Many Danish and German Suzuki tourist visit Norway. Some Gen3 but now mostly Gen4 Jimnys. Easy to spot as there is no Norwegian Gen4 Jimnys here. (6 to 10 in total in Norway)
Some even reach Lofoten or Nordkapp, a distance from Oslo compared to that to Italy approximately.
I have also a few longer trips in my gen3 Jimny, not as long as yours but 3-4 trips now of 2000-ish km's (1250 miles) around Norway, Sweden and Denmark. No problems. I pull a trailer as well.

Which part of the Pyrenees did you visit? I try to get down there each year to ride around on motorbikes.
Regarding lorry speeds, they will be doing the same 56mph/90kmh that they do here. But lower traffic levels certainly help things to run smoothly.

We did something similar last summer. Eurotunnel to France, overnight in Reims, a week in the Swiss alps and then back. This was with three of us in the car and the Jimny was great. Something bigger, more luxurious and more powerful would have done it better no doubt, but where's the fun in that?

Yes. I have done a couple of weekend trips with Trails and Tracks in UK and really like George’s style of off-road tours.
