My friends offered me a 5-day gravel trip in Norway with GravelUp. It was a wonderful experience that I highly recommend to all cycling enthusiasts looking for a change of scenery and a good atmosphere. Top-notch organization and super-friendly team. Thank you Thomas G.

I adore GravelUp, simply put. To date, I've had three trips with them, all fantastic client experiences and great places to ride. I will be back for more. Well-thought-out routes, caring and attentive managers and guides, great food, and all about the joy of the sport instead of just watts. Highly recommended!

An Unforgettable Cycling Adventure! I joined as a guide and had the pleasure of five days with great cyclists from US and France, getting to know them and riding the great roads of Norway with them. What Olivier and his team have created is so good, I love the atmosphere!

The photos on the website describing the 5-day adventure in Norway made us want to take part in this trip. The "real" landscapes are even more magical and majestic! Firstly, bravo to Gravel up for all the initial organization, and secondly for their ability to adapt!

Day 1 – Heading North

Welcome to Oslo! We'll pick you up at the train station or the airport around noon, then gather for a friendly welcome drink and a short briefing to kick things off. The journey begins with a gentle warm-up ride through Oslomarka, a vast stretch of wilderness on the edge of the capital. By evening, we reach our first lodge deep in nature and share a first dinner. And just like that, the magic begins.

Day 2 – From Valleys to Peaks

We head into the mountains of Hemsedal, riding in full bikepacking mode. The track leads us through a patchwork of dense forests, red cabins, and peaceful valleys, gaining elevation as the scenery grows wilder. City fades away, and Norwegian nature takes over. In the evening, we reach a mountain refuge and gather around a comforting, locally-inspired dinner. Authenticity at its finest.

Day 3 – Ridges, Lakes & Wide-Open Views

At sunrise, we offer an optional yoga session for those who want to ease into the day. Then it’s time to ride through a series of sparkling lakes, quiet valleys, and high ridgelines. The highlight? Slettefjell Pass, a breathtaking balcony over the surrounding mountains. Every bend in the trail reveals another stunning view. One for the memory books.

Day 4 – Scenic Roads & Nordic Rituals

Our journey continues across the Valdresflye Scenic Route, one of the highest and most iconic parts of the trip. The landscapes here feel otherworldly — dramatic light, raw beauty, and a true sense of solitude. After the ride, we unwind like the locals: a lakeside sauna, a cold plunge (if you dare!), and a festive dinner to wrap up the adventure in style. A pure taste of Norway.

Day 5 – A Gentle Farewell

One last ride, taken at an easy pace, to soak up the silence and the scenery one final time. The forests, the light, the vastness — everything invites reflection. We share a final outdoor lunch, then make our way back. We’ll drop you off at the Oslo train station or airport around 5 PM. Full hearts, open minds. Takk Norge.
