Fastest route from south of Norway to north of Norway would be through Sweden and take you 1 day and 6 hours, if you want to stay in Norway for the whole route it would take you 1 day and 11 hours. Driving to Rome would be faster.

Damn, i was like " how slow are you travelling in norway? New zealand guy also posted ca 2500 km and it just took him 29 hours. How can he do it in less than a day when you need almost two days"

Norway is basically just mountains and fjords so the roads are seldom straight.

This is the landscape you will be mostly driving through

And the further north you get the worse the road conditions will be, not to mention parts of the "highway" up there goes through the towns with lower speed limit. People up north likes to joke about the infrastructure being bad up there just to slow down Russia if they ever decide to invade.

On the plus side, it's a beautiful road trip to make. Much more enjoyable than driving down south near the capital where it's less mountainous but better highway.

I'd also like to point out that 29 hours is 1 day and 5 hours, so not that far off from the fastest route if you go through Sweden.

It took me too long to realize that it is only 6 hours more. 35 hours vs 29 hours or 1d5h and 1d1hh. Conversion problem. When everything else is metric, you can get it wrong some times, my bad.
