100 % Gravel Adventure

A 100% GRAVEL ADVENTURE

Head to Norway, a true sanctuary for lovers of nature and wide-open spaces. With its majestic fjords, boreal forests, and suspended valleys, the country is perfect for gravel biking and relaxed exploration. Discover Nordmarka, a wild expanse on the outskirts of Oslo, where every trail invites you to disconnect and soak in the scenery.

On this journey, follow the Mjölkvegen (Milky Way), the Northern Milky Way, a legendary gravel route. Ride through historic farms and breathtaking landscapes, tracing the paths of milk collectors and the herds that climb to the highland pastures in summer. Pedal in their footsteps, through deep forests and awe-inspiring Nordic panoramas.

✨ The team’s favorite: relaxing moments around a fire or in a traditional Norwegian sauna.

Whether you’re a gravel enthusiast, a fan of active getaways, or simply looking for a nature escape in the fresh air, this long weekend cycling trip is an invitation to discover the richness of this region.

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!

Your adventure, day by day.

Stages, landscapes, highlights: discover the program that awaits you. This itinerary may be adjusted depending on weather or logistics, to ensure the best possible experience.

Norvège gravel

Day 1 – Heading North ~ 40km / 700M+

We’ll meet you at the train station or airport around noon, before kicking off the adventure with a welcoming drink and an introductory briefing. The day continues with an orientation ride through Nordmarka, this vast wild territory on the outskirts of the capital — perfect for getting your legs moving and soaking up the Scandinavian atmosphere. By the end of the day, we head to our accommodation in the heart of nature for a first shared dinner. The magic of the North begins from the very first moment.

Roadbook Norway Explorer GravelUp - Day 2

Day 2 – From Valleys to Peaks ~ 70km / 1200M+ (Pick-up van or possible 30 km extension)

We leave our stopover hotel in Hallongsdall to reach Hamsedal, the first ski resort marking our adventure. But first, we climb a highland plateau—a first immersion into the raw and majestic Norwegian wilderness.

By the Hemsil River, we pause for a picnic to recharge before tackling the next plateau. Deep forests, sparkling lakes, and endless Scandinavian panoramas accompany every pedal stroke.

The day ends in an extraordinary setting: a yoga-focused hotel nestled by a majestic lake and surrounded by towering peaks. Here, nature becomes our sanctuary, and every moment invites contemplation and serenity.

Roadbook Norway Explorer GravelUp - Day 3

Day 3 – Ridges, Lakes & Wide-Open Views ~ 60km - 1400M+

At daybreak, a yoga session is offered for those who wish to stretch gently before hitting the road. Today’s route winds between sparkling lakes, silent valleys, and towering ridges.

The highlight: the Slettefjell Pass, a true balcony overlooking the surrounding mountains. At every turn, grand panoramas unfold in the heart of pristine nature—truly a day to remember.

For the evening base camp, welcome to Gronole, a family-run residence in the heart of Norway, managed by two brothers with strong personalities. Let yourself be charmed by its traditional architecture, warm hospitality, and dinners prepared with passion, for an unforgettable local experience.

Norway gravel

Day 4 – Scenic Roads & Nordic Rituals ~ 90km - 1400M+

We continue our journey along the Mjölkvegen, the legendary Milky Way once traveled by milk collectors moving from pasture to pasture. Every pedal stroke on this five-star gravel route immerses us in breathtaking Nordic landscapes, from lush valleys to majestic peaks.

The highlight of the day: climbing the Valdresflye, one of the highest points of our trip. Lunar-like panoramas, striking light, and the unique feeling of being alone in the world accompany every moment. After the effort comes relaxation: a lakeside sauna, a daring plunge into icy waters for the bravest.

Tonight, we park our bikes at Grethe’s family-run hotel, near a small local ski resort. Here, you can enjoy the indoor pool or simply admire the valley and mountains you’ve just traversed—a true sanctuary to end a day rich in emotions and Nordic landscapes.

Day 5 – A Gentle Farewell ~ 30km - 450M+

For this final ride, we take a leisurely pace to fully savor every moment of this Nordic escape. The forests, the low sunlight, and the endless landscapes invite quiet contemplation. After a shared lunch in the heart of nature, it’s time to head back. We’ll accompany you to Oslo’s train station or airport around 5 PM, hearts light and minds full of memories. Takk Norge.
