We welcome advanced trail riders to experience the best trail biking Norway has to offer! Together with skilled local guides you will travel with a small company of equally keen riders through Hallingdal and the Fjords, every day riding new epic trails.
We will sample a wide variety of terrain; like the hand built modern enduro trails of Høgevarde, machine built park trails in Nesbyen, deer trodden switch backs in Kaupanger, and antique alpine-to-fjord farmers trails in Luster. Some days we’ll shuttle, some days are spent earning most of the altitude meters by our own power.
We include comfortable accommodations nestled in Norway’s beautiful landscapes. Our carefully selected lodges provide all the amenities you need to recharge for the next day’s adventures. Delicious local cuisine for breakfast, lunch and dinner throughout your stay will be prepared so you only focus on biking and the Norwegian experience. Our small group size and local guides will have you getting the best out of your trip.
The tour starts at Oslo airport or by your hotel in the city, with pick up and transfer to the first stop of the trip; Høgevarde. We spend the following days exploring more modern / “built” trails in Høgevarde and Nesbyen. Then its time to head across to the western side of the country, to the fjords. Sogndal offers our basecamp, and the area has awesome loamy trail biking amoung the trees og epic trails from the alpine down to the fjords. During your stay you will sample some classics, as well as some hidden gems for the locals.

In the evening we fire up the sauna and the pizza oven for a truly Norwegian experience.

We explore the trails around Nesbyen, home of some of the most gnarly old-school downhill trails and modern park-style trails in the driest valley in Norway.
Easy shuttling and lots of altitude meters of challenging riding!
Day 4 - Heading West!
We keep exploring Hallingdal, this time we go to explore natural old school rock n roll trails. Speed, style and technique! In the afternoon when we’re spent, we head over to our next destination - Sogndal! We enjoy the amazing Fjord view as we have dinner in the lodge.

If you wish to ride your bike today, there is a beautiful train ride up the valley and a scenic gravel ride back down to the fjord. In the afternoon when we’re spent, we head over to our next destination - Sogndal! We enjoy the amazing Fjord view as we have dinner in the lodge.
