There are valleys and then there are Norwegian valleys. You won't find many countries in the world with so many incredible valleys to cycle down. In this video we focus on what I like to call 'natural corridors'. These valleys slice through a mountain range like Moses opening up the Red Sea. They're usually pretty flat and a great way to get through a mountainous region without requiring big climbs. This is my top five.

Visitnorway owes you big time!

@matthewnorway 2 года назад

Glad you think so!

@peatdeloosha2463 Месяц назад

To call these videos to me is insulting. These are stories of serenity packed with information, research, knowledge and hard work. Your an asset to Norway thru and thru !

@tonypaddler 2 года назад

If ever you fancy a change of job I’m sure that the Norwegian tourist board will be more than willing to take you on! Not only do I greatly appreciate your videos, but I also appreciate the effort that you put into your narrative. Another great video, cheers 👍

@matthewnorway 2 года назад

Thanks Tony, the narration takes the longest time. There is usually three or four drafts before I'm satisfied. So good to hear!

@ohwell2790 2 года назад

Unlike most videos on U-tube that are filled with the makers face most of the time, yours show the scenery most of the time and with a lot of information. Thanks for that.

This is actually sooo amazing! I'm a norwegian bikepacker, having studied the maps for hours and days, but still I learn so much from your videos! Love the small historical facts and folktales! Keep it up man!

@matthewnorway 2 года назад

Great to hear, so much to discover in this country!

@WheelsonaBike 2 года назад

Absolutely stunning. My favourite episode from the series. Breathtaking scenery. Favourite quote "If you don't feel the connection with nature here, you should seek medical assistance". 😂😂😂

@matthewnorway 2 года назад

Great to hear! A lot of research on this one :)

@knutmarthinussen7405 5 месяцев назад

This is SO good that it should have been broadcast on TV. You deserve a lot more viewers,

@HelgeKS 2 года назад

Can't argue with no. 1, and the fact that it leads to Norway's most spectacular fjord, Hjørundfjorden, makes it even more incredible! I would add INNERDALEN to the list myself.

@larsmunch4536 Год назад

Yes, Innerdalen is extremely beautiful, but the context in this video is, that the valley should be a natural corridor, leading to somewhere. In Innerdalen, you can ride some way in on a road bike, somewhat further on a gravel bike and even further on a mountain bike, but anyway you have to turn around and ride the same way out again.

mind blowing to me that this hasnt hit the algorithms but i guess the only explanation is that Norway isnt that popular wich is a shame. great video Matthew!

@wernerbraun8547 2 года назад

Thank you for the ideas for my next trip up there. Although I travel on my motorbike the roads we both share and enjoy. Last year I traveled from Oslo to Nordkapp by the the eastern roads and back down through fjords on the west. Next summer I will return and definitely I will not miss these valleys. Norway is really beautiful.

@olehammersland9652 2 года назад

Just wanted to say thanks for your excellent videos on bikepacking in Norway. You've definitely inspired me to try a bikepacking trip next summer. It's really useful to see someone actually showing what to expect from different areas here in Norway! I already look forward to venturing out beyond the Asker/Lillestrøm/Ås triangle. Will recommend your channel to other cyclists here in Oslo :) Cheers!

@matthewnorway 2 года назад

So great to hear that Ole! Good luck with your first bikepacking trip next year.

One of the best tourist destination and like to visit such places. Great video

@eivindkaisen6838 2 года назад

Small quibble: the "sunn" in "sunnford" is not the modern word sunn = healthy but a der1bation of the Old Norse suðr = southern.(And can be found in the name of the nothrn Scottish region Sutherland, which lies south of the Old Norse posessiond of Orkneys and Shetland.)

@matthewnorway 2 года назад

Thanks for the insight! Good to know!

@TheHighlander2007 2 года назад

Got to agree with your choice for number one. Cycled down it last year, not knowing what to expect. Jaw dropping!

@zywb Год назад

Wow - thanks for this incredible, beautiful compilation - I can't imagine how much work you put into it. Can these roads be ridden on a road bike or is a gravel bike needed? I'm starting to plan a trip!

@johnnyolsen4427 2 года назад

I just love your viedos Matthew. I have been riding them all except Takledalen and I love that you have made such a good film about them. I wanna go back:-) Thanks for your excellent videos:-)

I've spent many summers at number 4. There are some quite nice giant's kettles on the north side, closeish to the bridge.

Hi I love your Channel. Just a correction though, Sunndalen does not mean the healthy valley, but it means the southern valley.

@Biking360 2 года назад

The more I see of Norway, most of it on your channel, the more I know it's a place I have ot visit and have to spend a significant amount of time cycling through. A brilliant video and brilliant narration... as always. Does Norway actually have any crap unscenic roads???

@matthewnorway 2 года назад

It can get a bit boring cycling through the large forests areas on the east side and around the cities and towns. But once on the open road its eye candy in most areas. Sometimes you can go days without one unscenic road!

@Biking360 2 года назад

@sespela 2 года назад

Sunndalen is actually more like the Southern valley. Great video however! :)

I thought the direct translation didn't sound right. Thanks for the info 🙏

@richiangriff 2 года назад

Another corker, every time I watch your videos my Google Maps 'places to go in Norway' list gets peppered with more pins. Some will be visited next July though, my Senja trip is in the planning stage and the first and last nights in Tromso are booked. I'm therefore particularly looking forward to your next installment. Will probably find they are all in Lofoten :-)

@matthewnorway 2 года назад

Sounds great that you have already booked accommodation in Tromsø. The North is such a special place to cycle. Excited for you!

@veteranvlogger_swarnajit 2 года назад

Excellent road for Bike riding or Cycling. I like both. Activities on such road would be an exceptional. I liked and Subscribed your Channel for more videos in future. New Subscriber from India.

@k.b.k.opsahl1493 Год назад

What about Lodalen, especially by Lovatnet to Kjenndalen? This is the most beautiful valley for me in the world.

@matthewnorway Год назад

I agree Lovatnet and Kjenndalen are incredible! However, the valleys in this series are ones you can cycle through without turning around. I call them 'natural corridors'.

@akselgrkr 2 года назад

Kuult🤩 har du vært i Saltdalen og i Glomfjord? +Beiarn?

@matthewnorway 2 года назад

No never been to either. I cycled the RV17 up the coast so was close to Glomfjord. It was a bit tricky to get to with the tunnels so I skipped it. But I will try to ride that road next time.

@pandabearguy1 2 года назад

I would assume "Sunndalen" refers to "The South valley" as a native speaker, but I could be wrong. "Sunn" is an old way of saying south. I know atleast that "Sunndalen" means "The South v" or "Valley to the South", and similarly "Sunnfjord" means "South Fjord" etc.

@matthewnorway 2 года назад

You're right, I appreciate people correcting me as I learn more about Norway 🙏 Cheers :)

@larsmunch4536 Год назад

Yes, Sunndalen can mean healthy valley, but it can also mean southern valley, which I find more likely.

How much hard work to get to these places.

Some are pretty simple to reach by train other you'll need to cycle 100-200km to reach.

@@matthewnorway Have you thought about putting some route guides together somewhere. You have done such a good job to whet our appetites for a trip to Noway, but I am very nervous about my ability to climb some of those passes.
