Ciao a tutti,
(testo modificato con AI, perché l’inglese non è la mia lingua madre)
quest’estate (da giugno a luglio) partiremo per un viaggio di 4 settimane dalla Svizzera alla Norvegia e alla Svezia e stiamo cercando alcuni buoni consigli lungo il percorso.
Viaggiamo in coppia sui trent’anni con il nostro bambino di 6 mesi e il nostro pastore tedesco, quindi stiamo cercando di mantenere le cose piuttosto rilassate. Soggiorneremo più notti negli stessi posti e da lì faremo gite di un giorno. Siamo molto più interessati alla natura, ai luoghi tranquilli e al buon cibo locale che alle città o alle affollate attrazioni turistiche.
Arriviamo con il traghetto a Kristiansand – Åseral – Bokn (zona Stavanger) – Hardangerfjord (Ringøy) – Valdres (Sør-Aurdal) – Svezia (Lago Vänern/Sunnersberg) – ritorno in Svizzera
Qualcuno ha qualcosa da vedere per noi? o alcune cose che dovrebbero essere evitate (non caghiamo nei giardini delle persone e teniamo il cane al guinzaglio)
Grazie ragazzi in anticipo

you can just have bad grammar in your second language. that’s normal and forgivable. you don’t have to use AI about it.
You’re really gonna skip out on Bergen? It’s like 1hour extra drive and is one of the most beautiful cities in Norway
Hmm, it’s shaped like africa
Id definitely include Bergen when youre that close.
Looks great!
The Trollpikken hike is very fun and has a unique story, quite relaxed and doable with a baby and a dog
missing out on norways best nature by not going to the far north. West coast is a good compromise tho;)
Is it really a worthy road trip if you dont shit in anyone’s garden?
So some research on bringing a dog. I believe there’s a quarantine for dogs going in and out of Norway, but I don’t have a dog myself at the moment, so rules might have changed.
You will have a good amount of time on the coast, but as you will be close by in the south, perhaps go visit the southernmost part of Norway – Lindesnes. The area is very nice and not a hige detour between Åseral and Kristiansand.
When driving from Åseral to Bokn, take «nordsjøvegen» from Egersund to Kleppe, to have a beautiful seaside scenery. I also recommend to stop by one of the beaches, Bore beach for example. I recommend stopping and staying overnight somewhere along this route so the travel days doesn’t become too long. Stay in or by Egersund for example, its a cozy town, and hike «trollpikken».
When staying in Åseral, take a day trip to the coast! I recommend Lindesnes fyr(lighthouse), and visit one of the towns.
You are driving by Hvaler.
I think Hvaler is the most beautifle Coastal place in Norway.
You’re skipping the most beautiful mid-western coastal part of norway, its worth it
Not norway, but sweeden. do the border crossing at Kongsvinger from Oslo, if you drive the minor roads down from Kongsvinger to Vännersborg you will drive along tons of small lakes/waterways and it’s calm and more relaxed. You will miss Halden and Fredrikstad Old town, but gain Eidsvold, Kongsvinger and a lot of nature.
And you don’t want to miss Bergen, Voss and Hardanger.
I think this looks good! You will experience the fjords and such. However, the amount of tourism is tremendous. Finding parking around landmarks might be hard, hotels might be sold out etc.
I think a good plan b can be useful and being flexible with where you go.
Weather can, unfortunetly, be rather grey and rainy for days on end.
I truly recommend driving the coastal way from Kristiansand to Stavanger!
For Sweden: I don’t know what’s in Sunnersberg, but I hope, and assume, the intention is to visit Läckö slott!
Would recommend on the trip with stavanger to consider visiting the «lysefjord» and «the pulpit rock». The pulpit rock should be fine if you’re comfortable having your baby on a backpack/frontpack (whatever the name is) for 2,5 hours ish.
Minor route change suggestion. Take the ferry to Larvik instead of Kristiansand, as that allows a leisurely tour down the smiling coastline. Putter among the smooth cliffs, skerries, bays and charming small towns. Larvik itself, Stavern, Langesund, Kragerø, Risør, Tvedestrand, Arendal: There’s a lot to see navigating the coastal routes (don’t speed past on E18 for most of the trip!), and the landscape is very different than the alpine, valley and lake landscape of Switzerland.
From Stavanger to Odda, the road through Tau, Sand, Røldal is a lot more scenic than the one through Haugesund. Unless Haugesund is a desired stop.
Looks great! Keep in mind that if you want to bring your dog into Norway, there are some strict rules for entry that you should be aware of such as vaccine passports and very recent tapeworm treatment. You must go through declaration, even if you come from another EU country.

As for the roadtrip itself, cant really go wrong with that part of Norway, its amazing everywhere! (Except the weather at least haha) Would probably add Bergen to your list as its a lovely (But rainy) city!
As a Swede, I’m curious what you want to see in Sunnersberg specifically haha. I’ve never even heard of it and googling led me nowhere. But Vänern is beautiful eitherway and you should check out Läckö Slott, a beautiful castle by the shore and while i’ve never been myself, ive heard that Lidköping is nice town as well.
But you should really stop at some of the super cute fishing villages the Swedish west cost and not just drive the boring highway. I would at least visit a few of these:
* Smögen
* Lysekil
* Orust
* Marstrand
Göteborg is a great city and has the best Amusement park in northern Europe if you are into that sort of thing.
A bit further south, you can stop by Kullaberg, and check out the somewhat illegal artwork “Nimis” which is like a bunch of buildings and stuff that a crazy guy made of driftwood and stone. Technically illieagal but its brings tourists so the local government just leave it standing (for now at least) Mölle and the surroundings is really pretty as well! Worth a stop and the Pizza at Mölle krukmakeri is great as well! Speaking of pizza, one of the best pizzas in this part of the world is in Falkenberg at Lilla Napoli so it could be worth a stop as well!
Malmö has really great and cheep food with tons of fantastic restaurants! (Dm if you want recs as this is getting long already). It also as the fantastic muesum “Discusting food museum” which displays wierd and/or gross foods from around the world and at the end you can try a bunch of things if you are curious! Highly recommend if you are interested in food and food history!
Speaking of food… since you are Swiss, the prices in Norway might not shock you but the food probably will. Compared just about every country, Norways food is abysmal outside of *some* seafood. Its extremely bland most of the time and the prices are an insult for what you get. Look for immigrant restaurants, especially indian if you want food that actually tastes something. Do check out Brunost though, its very wierd but actually decent and you wont find it outside Norway. All they eat here is frozen pizza and tacos basically.
When i Sweden: Take a bath in the lake Vänern when you go by Lidköping. It’s nice and warm, and shallow hundreds of meters out.
You seem to be skipping all the most scenic areas for some reason
