Ever since our HGT22 tour of the Alps, we knew that a trip to Norway would be possible but also quite demanding. So, over the last two years, together with Malcolm – who had also participated in the 2022 edition – we started planning one of the best – if not the best – trip ever carried out in collaboration with our official BMW club – BMW Performance Car Club. As this event was planned in agreement with the board members of our club, we looked for the name that best represented our desire. And from there we easily agreed that Arctic Circle would be the name of the event and also our destination.
The adventure, covering around 6,000 kilometers (for some a little more!), bring participants from the UK, Luxembourg, Switzerland, the Netherlands and Belgium coming together to experience the thrill of driving our beloved BMWs through one of the most breathtaking countries in the world.
The excitement was high and it was two years of waiting, but somehow it passed quickly because our planning was constant and with a single objective. To make this trip something epic and that everyone who participated in the same trip can one day remember as something that will remain forever as one of the best moments of their lives. Here is my shared part of this tour that lasted 14 days from departure to arrival.

Just wanted to point out that @[mjn77](contact:272127) has also shared his perspective on our Norway Car Club trip. He followed a slightly different itinerary, so if youre interested in seeing another take on the journey, check out their thread as well. Its great to see how varied our experiences were even on the same trip! Link: https://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2124397
Our journey was an unforgettable odyssey, starting in the charming flatlands of the Netherlands, traversing through Germany’s picturesque countryside, winding through Denmark’s scenic coastal roads, and then into the dramatic fjords of Norway. From there, we meandered across Sweden’s serene landscapes before looping back through Denmark’s quaint towns, retracing our path through Germany, and finally returning to the Netherlands, enriched by the diverse cultures, stunning vistas, and the sheer thrill of the open road.

After some unforeseen events that are not worth mentioning, this tour started in The Hague, Holland on July 21st at around 11am. A smooth journey in which the best part is always when you cross the border from Holland to Germany and see the best symbol any road can offer…
During this day we travel alone. The rest of the members come in small groups with different routes than ours. The goal is to meet tomorrow morning and continue together. The group will only be complete in Norway.
Our hotel was very cozy and in a good location. We stayed outside of Hamburg to avoid the local traffic that would most likely be congested tomorrow when we leave for Denmark where the first of many ferries awaits us.
For me, parking is always a concern to consider. Especially when we are in places that are neutral to us and we have no knowledge about them, but in this hotel I had a relaxed night
Very nice hotel. Not many people, just how I like it. A mix of classic and modern with everything we needed for a nights stay.
We even had the right to a whole custom fancy name for our room
We also had the opportunity to find a pizzeria owned by Italians relatively close to the hotel, which had excellent service.
With beer as it should be!
Tomorrow will be the day to meet some of the tour participants and my pocket rocket cant wait to meet his comrades so that they can also be baptized with the official logo of the event.
