  Cyclist Welcome!

Cyclist Welcome is a concept for accommodation establishments in Norway which are especially interested in cycle tourism. The concept was developed and put into practice by The Institution for Cycle Tourism in 1999. This means that chosen hotels, motels, guest houses, campsites and youth hostels make special arrangements to suit the needs of the cycling tourist. CW-establishments are situated along a signposted cycle route and/or have signposted cycle routes for day trips in the immediate vicinity.


More and more Norwegians cycle, and the total number of suitably prepared routes for cycling holidays in Norway are increasing. The interest in cycle tourism in Europe is growing rapidly. By cycle tourism we mean the use of bicycles for holidays and leisure and including commercial facilities such as refreshments, cycle hire, accommodation, signposts, maps/route descriptions etc. Cycle tourism, as opposed to cycle trips, include at least one night's accommodation.

The aim of the concept is:

The cycle tourist
Has a place to stay which satisfies his/her special needs of service and comfort.

The accommodation establishment
Easily be able to make arrangements for cycle tourists
Shall be promoted as cycle friendly
Have more and more satisfied cycle tourists as guests
