WELLNESS ITINERARY

LEBLANQ NORWAY

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 luxury of our 5-star hotels and practicing wellness activities in the company of like-minded individuals.

Join us in the Sunnmøre Alps and Indulge in the ultimate wellness escape, tailored specifically for non-riding guests. 

Your mornings will start with leisurely breakfasts as well as breathtaking views before enjoying the best of relaxation and adventure that Norway has to offer. 

Whilst the riders conquer the magnificent roads throughout the region, you can take the scenic route in the front seat of a Porsche, skirting secluded fjords and discovering stunning vistas, along the way stopping off to taste some of the finest local produce.

Unwind at Hotel Brosundet's spa with a canal swim, a soak in the outdoor bathtubs or a sauna session.  There will also be an opportunity to embrace the beautiful Norwegian landscape on an exhilarating hike with trusted guides before meeting with the riders after their tour. 

Recharge with a cooling dip in Norangsfjord then warm up in the sauna on the edge of the fjord before indulging in Henrik Orre’s delectable feasts at the spectacular Hotel Union Oye.
