National Gravel Route 7: Jotunheimen
Jotunheimen — the Land of the Giants — is Norway’s most famous mountain region, known for its glaciers, high mountain lakes, and peaks rising well above 2,000 metres. Most people experience it on foot, hiking between cabins or climbing individual summits. This route offers something different: the chance to circle the national park by bike.
The route follows a mix of gravel roads, historic mountain passes, and quieter backroads that have connected valleys long before tourism existed. More than half of the route is gravel, with options to add quieter detours and spend even more time away from traffic and busy tourist areas.
