NORSECODE / PRODUCTION SERVICE / NORWAY
BY ROAD
DRAMATIC LANDSCAPES.
PRACTICAL CONNECTIONS.
Norway combines dramatic locations with an extensive transport infrastructure built to connect cities, coastal communities and mountain regions. Around 95,000 km of public roads and more than 1,260 road tunnels work alongside bridges and ferry connections to bring your production closer to the shoot.
For film productions, that network supports the efficient movement of technical equipment, camera and lighting trucks, crew and cast between airports, accommodation, production bases and locations. Tunnels provide routes through mountains, while bridges and ferries link fjords and islands—helping turn ambitious location plans into practical production moves.
Compared with Iceland’s smaller road network, Norway offers a wider range of routes and regional connections to consider. NORSECODE combines that infrastructure with local route planning, matching access, vehicle dimensions, ferry schedules and seasonal conditions to the needs of your production.
Roads that reach the locations
Norway’s national and regional roads connect cities, coastal settlements and inland communities. Major corridors such as the E6 and E39 form part of a wider network for production moves.
Iceland’s Route 1 is an important backbone, with other roads serving coastal and inland regions. Access to highland locations can involve seasonal mountain roads and vehicle-specific requirements.
Through mountains.
Across fjords.
Tunnels and bridges are an important part of Norway’s road network. They can provide access through mountainous terrain and across waterways, expanding the options for reaching filming locations.
Access still needs to be checked for each production: vehicle height, weight, road width, turning space, parking and permissions all affect the plan.
Ferries as part
of the journey
Road ferries connect parts of the Norwegian coast and fjord regions. For productions, they can form a practical link between locations alongside the road network.
Sailing times, vehicle capacity, reservations and weather must be included in the schedule. Ferry crossings are planned travel legs, with time allowed for boarding and waiting.
More ways
to move your team
Depending on the region, road transport can be combined with domestic flights, trains, passenger boats and local public transport. This creates options for moving different parts of a production in different ways.
Alternative routes are location-dependent. Both Norway and Iceland can experience weather-related closures, and some Norwegian mountain roads close seasonally. We plan around actual conditions and realistic transfer times.
