The Haute Route series of multi-day sportive events is continuing its global expansion, with the announcement of the Maserati Haute Route Norway, due to take place from 2018.
Maserati Haute Route Norway will take place over three days, and like other events in the series will feature timed rides and full support. All of the rides will take place from a central location.
The new Scandinavian event will join those Haute Route events already taking place in the Alps, Pyrenees, Dolomites, Rockies, Alpe d'Huez and Mont Ventoux.

“Norway quickly became a front-runner as we reviewed possible locations for our next Haute Route adventure,” said Matt Holden, cycling strategic development director at Haute Route organiser OC Sport.
“Our riders will discover some of the most beautiful and challenging terrain in the world where roads with majestic switch-backs climbs in amongst the Norwegian fjords – already an area of world class tourism.”
The Haute Route events aim to treat amateur riders 'like pros', which includes mechanical and medical support, massages and post-ride meals - "the focus is exclusively on the riding".

Nigel Wynn worked as associate editor on CyclingWeekly.com, he worked almost single-handedly on the Cycling Weekly website in its early days. His passion for cycling, his writing and his creativity, as well as his hard work and dedication, were the original driving force behind the website’s success. Without him, CyclingWeekly.com would certainly not exist on the size and scale that it enjoys today. Nigel sadly passed away, following a brave battle with a cancer-related illness, in 2018. He was a highly valued colleague, and more importantly, n exceptional person to work with - his presence is sorely missed.
