Mjølkevegen – a cycling adventure
Looking for an epic long week-end in Norway or a short adventure to include some active days by bike into your vacation? This one might be something for you then. We combined together some of the most scenic roads from the Northern Part of the Mjølkevegen, which is one of Norway’s most beautiful cycling routes. From your saddle and from the boat, you enjoy stunning landscapes while surrounded by the wild mountains of Jotunheimen, home of the giants.
The route covers approximately 90 kilometres in total by bike. The distances per day are doable for most of the travellers and you have time to take brakes during the day. The second day by bike has quite a long climb that can be challenging. Depending on how used you are to cycling, you can use an e-bike to make the trip more comfortable.
