Family summer vacation 2021. In our family, summer vacation means packing the tent and heading outdoors. This year, we wanted to go to the mountains. The question was just how to get there. With the Delta variant of the COVID-19 virus spreading rapidly through Norway, public transport didn’t really tempt us.
Living without a car, we would have to get there under our own steam. Our goal simply became to ride to the mountains with our dog while avoiding high-traffic roads as best we could. Things went rather smoothly half way around our loop, but then our luck seemed to have come to an end.
Filmed with Fujifilm XT-3 and Fujifilm XC 15-45mm f/3.5-5.6 OIS PZ.
All photos except for the packrafting images were captured with Fujifilm X-pro1 and the XF18 f/2 lens.

👍🇮🇳
Best way to spend a holiday! Thanks for the video.
That was wonderful! I’m very interested in taking a cycling trip of Norway, Finland, possibly Lapland and some of Sweden. I’m planning a coast to coast ride in the US first. I have a question about you riding In hiking 🥾 boots. Aren’t they heavy and do they rub your ankles? I plan to ride in regular bike shoes not made for cleats because they are made stiff on the bottoms and mountain pedals with the small spindles for gripping. My US trip will be nearly 100% on paved roads using the Adventure cycle cross continent trail. Thanks for sharing. Norway is beautiful. I’ve always been interested and was recently surprised by a DNA 🧬 profile showing Norwegian heritage. I think I’m a biking Viking now 😊. 👍☮️🚴♀️🚵♀️🚵♂️🏕🐾❤️
This was both a great and inspiring video ! As a Fujifilm user too, I was in love with the colors !
Mikkel, with wife, kids and dog cycle touring in that fantastic Norway scenery you are living as close to a nirvana state as I could imagine! What fantastic views! Any place you have an edited route you took on here?
Such a shame that those new villages are spoiling such an idyllic countryside.
That was great, really enjoyed following along with you and your family-thanks
Another beautifully filmed and edited video.
Your narration, as usual, is top class.
Thanks very much for that 👍
