The Tour de Dovre is described as one of Norway’s most beautiful bike rides.
The entire Tour de Dovre is a ‘Dovrefjell round-trip’, between three national parks. We guarantee fantastic views and experiences!
The route can be completed with as many overnight stays and detours as you want. You can adjust the length of the day stages, and even get an e-bike to help you along the way.
We have examples of different route lengths with corresponding prices, and especially recommend the Grand Tour de Dovre – where visitors get the maximum out of experiences along the route!
Musk oxen are the beasts of Dovrefjell – a pleasant giant if you keep at a respectful distance. Local guides can provide you with a fantastic wildlife experience in the high mountains!
The Tour de Dovre runs through idyllic Grimsdalen valley. In autumn, visitors can experience the wonderfully colored high mountains. Summer offers a bustling life of grazing animals.
Grimsdalen valley has many nature trails where you can get better acquainted with the area. The Grimsa river meanders through the valley and tempts visitors with great fishing opportunities or even a fresh mountain dip!
Dovre is conveniently located between four national parks; Reinheimen, Dovrefjell Sunndalsfjella and Rondane. Along the Tour de Dovre, visitors cycle between three of these, and also get some good views into Reinheimen.
The national parks are home to a lot of great nature and diverse wildlife. From the saddle of your bike, your senses are exposed to the wonderful natural surroundings.
Between Dombås and Dovre, you cycle along quiet county roads and through our beautiful cultural landscape. A fantastic contrast to the high mountains and peaks when cycling past Hjerkinn and through Grimsdalen valley.
Our hosts are here for you! When you arrive after a long day on your bike, we promise to serve fantastic food and quenching beverages. Several establishments serve local food, such as plump mountain fish, moose from Dovrefjell or cheese made in Dovre.
There is a lot to experience along the Tour de Dovre, whether it be in the evening or when taking a break from the saddle. Local short trips and nature trails, musk ox safaris, Avdemsbue, wildlife safaris, horseback riding and much more! Feel free to ask us for advice on where to go.
The Tour de Dovre can be completed in three or more days. Here is an example of what a trip would cost including accommodation and food.

Suggestions for detours and experiences:
From Trolltun, visitors cycle the National Park Trail to Furuhaugli. This runs parallel to the E6 highway and is a great adapted gravel road without motorized traffic.
Suggestions for detours and experiences:
This is a day where you can take a break from your bike! From Furuhaugli, visitors go on a musk ox safari with local guides.
Your luggage will be transported to Hjerkinn Fjellstue while you meet the King of Dovrefjell. Transport to the starting point for musk ox safaris and to Hjerkinn Fjellstue afterwards.
Suggestions for detours and experiences:
You will be doing some pedaling today! After a hearty breakfast at Hjerkinn Fjellstue, the journey continues via Kvitdalen valley and to Folldal Mines. Here, you get to experience a guided tour while your e-bike is being charged, or you can just rest your legs if you are cycling in the traditional way.
The trip continues to Grimsdalshytta cabin, where a hearty three-course meal and a good bed await.
The bike ride from Grimsdalshytta cabin to Toftemo Tourist Station is a more tranquil trip. Enjoy beautiful Grimsdalen valley before the downhill trip all the way to Dovre. A hearty dinner will be waiting for you at Toftemo – but there is still time to explore the area.
Suggestions for detours and experiences:
On the final day, visitors get to experience a unique and beautiful cultural landscape.
From Dovre, you cycle along quiet county roads to Lesja and the renowned Avdemsbue. There are a lot of tasty things to choose from for your lunch – everything from local pizza to freshly made sour cream waffles and much more.
