Peer Gynt Loop
This region of Norway often goes unnoticed, but this route reveals the beauty of both sides of the Gudbrandsdalen Valley. On the eastern side, you’ll encounter a scenic gravel road winding through rugged, open mountain terrain. Meanwhile, the western mountains boast a different feel with more smooth rock terrain. As you descend from the heights, the landscape transitions to gentle, verdant terrain, with serene roads tracing alongside flowing rivers and streams. The final leg along Mjøsa lake offers a strikingly different scenery from what you’ve encountered before. I adore routes like these, where the diverse terrain keeps you engaged throughout the journey!

Keep in mind
All cycling routes published on CYCLENORWAY.com are intended as planning resources and sources of inspiration to be used alongside your own research and judgement. Routes are created using careful research, but every cyclist has different abilities, expectations, and risk tolerance. Some routes may include hike-a-bike sections, muddy or wet hiking paths, technical terrain, steep climbs, descents, or remote areas that may not be suitable for everyone. Route data, mapping software, and conditions can also change or contain inaccuracies. Cycling in Norway is generally very safe. Nevertheless, if you choose to ride these routes, you do so at your own risk.
