Named after the legendary hero of Ibsen’s famous play, the Peer Gynt Loop offers a rare combination of challenging terrain, breathtaking vistas, and quiet roads that feel tailor-made for adventure.
Ibsen drew inspiration from Norwegian folklore and the dramatic natural scenery of Gudbrandsdalen and surrounding highlands, which serve as the backdrop for much of Peer Gynt’s story.
The Peer Gynt Road (Peer Gynt Vegen) and the Peer Gynt Festival, both located in this region, celebrate the folklore, culture, and landscapes that inspired Ibsen. It’s a place where fiction and reality intertwine – where the dramatic mountains, vast plateaus, and tranquil valleys embody the spirit of exploration, legend, and the timeless beauty of Norway.
And the best way to explore it is on two wheels.
Over eight unforgettable days, you’ll ride through some of Norway’s most striking scenery.
The rolling hills of Gålå offer views that stretch to the distant peaks of Jotunheimen, while Espedalen, known as “Elgland,” introduces you to a region frequented by moose, with its lakes, forests, and high mountains exuding an untamed charm.
You’ll pass glacial lakes, climb gentle ridges, and descend into valleys dotted with farmsteads, where Norway’s rural charm comes alive. The terrain varies from smooth, flowing sections to demanding climbs that test your mettle, always rewarding you with scenery that feels pulled from the pages of a storybook.
Every day brings a new highlight, whether it’s the thrill of a descent into a narrow gorge or the serenity of cycling along the sparkling waters of Lake Losna.
And to ensure you can truly enjoy the experience, we’ll take care of every detail. From booking cozy accommodations, creating a comprehensive digital guidebook with local recommendations and GPS routes to providing constant round-the-clock support on your tour, we make it our mission to iron out the logistics for an unforgettable cycling holiday.

I found this place with a simple Google search, and I never could’ve expected the custom experience I received. They provided options to help my husband and I hone in on exactly what we wanted to do for our honeymoon. We had perfectly curated GPS-lead rides all across the country, they booked all of our hotels, and planned all of our transportation. Every place that we went was so beautiful. I’m so grateful that we found this company to help us plan our honeymoon, couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

I was able to tailor a bike tour itinerary along the Adriatic coast that suited our group during the shoulder season. We added individual pre and post-trip activities which went smoothly. Our trip included stops in Italy, Slovenia and Croatia. The trip planner, guide and support team were great.
I would highly recommend anyone doing this tour take the e-bike option. There were only 3 of us on our tour who completed this on regular bikes. Four others who started out on regular bikes swapped over to e-bikes after the first day. The climbs are long and steep. There is pretty much only up or down, not much flat or undulating road. It is doable, but very challenging. If you are on an e-bike then this also helps with the group staying together and no-one having to wait too long for others to catch up. The bikes were really good and had great gearing that was capable of handling the steeper climbs. When we booked we were unaware that we would be riding in a group of 20plus at all time. Thankfully our group had prior group riding experience but we did observe other large groups with less than desirable riding behaviours.Others in our group were extremely understanding and supportive. Our guide, David, was very adamant about staying safe on the road. He was flexible with the itinerary and made changes to suit the weather conditions and to ensure we got in as much riding as possible. He was vey knowledgeable about Croatian history and agriculture and taught us lots about the country he is so passionate about. Our captain, Tolma, was also amazing and along with his awesome crew, made our cruise an enjoyable experience.
