This popular cycling route offers great variety – from steep climbs and winding roads over Fiskestigen, to longer, pleasant stretches with good asphalt and fast descents. The route is equally suitable for electric bikes and racing bikes, and can be ridden as an effective training ride or as a leisurely day trip with stops along the way.
Starting in Åmot town center, follow the pedestrian and cycle path along RV37 towards Hylland before turning off towards Øyfjell at the junction above Hyllandsfoss. Here you’ll find a long uphill climb up Fiskestigen – a steady and demanding climb before the road flattens out at Mjåvasskaret, a good spot for a short break.
The road then winds through open mountain landscapes and past small lakes towards Øyfjell, before continuing towards Austbø and Rauland. From Rauland city center you follow RV37 back to Åmot, with long, nice descents and easy cycling the last part.
The route can be cycled in either direction, depending on the type of challenge you want. For the fitness enthusiasts, there are several Strava segments on the route, while the landscape and views make the ride at least as nice for those who want to take it at a leisurely pace.
