Hafjell Bike Park
Since its early inception in 2001, Hafjell Bike Park has exploded into a
world class Bike Park. It started with the “Wednesday Club”, a group of local
riders doing shuttle runs in the area that soon became tired of blasting down
the Hafjell fire-roads and craved more demanding trails. In Feb, 2002 a meeting
between Snorre Pedersen and the manager of Hafjell Alpine Centre, Geir Olsen
occurred, resulting in support from Hafjell Alpine Centre, ending the Illegal
trail building.
This gave birth to the NM løypa (Norwegian Championship trail) as we know it
today. The NM løypa was created with the help of volunteers putting in hundreds
of hours of manual labour, with the finished track later on holding a National
Downhill race in 2004.
Today Hafjell Bike Park has a Gondola and chairlift in operation and offers 12
Lift Accessible trails plus a Dirt jump spot. The Difficulty of the trails range
from beginner to expert with a mix of machine built and natural trails.
Hafjell Bike Park offers in addition to the trails, a bike-shop including
workshop and rental service with a fleet of 55 downhill bikes and 25
Cross-country bikes.
In the summer season there are 4 restaurants situated on the mountain serving
the mountain bikers and tourists in the resort.
Whether you prefer downhill, cross-country or trail riding, the Hafjell Gondola
heightens the experience with the perfect entrance to the scenic Øyer mountain
plateau. Maps for cross-country and single tracks are available in the Bike
shop. |
