Paris-Nordkapp 2027
The Ultra Motorcycling Adventure that begins in Paris and ends at the edge of the world. A unique, unsupported journey that challenges riders to navigate through Europe’s most breathtaking landscapes On and Off Road, armed only with a Roadbook (or GPX), courage, and a relentless sense of direction. For the second edition we split in two: from Oslo the route divides, and each class finds its own North; the Explorers along the legendary roads of Norway, the Rally classes deep into Swedish and Finnish Lapland. There is no assistance, self-reliance is key. No support. No shortcuts. Just you, your machine, and the long road north. Riders leave Paris at midnight and head up through Europe to Nordkapp.
Paris–Nordkapp was born from a dream: to transform the spirit of the old Paris–Dakar into a northbound, unsupported adventure. Founded by Tiziano Internò and Manuel Podetti, the event blends experience, vision, and a shared desire to create something raw, real, and unforgettable.
Riders leave Paris at midnight and follow a route of 6.000 km through roads and off-road trails to Nordkapp. Navigation is via RoadBook or GPX, and four mandatory Gates set the rhythm with timed rest stops, mechanical support, and community. There is no assistance, self-reliance is key.
This is not a race, but a personal challenge. Riders travel at their own pace, camp or sleep in hotels, and reconnect with nature, solitude, and each other. It’s an adventure designed to push limits, build bonds, and leave something lasting beyond the road.
In 60 seconds
The six things riders ask us most. Everything else is one click away.
No timed sections, no ranking. From the Eiffel Tower to the North Cape, every kilometre is part of the route and the highway code applies everywhere.
Rally RoadBook: mixed tarmac and off-road with a digital RoadBook.
Rally GPX: the same spirit, following a GPX track.
Explorer GPX: 100% tarmac on a GPX track, passenger allowed.
Four mandatory Gates: Oslo after four days, then three, three and two days to Honningsvåg. Reach each one within its maximum arrival time: the only non-negotiable rule.
Bring your own tablet, GPS or smartphone plus a second device. We supply the live-tracking and safety device: rental included, €150 refundable cash deposit.
No assistance on the road: you carry what you need. At every Gate the Malle Motorex Area gives you tools, stands and free lubricants, plus a tyre service by reservation.
Everyone who reaches Nordkapp is a Finisher. Validate 100% of the route and you are a Finisher HERO, 85% PRO, 70% SURVIVOR. Joker Cards won at the Gates count as kilometres ridden.
It’s about the winding gravel trails through pine-covered ridges, the hidden paths that dance between lakes and marshes, and the remote tracks that reveal the raw beauty of Northern Europe, untouched and timeless. It’s about silence in the forests of Sweden, the wind on the plateaus of Norway, the solitude of a dirt trail at dawn. It’s about being present, vulnerable, alive.
You won’t find a podium at the finish line. What you will find is something far more lasting: a sense of having truly crossed something.
An Adventure, and a chance to connect with extraordinary people.
From the Eiffel Tower to Nordkapp, this journey traces 6.000 km of Europe’s most remote and wild terrain. It’s not just a route, it’s a rite of passage across landscapes that demand resilience, reflection, and true adventure spirit.
Rally RoadBook: Navigation with a digital RoadBook using notes, waypoints on a spectacular mix of on-road and—above all—off-road tracks.
Rally GPX: that means navigate with your GPS on more or less the same route as the RoadBook category, but with different control waypoints…so you can’t follow each other
Explorer GPX: A 100% asphalt route through breathtaking landscapes and scenic roads, full of curves and emotion—navigated entirely by GPX track.
Your category is more than a label…it’s how you’ll live the adventure…so choose wisely.
Paris–Nordkapp is an ULTRA motorcycling adventure, so expect to spend up to 10 hours a day in the saddle.
And if you choose one of the Rally categories—RoadBook or GPX—be ready to spend more than half of that time with your wheels kicking up dust and sand.
Prepare yourself, train well, and get ready for the greatest adventure of your life!
Paris–Nordkapp is an unsupported adventure. You carry what you need, maintain your bike, and make your own calls. The spirit of this journey is independence—ride, repair, rest, and rise again, on your own terms.
Along the route, four strategic Gates offer mechanical assistance areas, rider meet-ups, skill challenges, and bonus opportunities. They keep the rhythm of the adventure, provide safety, and create moments of shared pause and connection.
There’s no clock and no podium, just a start, a finish, and a story in between. Paris–Nordkapp is a personal journey where your strategy, your pace, and your choices define the experience. Go fast or go slow…just go true.
Sleep under the stars or in a hotel, travel solo or in a team. You decide how to move through the landscape. The freedom to shape your journey is the core of Paris–Nordkapp. Every ride is different. Every rider, unique.
Reaching Nordkapp isn’t the end, it’s a beginning. What you’ll gain isn’t a medal, but perspective, clarity, and unforgettable stories. Paris–Nordkapp is a transformation, etched in dirt, wind, silence, and shared paths.
