A Grand Cycling Adventure in Trøndelag – For the True Explorer!
Set off on a remarkable long-distance ride through the heart of Trøndelag, designed for those who crave both challenge and discovery. From Steinkjer, follow winding asphalt- and gravel roads through deep forests all the way to the coastal town of Namsos. Ride quiet country lanes along the legendary salmon river Namsen, and trace the route of the Nordland railway on trails and gravel tracks. Along the way, stop at Stiklestad – the historic site where Saint Olav fell – and immerse yourself in one of Norway’s defining stories.
Your nights are just as memorable as your days on the bike. Stay in unique and authentic places: cozy forest cabins, a converted railway carriage, a working farm, a traditional mountain summer farm with grazing animals, or a comfortable hotel with full amenities.
This journey is not without its challenges – some sections require you to push your bike on narrow, hilly and wet paths – but that’s all part of the adventure. The reward is variety and contrast: from farmland and lively villages to long, silent stretches through forests and mountain landscapes, where your only company will be birdsong and the gentle hum of insects.
This is more than a cycling trip – it’s a chance to slow down, embrace the wilderness, and experience Trøndelag at its most authentic.
