The Norwegian e31 club has planned a 5 day west coast tour of Norway starting August 3rd.
The journey starts in Stavanger and end in Kristiansund.
The tour will take 5 days which includes 4-8 hours of driving each day.
Below is a list of the dates, the planned route and an estimated cost.
We have limited this to 25 cars for practical reasons and hotel capacity.
The estimated price for all hotels, breakfasts and dinners is 7.400 NOK (approx. €850).
This price is for each person in a room, and will include almost every meal except lunch when we are on the road.
for single room it will be about 150€ extra.
This has to be pre-paid May 1st due to reservations and cancellations at the hotels.
In addition to this there will be some ferries, toll roads and fuel.
If you need more info just ask.
Due to several factors we have limited this tour to 25 cars, and there are a limited number of available places already, so if you want to go, you have to decide quick.
Best regards.
Club E31 Norway.

Day 1.
The tour starts in Stavanger on Monday 3rd of August 08:00, you need to get there yourself, from Europe the easiest way is to take the Fjordline ferry from Denmark directly to Stavanger where you will arrive in the morning where we will be waiting at the terminal for you.
This day will include an estimated 6,5 hour drive to Fleischers Hotel in the city of Voss including ferries.
We are taking the scenic route and will stop at some nice sights and at some stage we will stop for lunch (not yet planned).
Arrival time at the hotel is not determined, but we will have dinner when we arrive, Fleischers hotel is an old classic hotel part of the Norwegian Historical hotel association.

When we return we will at some time drive to our next hotel which is Kviknes hotel in the Sognefjord, and depending on the weather we may drive through the 24.5km Lerdals tunnel, or across a very nice mountain pass.
If some people really want to drive the tunnel, we can split the group
At the hotel we will have dinner.
