National park road over Dovrefjell

The hiking and cycling route over Dovrefjell starts at Dombås and winds 32 graveled kilometers over the mountain. It can be cycled both ways, but if you cycle from Hjerkinn, the terrain is somewhat easier.

The newly built cycle path takes you to musk oxen, Snøhetta mountain and the world-famous Viewpoint Snøhetta. The cycle path opened in 2017 and is in itself a scenic velostrada, free from motorized traffic. With good public transport links at both ends. But you have to cross the E6 twice. The cycle path is marked from Dombås to Hjerkinn and can be cycled both ways.

The national park road is a great day trip no matter what shape you're in. You can easily cycle back and forth in one day. If you're content to cycle one way, you'll find a train station at both ends. And cycling on the train isn't always easy, so if you hire a bike from Dovrefjell Adventures you can leave it at Hjerkinn and take the train home again.

Along the route there are several opportunities for a coffee and waffle stop. Trolltun, Furuhauglie and Hageseter offer cycling guests both food and accommodation. And if you don't think 32 kilometers is enough, how about cycling the entire Dovre round? A round trip of approx. 130 kilometers, where you can experience three national parks: Dovrefjell-Sunndalsfjella, Dovre and Rondane.
