Rent E-bike - 3 hours

Skjolden serves as an excellent starting point for cycling trips to several nearby attractions.

We are located at the entrance to the two valleys of Mørkridsdalen and Fortunsdalen, and at the beginning of “The Romantic Road”, which follows the fjord towards UNESCO Urnes stave church.

Rent e-bikes from us and explore the area on your own as part of an active holiday!

The Mørkrid Valley

– The Gateway to Breheimen National Park

Known as the gateway to Breheimen National Park, the Mørkrid valley (Mørkridsdalen) has no shortage of beautiful sights to see. This valley is full of lush forests, great waterfalls and steep mountain walls on both sides. Along the road you will experience a traditional farm landscape where you might see sheep and cows grazing, and you can enjoy the peace and quiet while listening to all the birds that inhabit the area.

With a limited incline (2-3 small hills, rest is flat), it is a great place to cycle both for the younger and older members of the family. Ending at a dead-end and where the national park starts, there is very little traffic on the road, and no tunnels you need to go through.

The Romantic Road

– A unique cycling experience in the heart of Norway

Receiving its name from the important role it played during the era of romanticism, the road between Skjolden and Urnes is full of beautiful fjord views that has inspired many of our nation’s painters. On this route you will come across historical buildings, traditional fruit orchards, and you can enjoy the view of the 229m tall waterfall Feigefossen.

The Romantic Road is an asphalt road shared with other traffic, however the main traffic is on the other side of the Lustrafjord, and you could expect to meet traffic every 5-10 minutes. There are in total three tunnels (300 m + 850 m + 350 m) with no lights, so it’s important you ask for a bike-light from us when picking up the bikes.
