At Hafjell Bike Park, excitement meets the mountains. The park offers downhill cycling – a thrilling and increasingly popular activity suitable for anyone who can ride a bike. With 15 trails ranging from green to black and covering a total of 28 kilometres, Hafjell is perfect for both beginners and experienced riders.

In addition to downhill adventures, Hafjell also offers excellent opportunities for cross-country and trail cycling. A gondola lift takes you up to Mosetertoppen, where you can enjoy lunch at Restaurant Skavlen while taking in the breathtaking mountain views.

For those who prefer hiking, a trip to Hafjelltoppen is ideal for families with children or anyone looking for a shorter mountain walk. The trail to the summit is about 2 km long and takes around 30 minutes to reach the viewpoint. Start at Pellestova, following the signposted path just to the right of the gate.

On clear days, you can see across to the Olympic icon Fakkelmannen, as well as Skeikampen, Jotunheimen, and Rondane. Whether you’re biking or hiking, Hafjell offers the perfect mix of adventure, nature and unforgettable views.
