Family-friendly Trysil is home to Norway’s largest mountain biking resort and is a hot spot for summer cycling holidays. Trysil Bike Arena boasts more than 50 kilometres of purpose-built single track trails, and about 100 kilometres of natural single tracks.
Mountain biking in Trysil
Many people think of trail riding as a niche activity for cycling fanatics. In Trysil, one of the best mountain biking destinations in Northern Europe, nothing could be further from the truth. Whether you’re a total novice or an experienced thrill seeker, you’ll find plenty of challenges to fit your level of expertise at Trysil Bike Arena.
Discover amazing bike parks
Check out GT Bike Park, Radisson Blu Bike Park, and Fageråsen Bike Park for amazing pump tracks, jump lines, dual slalom trails, and more. Perfect both for trying out your bike for the first time, and if you want to brush up a rusty technique. At GT Pro Park, you can try Norway’s longest pump track, jump lines, and drop, not to mention Twin Peaks, a parallel slalom course where two cyclists can ride the same trail at the same time. The trails are free to use, but the chairlift requires a ski card. Bikes and equipment are available for hire at several places in Trysil if you don't have your own.
Maximise your fun at Gullia
Gullia offers biking experiences you won’t find anywhere else in Scandinavia. The 35-kilometre-long trail network includes everything from easy greens to advanced blacks. There is something for everyone here, even for children who have just taken off their training wheels.
Cool trails with fun challenges and impressive wooden bridges let you enjoy the scenery while you test your skills, whether you want to keep your wheels on the ground or go for the jumps.
Hot tip: Practice on the easiest trails before hitting the more advanced trails at Gullia and other parks.
Lift-based biking
Take the Fjellekspressen chairlift to the top of Trysilfjellet mountain, where 15 fun and challenging flow trails totalling over 22 kilometres await. You can also enjoy a ride around the mountain on the Fjellrunden trail.
Experience an extensive network of natural trails and fly down one of the longest flow trails in Europe with Fjellekspressen!
Ride in the mountains with the kids
Fjellrunden is a family-friendly cross-country trail around Trysilfjellet mountain. This 13-kilometre-long route is also perfect for an easy e-bike trip, and some parts are wheelchair-friendly.
Another tip is to check out Fjellflyten, a fun high mountain flow trail that takes you down to Trysil Høyfjellssenter.
