Actually...throw in a few dozen other legendary descents/ ascents along the Norwegian Fjordlands up the coast 1400km to the Arctic Circle and there are very short....but warm-to-hot (30C+).... summers with near 24hr. daylight the further north you get, legendary mozzies due to all the Nordic lakes and waterways, very few people and settlements....but many ferries are part of the national road-network and free of charge (count on plenty of waiting time though, things often get rough up there).
Eivind came from Lillehammer, the place of the 1994 Winter Olympics barely 150km north of Oslo, the capital.
VERY popular travel-country with the Central-Europeans (eyewatering exxy though)

Whilst there may be some dry, warm days, this table (from a Google search) tells a different storey. Not sure if I'd want to have a ride planned, it could turn nasty with short notice.
Accommodation? Yes, another search show's that the local proprietors have passed the local tourism commission certificate on how to charge tourists with flying colours. It's even more expensive than Tassie.

That's always been the case with all of Scandinavia.... short-ish summers (but usually quite nice).
Eye-wateringly expensive....Tassie or NZ would have a long way to go to get to that level.
The Nordics are well known for their "raids" into mid/ southern Europe just for weekend/holiday of cheap boozing (alco of all sorts has been heavily restricted and taxed in those countries for decades due to being used to find sleep through those months of near 24hr daylight etc...with the obvious societal effects).
Tourist season lasts about 3mths/ year in which many places have to make their annual t/o.... the rest of the year is mostly "cost-only".
Remember a short 2-day trip to Norrkoping, about 200km west of Stockholm, Sweden in the late-80s to see the production/ development facility of the first, original Flexfoot Foot-Prosthesis, then the techno-crown of the biomechanics field (nowadays the grandfather of the genre).
At a time when a 3br house in Melbourne's outer subs was ~$60k, the rental car was $130/day, a single apple at a supermarket in a medium town along the way was $4, a can of Coke $5 at a servo, and a night in a Hostel/ Backpackers in Norrkoping $110....try to translate that into today's prices and Tassie would be at Bali-level.
As for 26 slow-pace U-turns...pfffffft
....strike the Euro-Alps off your travel-list then.Common as muck, 3 lots of that before brecky.
Leave the easy stuff to the Harley-punters
