Hi there,

This summer we'll be driving from Kristiansand – Ålesund and then back from Ålesund to Germany (probably back through Sweden). For our trip from Kristiansand – Ålesund, I found that there are multiple travel options. I've attached two examples to this post. One seems to be more of the coastal route with 4 ferries and a more in-land route with 2 ferries.

In this post, it seems to be suggested to take the more in-land route. Is that the case? Are there any (small) detours on the route that are worthwhile visiting as well?

Thanks so much! Looking forward to visit your beautiful country 🙂

  1. The coastal route is dead boring, the inland route but over RV7 and hardangervidda is brilliant!

  2. Kristiansand to Stavanger is not very exciting. So i would go with the second route, but add Bergen to that route. Add it after you have driven past ODDA and not before, it’s a beautiful road.
    (Edit) You could focus more on inland when driving down from Ålesund in South Eastern direction.

  3. Make sure to mark every gas station along the way that serves the traditional Norwegian “grøt”. Also known as graut locally.
