Cycling in Norway
Pick and choose
You might think that with its high mountains, steep downhills and rough terrain, Norway is all about hard-core road cycling or mountain and downhill biking. If you want a challenge on two wheels, there are certainly many to choose from.
But, don't forget, Norway is a lot more than just high peaks! The country's varied topography makes it possible to find cycling routes that are perfect for less experienced cyclists. In many places, you can also rent electric bikes for an even smoother ride.
Discover hidden gems in the countryside, get your pulse racing in the mountains, and discover everything you need for an amazing cycling holiday!
Amazing mountain biking
Focus on the ride down in one of Norway's cool mtb/freeride parks!
The parks in Hafjell, Trysil, and Geilo are among the biggest in the country. There, you'll find fantastic downhill trails, pump tracks and trail biking options, as well as cyclist-friendly accommodation options, bike rentals and repair shops.
If you want to go biking in winter (!), you need to check out fatbiking.
