Peer Gynt Gravel Loop

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.
