Meet us at our designated bus departure point at Oslo Bus Station and embark on Valdresekspressen. Please make sure to arrive at least 15 minutes before the departure time. Our comfortable and scenic bus journey will take you through a picturesque cultural landscape for approximately 5 hours, offering stunning views along the way.

Upon reaching Sletterust, our friendly staff will be eagerly awaiting your arrival. They have meticulously prepared your rental bike, equipped with all the necessary gear, including a mandatory helmet and lights. Our knowledgeable team will also assist you in adjusting the bicycle to your preferred comfort level, ensuring a perfect fit so that you’re ready for an exhilarating bike ride along the Tunnel Road and “1000-meteren.”

The biking tour is expected to last around 2-2.5 hours, providing you with plenty of time to enjoy the magnificent views and immerse yourself in the surrounding scenery at your own pace. The total distance covered during the tour is approximately 24 kilometers. Along the route, you will experience the breathtaking hairpin bends of “Tusenmeteren” (the thousand-meter road) as you descend along the mountainside. It is important to note that this section is steep, so it is crucial to maintain a low speed. Once you reach approximately 400 meters above sea level, you will join the main road (FV 53) and follow it down to the village. The road passes through three short, but dark tunnels, so please ensure you stay on your side of the road and maintain a controlled speed.

At the end of the biking tour, please return the bike and helmet at Årdal Tourist Information in Øvre Årdal before 6 p.m (18:00). After you have returned your bike at the Tourist Information, you will have some free time before the departure of the bus (taxi on Saturdays) to your hotel for the night.

Upon arriving at the hotel, a delicious three-course meal awaits you, followed by the opportunity to explore the surrounding area or simply enjoy the peaceful atmosphere in the hotel garden with a refreshing beverage in hand.

The following day, you are free to choose either our early morning or afternoon departure with the bus back to Oslo. Please inform us of your preferred departure time. Please note that it is not possible to change the ticket after we have sent you the voucher for the entire journey.

Please take note of this information to ensure a smooth and timely journey.

All necessary equipment are included, but like all other activities, it is important to dress according to the Norwegian temperatures.

You will be sent a packing list when you have booked the trip.
