SCANDINAVIA MOUNTAIN BIKE CONDITIONS
When chosing to travel to Scandinavia, you should really look beyond the fact that the mountains are more like rolling hills than mountains. The BikeParks and their facilities are
great - a trip
to Scandinavia offers something of real substance for every mountain biker. If you are passionate about riding and traveling- Scandinavia is well worth a visit - June brings the summer weather.
1) Are
Although this is Sweden's most advanced resort in terms of infrastructure, it retains a mellow, friendly feel. The town is situated above the train station, making for easy access, and most accommodation is within close proximity to the lifts, and only a short walk from the station and centre.
2) Frognersteren
The trails at Frognersetern are just minutes on the tram from the capital, Oslo, making this a unique and interesting weekend break or a great riding stop en route to the country's biggest bike park in Hafjell, a further 2 hour drive.
3) Geilo Pink Park
Like many of the Scandinavian resorts, Geilo has an almost otherworldly beauty when the light is right. It is one of the oldest winter destinations in Norway and is now turning it's hand to mountain biking.
4) Hafjell
Through the development of the BikePark and building the Gondola - Hafjell has turned into a year round resort with a wide specter of summer activities in the lower valley and in higher terrain.
5) Oppdal
Considered the 2nd best bike park in Norway, Oppdal BikePark is made up of 2 good 'areas'... Hovden & Vangsliaand. It is also Norway´s first official Kona Bike Park - Oppdal is definately worth a visit!
