Day 1, Arrival Dombås
By public transport: Trains from Trondheim or Oslo
By own car: You can park your car at Dombås ski lifts, next to Trolltun Gjestegård, or behind Dombås church.
If you arrive early, we recommend a tour along the cycling trail from Dombås to Bjorli. The trail is well signposted and mostly follows gravel roads and forest trails on the south side of the Lesja Valley.
In the evening, you can join a guided moose safari at Dovrefjel - with an electric bike.
Accommodation at Trolltun Gjestegård (Guesthouse)
Day 2 , Bike Dombås - Hjerkinn, 32 km
Today's stage follows the National Park Trail across the Dovrefjell plateaux with no motorised vehicles, except E-bikes. The newly constructed cycle path was officially opened in September 2017. This is a narrow gravel road that starts in the center of Dombås and winds uphill the first 5-6 km and then flattens. Experience the rounded peaks, wide plains, and moorlands typical of the south-eastern area of Dovre. At Vålåsjøen lake, you can stop for a rest and maybe take a swim.
Accommodation at Hjerkinn Fjellstue

Day 4, Bike Hjerkinn - Grimsdalen, 54 km
Between Hjerkinn and Folldal, you can choose the main road or some local, quiet dirt roads. In Folldal, we recommend taking a slightly steep detour and visit the old Folldal Mines.
From Folldal, it is slightley uphill all the way to Grimsdalshytta Lodge. Along the way, you get a glimpse of the majestic peaks of Rondane National Park to the south. We recommend a detour to Bergseng Seter, an old summer farm with fantastic location and views.
Accommodation at Grimsdalshytta Lodge
Day 5, Bike Grimsdalen - Dombås, 39 km
A beautiful trip through what is described as Norway's most beautiful alpine pasture valley. Slightly uphill the first 10 kilometres, then a last tough hill towards the highest point at 1174 m. Suddenly, the valley opens to the dizzyingly beautiful cultural landscape of Dovre and Gudbrandsdalen. If you slow down a little, you can enjoy the view of Jotunheimen-, Dovre- and Rondane National Parks. Down the valley, you pass the Budsjord Pilgrimage, with over 17 historic buildings. The farm is open for guided tours and dining in the summer season. The bicycle tour ends in Dombås.
Departure from Dombås by own car or train from Dombås station.
