About

Bike the Mountains and Valleys in Gudbrandsdalen

Explore the mountains and valleys of Gudbrandsdalen on a bike tour just north of Lillehammer. Through open highlands and historic cultural landscapes, with many opportunities for scenic detours and hiking trails along the way. 

In the mountains north of Lillehammer and west of the Gudbrandsdalen valley, you find the Peer Gynt Kingdom with scenic views and ancient cultural landscapes. Here, the folk tale hero, Peer Gynt, found peace and inspiration for many of his imaginative stories and people still find both peace and joy in travelling in these mountains both summer and winter. Our bike tour starts in Øyer, a few kilometres north of Lillehammer, and passes through traditional Norwegian farm landscapes before you reach the mountain areas at the Skeikampen Resort. From there, you follow the Peer Gynt Road to the mountain valley, Espedalen. The area offers varied terrain, you cycle in open high mountain terrain and through old birch- and pine forests with a view of the peaks in Jotunheimen- and Rondane National Park. From Espedalen it is mostly easy cycling towards the Gudbrandsdalen valley. The rest of the trip follows the valley south towards Lillehammer.

This tour has some steep climbs. We recommend an E-bike for those who are not so fit.
