The tour takes place 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) 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 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.
At the last crossing point, it is particularly beautiful and suitable for a rest, to get new energy for the climbs up towards the high mountains again.
Here you pass Augseter on your way to Rognhaugen and towards Steinsetra again.
At the end of the hike, we’ve chosen a short section of trail to avoid a very steep descent, which in turn leads to a very steep hill back up to the car.
The trail is partly paved with wood chips and only 500 meters long, so you save a tough climb at the very end of the trip.
In general, the mountain hikes from Nermo hotel can be used as a framework for several experiences.
They are mostly on gravel roads, but at the same time they go through some of Norway’s finest terrain for trail biking.
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 way marked with bikes in the colors green (easiest), blue, red or the most demanding black.
