The Premier Ride

If there is one place in Norway made for riding then this area would be it. The Rallarvegen – Skarvheimen section consists of glaciers, picture perfect fjords and valleys, epic climbs, gravel roads to dream of, and nordic forests to get lost in. Not to forget the stunning lakes, medieval churches, the pretty fjord villages and several powerful rivers that cut their way through narrow gorges. Have I sold you it yet?

Yes, this place is very special, but it’s also very tough, with several mountain passes to climb and suffer over. Your legs will be tired, but the endless incredible views will keep you going. The Drammen – Geilo part doesn’t look as interesting on the map but there are a number of forest gravel roads to explore and as you get further north the valley gets deeper and more impressive. This is the sort of ride where you’ll be looking over your photos for years to come.
