Distance and timing basis
Ordered leg totals agree within rounding. Stop distances are approximate sums of rounded legs. Stops, delays, approach and any separate return travel add time. Basis: producer-declared routed record.
Reading history stays on this device. My road watch requires a separate selection; opening it does not subscribe this ride.
Distance and riding time are measured on the routed road. Check local closures and conditions before you ride.
Waypoint introductions and full write-ups
1. Photo stop near Flå
Flå sits in the lower part of Hallingdal, one of the great valleys of southern Norway, where the river Hallingdalselva flows south into Lake Krøderen. Rv7, the main road from Oslo to Bergen over Hardangervidda, runs through the valley, and Flå is often the first stop for travellers heading west into the mountains.

2. Food stop near Kongsvinger
3. Near Asker
West of Oslo, the land tilts down to the fjord in a long slope of forest, villas and small farms, and the area between Asker, Billingstad and the Kolsås ridge is where the city's commuter belt meets real countryside. Kolsås itself, a flat-topped ridge of old volcanic rock, rises steeply above the houses, and from its cliffs climbers and walkers look out over the inner Oslofjord, its islands and the city in the distance.
4. Back to Rondane
This stop is called Back to Rondane, which is a slight misnomer, because the point actually lies in Østfold on the eastern side of the Oslofjord, near Rygge and the town of Moss. Rondane's high plateaus are a long day's ride north. What you have here is a very different side of Norway, gentle, farmed and close to the sea.
