Cycling
See Norway's beautiful
naure from a bicycle! Fjords, mountains and a landscape full of mountain farms
where you can fill your lungs with clean mountain air.
The Adventure Road is a paradise for those who want a biking holiday. Here you
will find widely varying bike routes, where there are opportunities for
everyone.
The most popular cycling route from Norway, the Navvy Road, goes from the high
mountain landscape at Haugastøl or Finse to the lush valley and fjord landscape
at Flåm. The trip can be extended to Voss and Bergen or combined with cycling
routes in Hallingdal.
In Hallingdal there are many trip suggestions and round trips that are
classified and clearly signposted. Families can cycle on easy mountain roads or
find more demanding trails where coordination and balance are challenged.
With a network of good mountain farm roads and trails Hallingdal is perhaps
Norway's best mountain area for bicycle touring.
For downhill and freeriding you can go to Pink Park in Geilo and
Bike Park in Hemsedal. The summer lift takes you up to the top and from here
there are innumerable freeriding opportunities available.
Relish the peace and quiet!
