We recommend that you drive up Lie-Hornsjøvegen to the parking lot at Lisetra, almost 850 meters above sea level, to get a good starting point. After 7-800 meters, take the pleasant farm road towards Rognhaugen and on towards Gullbringen. From here, the terrain is hilly through several mountain farms with the beautiful Augseter as a highlight, with a beautiful view down towards the lake Augan. If you're lucky, you'll see both grazing animals and wild animals along the way. There are quite a few moose in the area and we encountered both char and grouse on our hike.
There is a restaurant at Hornsjø Høyfjellshotell, but check opening hours! Close by is also Hornsjø Seter, where you can experience summertime mountain farming. Check www.facebook.com/hornsjoenseter. From here you can follow Lie-Hornsjøvegen, but we have chosen parallel side roads on both sides of the main road all the way to Øvre Moksjøen. A little heavier and more challenging perhaps, but very pleasant.
From Øvre Moksjøen, follow Lie-Hornsjøvegen back to the parking lot. If you're not too tired after the hike, you might be tempted to cycle down one of the trails in Hafjell Bike Park.
In that case, green trails 7 and 16 and blue trails 5, 12 and 14 are exciting options. The way they are built makes them challenging for everyone based on their own skill and speed.
In general, the mountain tours from Nermo Hotel can be used as a framework for multiple experiences. They are mostly on gravel roads, but at the same time they pass through some of Norway's finest terrain for trail cycling. On our tours, you'll find everything from fantastic flow trails to more demanding trails for the experienced. Check the web or signs along the road marked with bikes in the colors green (easiest), blue, red or the most demanding black. HAVE A GOOD TRIP!
