Electric Bike tour Aursjøveien

This is a full-day bike tour using electric bicycles along the spectacular Aursjøveien. This road is famous for being tougher than Trollstigen, but it is perfect for biking. Very little vehicle traffic, amazing scenery and some nice leg burning up and downhills. A hidden secret, we make available for you!

We start at Sunndalsøra, and the first part of the day is uphill through the valley "Litldalen". When we reach the top, we follow the gravel road all the way into the mountain plateau and have lunch at Torbuvollan mountain farm. 

After lunch, we continue on with some easy biking through fairly flat plateau terrain with beautiful natural surroundings. After crossing the plateau, we descend all the way down to Eikesdalen. Here we will make a stop at Aurstupet and the waterfall called Mardalsfossen. You will be picked up at Mardalsfossen, for transport back to the starting point in Sunndalsøra.

Location

We will meet in Sunndalsøra at 9:00 AM, for a quick check of the bike and our equipment. The tour starts from Sunndalsøra, with a bike up the dramatic valley of Litldalen. We will make several stops along the road towards Torbuvollan and our lunch stop. The climb from sea level to 860 meters over sea level can be challenging, but luckily we have the help of our electric bikes and we will move slowly and consistently up the hills. After lunch, you will continue biking along the plateau, before beginning the descent to Finnset in the valley of Eiksdalen. We will make several stops along the road, and if the weather is nice, we could take a swim in the natural swimming holes, river potholes, close by. Aurstupet is an important stop. This is a viewpoint from where you have almost a 1000 m view down to the valley floor. This is a popular location for base jumping. Continuing on our journey, We will keep our eyes peeled for possible reindeer near the road. Since we are descending all the way to sea level again, it is important to take it slowly and correctly use your brakes (and breaks). The guide will make sure everything is OK for everyone. If there is still time, we can take a quick hike to the waterfall Mardalsfossen in Eikesdalen. We will then be picked up and transfer back to Sunndalsøra. We will be at Sunndalsøra around 5:00 PM.
