We’ve been working hard behind the scenes to make sure everything is in place so you can live an experience of a lifetime in Stavanger and the legendary Fjords on the Western Coast of Norway. The Stavanger region offers an exceptional setting for this brand new Scandinavian adventure; a city nestled between the most beautiful Norwegian fjords, a deep rooted cycling culture, perfect roads and stunning climbs. You will discover some of the most beautiful and challenging terrain in Norway where roads with majestic switch-back climbs in amongst the Norwegian fjords – already an area of world class tourism. For the first two stages you will take a ferry across the Fjord to reach the start line, the perfect opportunity to enjoy the surroundings.

Lanterne Rouge
The Lanterne Rouge for the Maserati Haute Route Norway will be Helmer Berre and Anders Minge. Their role is to help the riders at the back of the peloton get over the finish line inside the time limit each day. You should view them as friends rather than a foe, as they will be there to encourage you, pace you, and push you even to help you get through the stage to the best of your ability. Whilst they are not the guarantor of the time limit, they are a great indicator of where you are situated and will do his best to help all the riders get over the finish line on time each day.
