A brilliant, long day trip where we start at lake Jotkavann on the Finnmarksvidda mountain plateau and bike all the way down to Glød HQ in the Alta Valley.
Join us on one of the most beautiful mountain biking trips you can do in Alta. Experience a rolling plateau landscape during the first part of the adventure, followed by an enjoyable descent into the Alta Valley and wonderful single track along the eastern bank of the Alta River to Glød. We make a stop along the way to enjoy lunch, coffee brewed on the campfire and have an enjoyable time in the heathlands.
Many people associate Alta and Finnmark with mountain plateaus, rivers and fjord. On this trip, you will experience all of these.
On the first part of the adventure, we follow ancient, traditional mountain routes that were used in days gone by people travelling towards Karasjok or into the mountains to hunt, fish, trap or pick berries. These follow the level of the terrain and in many cases are dry and very pleasant to bike on.
The adventure continues down into Alta Valley past the largest cabin area in Alta, Bollo, and then down to Alta River at Sorrisniva. The section along the eastern bank of the Alta River is considered one of the most beautiful mountain bike rides in Alta. The path is technically challenging in some places, and everyone will need to wheel their bike in certain parts.
On arrival at Glød HQ, the sauna will be hot.
With a total of approx. 40-45 km and netto 350 vertical metres down, there will be plenty of flow!
Departures from 15 June to 1 October.
