Paris–Nordkapp is not a rally. It’s not a race. It’s something different.
A legendary departure: Paris, beneath the Eiffel Tower. A mythical destination: Nordkapp.
Over 6000 km of mixed terrain, dirt, gravel, tarmac, through 9 countries and some of the most breathtaking landscapes in Europe.
The first edition will take place from June 27th to July 11th, 2026. Riders will gather in Paris for administrative checks and briefings on June 27th and 28th. The official start will be at midnight, as the 29th of June begins, beneath the Eiffel Tower.
There is no assistance. Riders carry everything they need. Navigation, planning, and self-reliance are the foundation. The final destination: the North Cape. A place that symbolizes arrival, remoteness, and the climax of an extraordinary journey.
IT's not a rally.
It’s an adventure.

THE ROUTE
It all begins in Paris, beneath the lights of the Eiffel Tower.
From there, your compass points north, through Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Sweden, and Norway…until you reach the edge of the continent: Nordkapp.
The journey unfolds along a carefully crafted route made of panoramic asphalt roads, forgotten off-road tracks, and hidden trails carved by nature and time.
To face it, you’ll need a motorcycle that can handle everything: adventure or rally, twin or single-cylinder, what matters is being prepared.
Your machine must be ready for full autonomy: bags, tools, knobby tires, and above all, a spirit for the unknown.
Paris–Nordkapp is not about getting from point A to point B.
It’s about savoring every section, riding through sandy trails in the forests of Poland, flowing gravel in Sweden, and highlands that stretch endlessly beneath the midnight sun.
Each kilometer is part of the experience.
There are no transfers. Every note in your RoadBook is a call to adventure.

Paris–Nordkapp is built around a unique “Gate System”: a structure designed not to dictate your pace, but to give rhythm to the northbound journey.
Each gate marks a key phase of the adventure, helping to “keep time” without imposing strict speed or competitive pressure. Riders are free to choose how fast or slow they move between one gate and the next, as long as they arrive within the established time window. The goal is not to rush, but to progress with purpose.
This system balances freedom with structure: it prevents the chaos of open pacing while still allowing each participant to ride according to his own strategy. Whether you move steadily and sleep in hotels, or push harder and camp under the stars, the Gate System ensures everyone moves forward together, on their own terms, but within a shared tempo.
Strategic checkpoint
Each gate is a strategic checkpoint and gathering point. It opens and closes at set times. Riders must arrive within the time window and stop for mandatory rest. Failing to check in means elimination.
But the gate is much more than a control point. It is a place to recharge and reconnect.
Malle Moto Style
At every Gate, riders will find a fully equipped Malle Moto zone: a self-service workshop stocked with professional tools, tire-changing equipment, and high-quality lubricants. It’s the perfect space to perform maintenance, make adjustments, and get your bike ready for the next stretch. Whether you need to change tires, tighten bolts, or simply give your machine some love, this is your garage away from home.
A celebration of community
Each Gate becomes a shared moment in the journey, a celebration where all riders come together around food, stories, and laughter. It’s where the solitude of the road gives way to connection, and where the faces behind the helmets come to life. Around the fire or at a long table, it’s a chance to reconnect with the human side of the adventure.
A special skill challenge
To add a touch of fun, skill, and surprise, every Gate hosts a special challenge. These can range from precision riding to creative problem solving, and are designed to reward adaptability and control. Riders who complete the challenge successfully earn bonus credits, proving that adventure is as much about finesse as it is about endurance.
Carefully chosen locations
Each Gate is set near a location chosen for its scenic beauty, logistical convenience, and comfort. These tourist-friendly areas provide access to functional, welcoming accommodations, from mountain lodges to cozy inns, ensuring that your mandatory rest is also restorative. Whether you prefer a hot shower or a soft bed, the Gate will offer a well-earned pause in the journey.
