Lofoten has a great variety of mountain bike trails and stunning views on every corner. This is a great mountain bike tour on a flowy trail with beautiful views. The top plateau section offers scenic 360-degree views. You will see a fjords with hundreds of little islands and just above it steep mountains rising right from the ocean. The trail is very enjoyable for intermediate skilled riders as well as an experienced advanced rider will very enjoy it. The plateau section is fast, flowy with several fun obstacles followed by a more technical rocky section. The very bottom of the hill is through a forest with some rocks and roots to spicy the experience but it is still manageable and fun to ride for an intermediate skill level mountain biker.
