Valdres Cultural Park

This is not a route for wimps. The title Extreme is not scribbled on with a marker; it is earned. This is a brutal, unpredictable journey through the heart of the Valdres Nature and Culture Park, where the Norwegian wilderness does not forgive mistakes. Beginners have no place here. This is the territory of the seasoned rider, or of teams that have to pull each other through the misery with winches and pure manpower. Unless you are an absolute daredevil who blindly trusts your own adrenaline and reflexes.

The reward? It is phenomenal. You race closely along fierce, raging rivers and mirror-smooth lakes, surrounded by views that are so insane they take your breath away. But do not let your attention slip for a second. The landscape can change in the blink of an eye from an idyllic picture to a technical battle.

Square on the footpegs. Hands crammed around the handlebars. One moment you’re fighting your way up against steep slopes, where loose stones shoot out from under your tires like bullets. The next moment, the ground turns into treacherous, deep 'loose' sand that wants to suck your machine down— a physical draining struggle that demands the utmost from your machine and your concentration.

And just when you think your arms are giving out, the track transforms. Smooth asphalt twists in a mad succession of hairpin turns down into the depths. The route is deliberately plotted so extremely curvy that you seek out angles that make your heart pound in your throat. It is the ultimate test, a rollercoaster of pure adrenaline for the true enthusiast. Do you dare to take it on?
