Day-by-Day Itinerary
Seven days of riding and travelling from the mountains of Hallingdal to the fjords of Sogndal
A Sample Week
Together with local guides and a small group of equally keen riders, you will sample a wide variety of terrain: hand-built enduro trails at Høgevarde, park and old-school downhill trails in Nesbyen, and natural alpine-to-fjord trails around Sogndal. Some days we shuttle, other days we earn the descents by our own power.
We are flexible
The plan below is an example of how a week can look. The final programme depends on weather, trail conditions and the group’s wishes and energy, and we adjust it day by day. The order of days may change, and we may swap a trail area or activity for something better suited to the conditions.
Have something special in mind? Let us know when you book and we will do our best to make it happen.
Day 0
Arrive in Oslo
Oslo
Fly into Oslo and spend the night in a hotel of your choice in the city or near the airport, so you are rested and ready for the week ahead.
Day 1
Pickup and first trails at Høgevarde
Høgevarde, Hallingdal
We pick you up with your bike and gear at Oslo Central Station or your hotel around noon, or at Oslo Airport around 2 pm, and drive to our first base: Høgevarde.
The mountain lodge sits well above 1,000 metres, with a cosy sauna and a lake for cooling off. We assemble the bikes, have a bite to eat with a view, and spend the afternoon warming up on trails straight from the door while dinner is being prepared.
Day 2
Shuttle day at Høgevarde
Høgevarde, Hallingdal
Shuttle day! We explore more of the hand-built enduro trails on Høgevarde, with the shuttle running all day and lunch out on the mountain.
In the evening we fire up the sauna and the pizza oven for a proper Norwegian mountain evening.
Day 3
Nesbyen – old-school downhill and park trails
Nesbyen, Hallingdal
We head to Nesbyen in one of the driest valleys in Norway, home to gnarly old-school downhill tracks as well as modern, machine-built park trails. Easy shuttling and plenty of vertical metres.
Day 4
Natural Hallingdal trails – then on to the fjords
Hallingdal → Sogndal
We keep exploring Hallingdal, this time on natural, rock’n’roll trails where speed, style and technique count.
When the legs are spent, we drive on to our second base in Sogndal and enjoy dinner at the lodge with a view of the fjord.
Alternative: scenic day via Flåm
Want a break from the saddle? We can take a scenic high-mountain drive to Flåm by the fjord. If you still want to ride, there is the option of taking the train up the valley and a beautiful gravel ride back down to the fjord, before continuing to Sogndal for dinner.
Day 5
Fjord backcountry riding
Sogndal and the fjord region
An epic backcountry day: a long climb with a big reward. The fjord region is known for shifting weather, so we pick the peaks and trails that work best on the day – that is our speciality.
Day 6
Last day on the fjord trails
Kaupanger, Luster and around
One more big day in the fjord region – think tight switchbacks around Kaupanger or old alpine-to-fjord farm trails in Luster.
In the evening we pack up the bikes and celebrate the week with a farewell dinner.
Day 7
Departure
Sogndal → home
Time to head home. Depending on your travel plans, we can get you to the morning ferry to Bergen, drop you off at the airport, or drive you back to Oslo.
