THE BIKE

Purpose-built electric mountainbikes

Rossignol electric mountainbikes with a 625Wh battery and a powerful motor make trips into the forested gravel roads of Nordmarka both accessible and fun, with adjustable seats controlled from the handlebar.

THE TERRAIN

Gravel roads into deep forest

The route follows scenic gravel tracks that thread into Nordmarka, letting riders cover more ground than on foot while staying immersed in forested landscapes.

THE STOPS

Cabin coffee and lunch along the way

Part of the appeal is the freedom to stop at local cabins for coffee and lunch, breaking the ride into relaxed stretches of exploration and refreshment.
