Jotunheimen Gravel Loop
Home of the Giants
Norway’s highest mountain passes meet gravel and paved roads on one of the best cycling loops on the planet. Every kilometer has breathtaking scenery. If you can handle several long climbs this is for you!
The Ultimate Mixed-Surface Loop
This route will take you around Jotunheimen National Park in a big loop. But unlike the famous Jotunheimen Rundt Grand Fondo, which is the most spectacular in Norway. This route also takes you to quiet gravel roads, and even car-free like Tusenmeterenn.
The name “Jotunheimen” translates to ‘Home of the Giants’. This is where you find the highest mountains in northern Europe and of all the 200 peaks higher than 2000 meters in Norway only 27 are outside this loop. This route will give you a bit of everything Norway has to offer. Multiple high mountain passes, plateaus, glaciers, waterfalls, lakes, old historic roads, and fjord views. You will find some really good authentic Norwegian accommodation on the route and there are endless options for wild camping. You will be blown away and exhausted!
