The hike is in the mountains and we recommend that you take the car up to get a good start. Drive north towards Tretten and up Mitdbygdsveien past Korsbakken (toll road) and up to Steinsetra for parking. From here it's easy terrain and you'll be well above the tree line, with lovely views north over Brettdalsvatnet lake and towards Rondane in good weather.

You pass Akksjøsetra after about 10 km and from here it's mostly downhill until you cross the Åsta river, first to the east and then back to the west. The last crossing point is particularly beautiful and ideal for a rest to re-energize for the climbs back up to the high mountains. Here you pass Augseter on your way to Rognhaugen and back towards Steinsetra. At the end of the hike, we have chosen a short section of trail to avoid a very steep descent that leads to a very steep hill back up to the car. The path is partially paved with wood chips and only 500 meters long, which saves you a tough climb at the very end of the hike.

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!
