Description

This 4-day tour will take us to explore amazing mountain bike routes in Alvdal.

With Rondane National Park as our backdrop, we will experience some of the best mountain biking and mountain culture that Norway has to offer.
Most of the trails we will use for biking are either trails to the nearby mountain farms, or to the old mines, which you also find scattered around the area. Both result in a unique network of trails in the mountains, and a wide variety of landscapes that we will explore day by day.

In the evenings, we will spend the night in local farmhouses and hotels, with plenty of time to relax in a peaceful natural environment. You can find a detailed day-by-day itinerary below.

Keep in mind we will ride an average of 25km per day with both uphill and downhill trails. Therefore, it's important that you have a good fitness level and are comfortable riding a mountain bike. Of course, we will be there to guide you every step of the way.

Itinerary

Day 1: Arrival

Arrival at Urørt Lodge, a small family farm in Alvdal which will serve as our first stop on this tour. We will go through the different day plans, adjust our bikes and enjoy our supper made from local produce.

Day 2: The summer farms

After breakfast, we get a shuttle up to the mountains. The tour of the day will take us through the alpine highlands, with dry singletracks in beautiful scenery, and lots of downhill. We will finish with a thrillingly fun descent down to the valley floor and the river Folla. Our shuttle picks us up at the bottom and brings us to the other side of the valley where we will sleep at a traditional summer farm with amazing views.

Distance: 25 km
700 hm climb – 1000 hm descent

Day 3: The spa

Straight from the summer farm, we make a small climb to our first summit where we enjoy views of mountains, lakes and rivers and a long and beautiful descent. At the bottom, we head back up to the mountains and the last and spectacular descent takes us all the way down to our hotel for the night. Arriving at the hotel you can enjoy a relaxing and refreshing swim in the spa pool. In the evening we enjoy a delicious farewell dinner made from local produce.

Distance: 20 km

Day 4: The traverse

Following a slow and tasty breakfast, we head back out on the trails. Our shuttle will transport us to the trailhead of the day and we begin with a long and beautiful descent. The first part of the day will be spent on some beautiful trails in the forest before we commence on a very scenic traverse bringing us back up above the tree line, two summits and the trail ends with a fantastic trail straight from the summit and down to the valley floor and the end of the tour at Urørt Lodge.

Mountain Bike Guide

I hold a passion for mountain adventures, especially for secret gems off the beaten path.

Through the companies Svaneti Backcountry and Urørt, I have been organizing guided ski tours to Svaneti since 2013. I have first-hand knowledge of the skiing, culture, and local partners in the area.

As a mountain bike guide, I am at the top of my game in my own backyard, which consists of the local mountains, Rondane National Park and the area surrounding Røros.

Wherever we go, I am ready to show you the best trails adjusted to your level and needs.

Auden our guide was exceptional in every way. Our bike trip was the highlight of our Norway visit and we loved the scenery, type of riding and the local foods, local knowledge/history and guiding that Auden provided. We would highly recommend a trip with Auden. He is a very adept guide and he handles every aspect of the tour seamlessly.
