Tour de Dovre

A Vibrant Alpine Pasture Valley

Set off on a remarkable cycling adventure along the Dovrefjell trail, winding through the heart of three spectacular national parks: Rondane, Dovre, and Dovrefjell. Traverse awe-inspiring mountain scenery, peaceful landscapes, and the charming Grimsdalen Valley, celebrated as one of Norway’s most stunning farming areas. Discover a quieter, untouched side of Norway, far from the bustling tourist routes of the west coast.

The route offers flexibility, allowing you to tailor your journey based on how far you wish to cycle and where you’d like to stay overnight. Whether you opt for a leisurely ride or an electrified boost with an e-bike, the choice is yours. The National Park Trail between Dombås and Hjerkinn is especially suitable for families, offering a safe and scenic experience. For a weekend getaway or a deeper exploration of Dovrefjell, you can combine cycling with unique activities like a musk ox safari, horseback riding on Icelandic horses, or climbing the iconic Mount Snøhetta. Along the trail, you’ll find plenty of opportunities for adventure and cosy places to eat and rest, ensuring an unforgettable journey surrounded by nature.

Possible Access Changes from 2026

Environmental authorities are planning new wild reindeer protection measures in the Dovre and Rondane regions that may affect parts of the Tour de Dovre route from 2026 onward. Several gravel roads used in the loop, including Grimsdalsvegen and Haverdalsvegen, could face seasonal restrictions or limited cycling access, particularly during the reindeer calving period in early summer. Most of the route will likely remain open for cyclists after 18 June, but with stricter camping rules and shorter operating seasons for DNT cabins. Cycle Norway will update this page once the final regulations are confirmed by Nasjonalparkstyret Dovrefjell og Rondane.
