All our guests basically stay in double rooms. Most accommodations have en suite bathrooms. in some cases, when there is a large demand for accommodation, you can expect to share a room with others. In that case, we will notify you when ordering.

A DNT cabin is runned by the The Norwegian Trekking Association (DNT). They run more than 550 cabins all over Norway!

Bicycle:
You are welcome to bring your own bike if you have one, or you can rent a bike from us.

All the bikes we rent out are mountain bikes with front dampers that are well adapted to the gravel roads you will be riding on. You can choose between a regular bike or an electric bike. If you want to cycle Mjølkevegen Nord, it is only possible to rent an electric bicycle. Helmet and repair kit are included in the rent. When you have arrived at your last accommodation, we will take care of the bike for you.

Do you have your own bike you want to bring?

It is possible to bring your own bike, subject to free luggage space on the bus. Enter the desired when ordering.

The roads along Mjølkevegen and Tour de Dovre mainly consist of gravel roads with some sections of path and asphalt. We recommend a so-called hardtail, ie a mountain bike with a front damper. We recommend tires with a little width and good studs. Electric bike is incredibly nice to ride Mjølkevegen with, then you get enough energy to enjoy the ride, and the nice surroundings around you. We also recommend having a mini tool set, patchwork for tires, and a mini bike pump. Then you have the opportunity to quickly move on if the injury should occur.

You will need a backpack for the day trips, preferably between 20 and 30 liters. A waterproof “duffel bag” for the rest of the luggage is recommended. The luggage is moved from place to place and may be exposed to rain and other elements during transport.

Some people dream of climbing Norway’s highest mountain or want to climb a spectacular peak that is demanding both technically, physically and mentally. Others want to enjoy the nature experience along nice valleys at a leisurely pace.

There are, of course, big differences in how a hike is experienced. Some have a lot of experience from before, and others may never have gone on similar trips in similar terrain.

We try to grade our trips so that it is easier for you to choose the ones that suit you best. We recommend that you read the text carefully and consider whether you can handle the challenges that lie ahead.

Tip: feel free to train in advance – if the body and muscles get load and training similar to what you are going to do, then it can withstand more, you can enjoy the ride even better and you will not be injured so quickly. It does not have to be advanced – walks with ascent, and self-weight strength training – and you get far!

Easy:

On these trips you can decide the length yourself. Anyone with normal physical shape can participate without any problems. The trips are usually around 2-4 hours. The terrain is easy to walk, and without major climbs. The trip does not require any special equipment.

Medium:

On these trips there is mountainous terrain, and there can be long ascents – and descents. The trips are usually around 5-7 hours. It can be a watch and demanding surface, which requires that you are in normal to good physical shape.

Demanding:

On these trips we spend a lot of time in demanding terrain, and there are long ascents – and descents. The trips are usually around 6-8 hours. These trips can also involve crossing glaciers, and rappelling, this requires that the person participating in the trip has some previous experience, and is in good physical shape.

A lot has happened in cycling equipment lately and electric bikes have revolutionary cycling. Electric bicycles make the trips that have been demanding for many accessible to most people. We see that most people ride our rides with an electric bike today. Then they get a better experience, and can enjoy nature in a better way. Those who ride a regular bicycle are often well trained and are used to riding many kilometers on a bicycle.

Easy:

Suitable for cyclists who are used to hilly routes with some slopes and climbs. You cycle on good paths and roads and you do not have to have long experience with cycling. These rides are suitable for cyclists with normal good condition. Here you can also cycle with the whole family, a family-friendly trip. The length of the trips you can vary between 25 and 45 km. If you have an electric bike, you can extend the trip or stop more along the way, e.g. swim in a fresh mountain lake, visit a stall, or just enjoy the view a little extra.

Medium:

These are longer and hilly routes with tougher climbs of several hours duration, and most often multi-day trips. The lengths of these vary from 30 – 60 km. There are good roads and trails, so no technical knowledge is required to cycle these trips. Electric bicycles will make, especially the longest climbs, less crucial for the cycling experience.

Demanding:

More technically demanding cycling with long climbs. You will cycle mainly on trails. Steeper downhills provide greater speed and you should have some prior knowledge of trail biking. A good physical shape is required here, for a good experience. The lengths of these trips can vary between short and steep to long stages on the barren rock. With an electric bike here, you will have more profit for the more technically demanding parties.

We recommend that you have experience of being in the mountains, and have good physical shape before you go on a demanding trip. There are long day stages, occasionally demanding terrain, and the weather can change quickly from cool breezes to blizzards. If you are unsure, feel free to contact us.

We offer different categories on our hiking tours. The tours are adapted to different levels, so you can find the tour that suits you best. The tours take you on everything from the finest trails, to the most beautiful valleys and summit hikes, with unforgettable views.

• The white route is best suited for beginners. The rides are nice and short, with low climbs, and the views are still amazing!
• The green route is adapted for walkers with somewhat more experience. The trips are longer, and some are also day trips.
• The red route is challenging and has more summit trips than the green route. All trips are day trips.
• The black route is a demanding multi-day trip. It includes two very demanding, guided summit hikes, where extra equipment will be needed to reach the peaks.
