WELLNESS ITINERARY
CURATED BY
Joyriding comes in many forms and whilst some come to experience picturesque riding alongside cycling royalty and taste world-class dishes from our Michelin-star chefs, others seek tranquility, whilst lapping up the intimate feel of our host venues and unwinding with unique experiences in the company of like-minded individuals.
Join us in Norway and indulge in the ultimate wellness escape, tailored specifically for non-riding guests.
