Cycling in Vemdalen

Cycle your way towards the best summer mountain experiences in Vemdalen. You’ll find everything from winding trails to gravel roads just waiting to be explored.

Cycling in Vemdalen

From the summit of the Skalet Express you will find two flowing biking trails that you can easily reach by lift. The trails for trail biking consist mainly of excavated trails that run through forest and land and have different levels of difficulty (green and blue) where elements of dirt jumps, drops and berms occur. A damped-suspension bike is recommended here, but a mountain bike can also handle the terrain.

Bike trails

Both blue and green trails are suitable for the whole family and no prior experience or special equipment is required. Take your mountain bike up the lift and enjoy nature while learning how to handle your bike in an exciting terrain in a safe and fun way.

Pump track on Vemdalsskalet

A pump track is a type of track where you use your body to “pump” yourself forward instead of pedalling down. There’s an easy pump track that even the youngest cyclists can handle by the Tourist Information Centre at Skalets Torg. The trail consists of two tracks, including a pump track and a gravel track (short track) on the ski slope next door.

Skills area at Skalet Express

Vemdalen’s skills area is on the slope next to the Skalet Express. A skills area is a practice area where you can practice jumps, curves, balancing or just cycling for the fun of it. The tracks are a fun technical exercise for people of all ages. Most bikes work here, but you can’t go wrong with a bit of damping.

Cross-country

In addition to lift-access trail biking, Vemdalen also offers wonderful cross country cycling, which includes everything from road biking to cycling on small gravel roads on the mountain.

For your safety, bicycle helmets are mandatory in all cycling areas.
