i did a driving road trip last summer:
oslo-
voss (of expensive mineral water fame)-
sognefjord (stunning fjord)-
Alesund (nice small town)-
Trondheim (super cool university town) -
Lofoten islands (incredibly beautiful jagged mountains coming out of the sea)-
oslo
Lofoten
lofoten
really beautiful country. there were plenty of people cycle touring in the southern bits around the sognfjord and the glaciers by Voss. You could do days and days of climbing though...
They only have single track roads really, and big road-train type lorries going quite fast, but you could probably avoid the a roads.
It was mountainous south, then quite rolling and flat ish into the arctic circle, then mountainous again.
quite expensive food etc. I am fairly sure they don't have the same camping rules as sweden (i think you cannot camp anywhere you like) but they do have hundreds and hundreds of road-side camp grounds, which all have ncie wooden cabins with grass roofs. you have to take pans/pots/food etc but they have beds/fridges/cookers and can be had for maybe £15/person/night depending on which area you're in....
I definitely want to go back and take my bike. i also want to do the north sea circular route...
