E-Bike Tours
Above the Treeline
Explore the Mountains by Bike!
Endless gravel roads. Endless views.
Quiet gravel roads with wide views weave through the mountains around Mosetertoppen & Hafjell, connecting old summer farms and remote cabins. On our beginner-friendly e-bike tours we will guide you around the highest peaks of the area, past serene blue lakes and open wetland and through forests of crooked spruces defying the harsh Nordic climate. Along the way you’ll meet grazing cows and sheep, who have been roaming these mountains freely for centuries.
The electrical support of the e-bikes allows everyone to join our tours, providing as much help as you desire, boosting you on short uphills as well as evening out fitness differences within the group. Our route requires no bike handling skills other than basic cycling experience and our guides will instruct you on operating your e-bike before the start.
Along the way you will learn more about the area, local wildlife & the region’s history. We’ll have enough time for plenty of stops to take photos or just soak in the wide views stretching all the way to the snow-covered peaks of Rondane on a clear day. And of course we have planned for a proper break at the lake shore – Norwegian snacks included, and a swim in the lake if you’re feeling brave.
The bike tour you won’t forget.
