E-biken rundgang - anfänger

Beautiful nature in the fertile and sheltered Alta Valley and the low rolling Finnmarksvidda mountain plateau landscape with rivers and lakes​,​ cloudberries​,​ the Midnight Sun and reindeer! And not least wonderful single and double tracks leading to the traditional mountain lodges on the mountain plateau. On arrival at the lodge​,​ we enjoy a relaxing sauna followed by good food accompanied by a glass of wine after hours on the bike seat! The Finnmarksvidda mountain plateau covers a huge area​,​ so we need to count on relatively long days of up to 6-7 hours including a lunch break​,​ in at times demanding terrain. In brief​,​ we need to cross some stones​,​ marshlands and many creeks. In general​,​ this trip is suited for people who have ridden in such terrain before. Cool accommodation Accommodation during the trip is included in the tour price and will be in the Aurora Canvas Dome in Alta and at the Jotka Fjellstue (mountain lodge). You will experience the best of both worlds – unique glamping in the pine forest in Alta and the historic Jotka Fjellstue mountain lodge​,​ which was built in the mid-19th century to enable state officials to travel year-round before the road network was developed. If you want to sauna to soften up your muscles after a long day​,​ this is also possible. Meals All meals during the trip (from lunch on day 1 to lunch on day 3) are included. Beer​/​wine and soft drinks are additional. Our guides are also hobby gourmets​,​ so it’s not out of the question that a delicacy or two will be prepared on an open fire at lunch time! The common denominator for the meals you will be served is that they will give you a taste of the best Finnmark has to offer and the ingredients will be locally sourced. What more can you wish for? Beer​/​wine and soft drinks are additional. Bike and equipment A full suspension bike is preferable​,​ ideally a 29er. The tyres should have relatively thick tread pattern and reinforced sidewalls​,​ a la Schwalbe Hans Dampf and Maxxis Ardent​,​ with good volume like 2.25″ or more. If you don’t have a full suspension bike​,​ but would like to try this trip​,​ you may rent a suitable bike from us. Read more about bike rental here. Whether you choose to ride a regular or electric full suspension bike is completely up to you. Both options are fine. If you want to rent a bike from us​,​ please notify us when you book what type of bike you prefer. Repairs and local guide You will be joined on this adventure by a local cycling guide who has the main responsibility for safety and navigation. In addition to knowing the Finnmarksvidda mountain plateau well after many trips there​,​ the guide is also a technically competent mountain biker and can repair many of the eventualities that can occur on such an expedition. If you require extra accommodation before or after the trip​,​ we can help you to arrange this.
