At Skardbua, the mountain biking route starts with high-standard and challenging tracks leading up to Slagfjella and on to Rognhogda before it ends with a downhill section to Fagerhoi. Some of the tracks can be very demanding, and will present genuine challenges for the mountain biking enthusiast. A few of the sections are very difficult and steep, and it may be necessary to dismount. As you reach the bare mountains and Rognhogda, you will be able to enjoy spectacular views of Rondane, Synnfjellet, Jotunheimen and the rest of the World of Peer Gynt. The section from Rognhogda and down towards Fagerhoi is an excellent downhill ride along a narrow, high-quality track. Then follows a gentle ride from Fagerhoi to Vendalen, and the route continues via Digerasen and Svinslaa and back to the starting point.
