Views from the gravel road are amazing and shouldn't be missed but are there more tire issues than usually experienced? Some gnarly rocks on the road.

you missed the chance to use dovregubbens hall music man. Epic troll music

❤❤❤❤😊

What hotel are you referencing in the beginning? It looks amazing!

Have you tried to cycle the old «Kongevegen over filefjell»? I know its not a continuous stretch of road, but its really beautiful.

Pirates ARE amazing! lol

What a beautiful country we have. One thing is clear i have to explore my country before it,s to late.🙂

I didn't think about this route as a day ride, I'll definitely try it next time I'm visiting family there. Did you try riding the other Peer Gynt road that starts from Tretten/Svingvoll? Nice video

Seriously, under KZfaq channel, I love your content and this video amazing.

So nice. Brings back memories from when i did the same loop many years ago, Actually, I biked from Lillehammer up on the west side of Gudbrandsdalen, part of which is also Peer Gynt Seterveg, then dropped down to Vinstra and up on the east side where you filmed. Beautiful

This is another great video of beautiful Norway, and I understand that you are trying to show these routes in the best light to entice people to actually come and ride them, but I miss Moaning Matthew. A jovial comment about sheep in the road, and the smallest mention of the plague of annoying flies, Moaning Matthew would have had more to say about this, and on top of having to do the hill climb as the first effort of the day!

What an Intro - very good

When you think you've seen the most beautiful landscapes and valleys in Norway, there are always more and more to see. The areas with the gravel roads looks and sounds so peaceful after living and working in Toronto, Washington D.C. Baltimore etc vicinities.

Amazing as always. Love your videos

Next time try Grimsdalen. Folldal to Dovre or the other way.

Look amazing Mathew and seems perfect weather for long ride. Which month this ride was done? Love and thanks for sharing ❤

Before starting in Vinstra, do the Jotunheimvegen. So that you can arrive in Skåbu, drink some water, then enjoy the crazy long slow descent to Vinstra. One of the most fun of the tour that Matthew helped plan a couple years back.

Lovely. Thanks.

of course I've heard the flute melody. but for the life of me can't recall where .. now I won't sleep tonight. thx very much. mega vid tho ❤

Just love your videos. Never gonna do them by bicycling, maybye by motorbike or a car, but I still love your videos.

Absolutely stunning! Can’t wait to visit Lofoten myself.

OMG! Loved this video! Thank you, Matthew!

A week or two before you posted this, i finalised my route planning for my Norway trip and this loop was day 5. It was good, though i have preferred most of my other rides. I started at Ådneram and the long drop to Lauvvik is pretty, but I'd climbed up to Folgefonna glacier the day before so it had a lot to live up to! The ferry ride was lovely. I rode around in circles around Lysebotn to warm up again and enjoyed the climb. The remaining 20km back to Ådneram were stunning but the traffic was hideous.

On the Russian side, going toward Murmansk, you have two military checkpoints, and then a rest stop in between them. It's pretty uneventful. That as of 2019, they might have more military checkpoints now.

There is actually a triathlon ThorXtri that starts with the swim in Lysefjorden, bikes up the climb and then along the Suleskard road. There is also a swimrun named Rockman, funnily enough, that swims and runs around the Lysefjorden. So your suggestion that rockman would be at home there is most definitely true

great video super route Mr Norway. your films get better each time you produce one.

Awesome! Something to add to the to-do list. Did you start from Gudvangen the same day or did you stay at Stalheim hotel?

Matthew the Best video ever! 😊 So much inspiration for escape from day to day life. Please keep going.

Taking my bikepacking setup on this soon. Did you feel your bike was safe overnight? Would you recommend locking it or is it secured away from public? Thank you!

Thanks for documenting this, yet another great video. Can’t wait to try this one myself!

fantastic content as always, appreciate the shoutout as a paid member - glad I can pitch in a bit.

Thank you so much❤ I live not far away from this road, and I’ll try it this weekend if the weather permits it 😊

Absolutely love these videos and this country.

The difference betweeen Switzerland and Norway is that you can access all these beautiful places in CH, and usually with just a bike or walking - if not, a funicular at worst. In Norway, if they allow you to access them at all, you have to have a car ...

One can avoid the E16 stretch entirely, just requires going on the south side around the lake, and then an extra minor climb and gravel section between Bulken and Evanger. Beautiful ride!

Talk about memories for me! In 1970, when I was 12, my family and I went down that zigzag road from the Stalheim Hotel. It was just a rough road then, and my mum, who was the driver of our rickety Bedford van, was somewhat anxious about it! But we survived, and then took the ferry at the end of the valley along the fjord. My dad had been in Norway in WW2 as part of Churchill's Special Operations and became fluent in Norwegian. After the war, he went back to Norway, and spent some time in this area, as well as at Spiterstulen, where he was a guide on the glacier that leads up to the top of Norway. Much later, in August 2012, I revisited this wonderful place, and I walked most of the gravel track you have just cycled. There was snow on the top then, too! I sat on that very same bench that you sat on! Happy memories of a beautiful time and place. Thank you so much for showing this ride. Greetings from Devon.

Great! …in all aspects…

I use to go there with my motorcycle 😊. Try Osa fjellet also

Another Banger, Matthew! I want to go and ride this now!

Great video mate! Well done :D

When the break squeel fits the music 👌

Jordalen is a paradise for backcountry / randonee skiiing in the winter. I've been up and down more or less every peak and hill in the area on skis. Interesting fact: Stalheim hotel was used by the German Nazis "Lebensborn" to raise the children of German soldiers with Norwegian mothers during WWII.

Your story telling is getting better and better. I've just come home after riding Tusenmetern, Eikesdalen and Norangsdalen - all in glorious sunshine. Would never have done it without your channel. Forever grateful! 😀💪

Please note that Stalheimskleiva is now open for cyclists. Opened one month ago. Great video as always, Matthew. Btw the old tunnels from Jordalen down to the valley/E16 was regarded as the most insane piece of tunnels in Norway. It takes on a small road to the right of the beginning of the tunnel. I am not sure if it is open but look for KZfaq videos. That tunnel is insane beyond insane.

Just Amazing Glad i will be back this year

Your sacrifices to bring us the best scenes ever are noted and commendable. Big props to your lawyer. 😂👍

Thank you for another breathtaking episode - and even with a happy end 🙂. Btw. What gearing ration did your "helicopter" have that took up that steep climb?

Where did you get the map that your using in the beginning?

Amazing roads. I'm not really a cyclist, and I can clearly see on my one motorcycle ride through Norway I missed a lot. Wish I had more vacation time but alas, won't be able to go this year, even though I'm all fired up to get there again now. Cycling is great but all the up and down has to be brutal. On a motorcycle, inclines just add to the fun. Keep up the great videos.
