Getting there

Without a car

Reach Otta or Lom by the main available train or bus connection, then continue to the start of “Norwegian National Cycle Route No. 6” by local bus, shuttle, taxi or on foot as appropriate. Check seasonal timetables before travelling. This is a point-to-point route, so arrange the return from the finish in advance.

By car

Drive via the E6, Rv15 and seasonal mountain roads toward the start of “Norwegian National Cycle Route No. 6”. Continue only on roads open to private vehicles and complete restricted or rough sections on foot or by an authorised transfer. Leaving a car at the start does not solve the return journey.

Parking

Use an official car park at a mountain lodge, ferry pier or signed trailhead. Keep access roads, barriers and emergency routes clear.

Difficult sections and safety
