Day 1: Arrival at Oslo - Transfer to Hallingdal
Upon arriving at Oslo Airport, we assemble the group before setting off for our first destination, Hallingdal. The 2.5-hour drive takes us to our accommodation, where we settle in and review the week's itinerary over a welcome dinner in the evening.
Day 2: Ride in Hallingdal - Transfer to Sogndal
After breakfast, we set out on the trails in Hallingdal, which offers a diverse mix of purpose-built and natural routes. We ease into the week by exploring some of the area's best trails, enjoying our first day of biking in Norway. After the ride, we begin our 2.5-hour journey to our first main destination, Sogndal.
Day 3: Ride around Sogndal, Mountain Bike capital of the fjords
Sogndal, the regional hub of the Sognefjord, is also the mountain biking capital of the fjords. On our first day, we explore the loamy trails around Sogndal and Kaupanger, where stunning routes are paired with breathtaking fjord views.
Day 4: Vorfjellet ascent and descent
After breakfast, we take transport up to the mountains, with Vorfjellet as our goal for the day. The ascent follows a stunning trail, leading to breathtaking views at the summit before a thrilling descent. We then connect to a trail that takes us all the way down to the fjord. From there, we return to our lodging for our final night in Sogndal on this tour.
Day 5: Gudbrandsdalen ride and transfer to Alvdal
After an early breakfast, we head straight to Gudbrandsdalen for an unforgettable ride on our way to Alvdal.

We wrap up the tour with a thrilling descent from the top of the old cableway, finishing right at our lodging at Urørt Lodge.

After breakfast, we head to Mt. Tron, where a shuttle takes us up to a mountain plateau at 1,300 meters along Norway’s second-highest mountain road.

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.
