had to tilt the bike almost to the floor to mount and dismount. The roads can be very busy, which can be scary at times, but there are many places where you can use tracks at a lower level to avoid hills and the traffic too.”
