Itinerary description
|
It dawns a very sunny day and after having breakfast outside the cabin we walk the small section of dirt track until we reach the paved road. This road is cataloged like the RTN of Rondane, crossing the limits of the National Park of Rondane. We continue along the road for 20 kms until we reach a tourist information office.
Our intention was to cross the PN arriving by a dirt track to the refuge Bjørnhollia and from there by a path of 12 kms through the Illmanndalen valley to get to Rondvassbu and continue by track until Mysuseter until reaching the road in Otta. After having crossed, in this way, the NP of Rondane we wanted to have taken the National Tourist Route of Sognefjellet, which they say is one of the best roads in the world to travel by bicycle to have finished our route in the Hardangervidda NP.
However, we had to completely change our plans. We spent the detour to the refuge to ask at a tourist information office about the possibility of doing the path between the refuge and Rondvassbu with bicycles. The boy, who seemed not to be very convinced of what he said or we did not understand, said that if he could and even from there we could access the refuge by a path so we would not have to go back to the detour.
We took the path that at the beginning is easy and very fun crossing a river and going through a forest. But the path becomes more complicated and we have to climb a very steep ramp, being necessary to unhook the saddlebags and have to climb the bike first and then go down for the saddlebags. From here the path is very stony and reaching the refuge becomes an odyssey. At the shelter we eat a little, we rest and we ask the manager how the path is until Rondvassbu and he tells us that it is very similar to where we came from. Therefore, we decided to go around the road along the track that we should have taken to go up to the shelter.
Before the forced change of plans, we continue on the road until we reach a campsite in Vollom where we rent a cabin (300 NOK).

una pregunta, me parece ver ke llevas neumaticos de montaña, se puede hacer esta ruta con neumaticos lisos? o es necesario ir con montaña? https://es.wikiloc.com/rutas-cicloturismo/11-noruega-holen-vollom-01-08-12-3795804/photo-1771767
Creo que no es muy recomendable los lisos, hay muchos tramos de tierra,piedras... https://es.wikiloc.com/rutas-cicloturismo/11-noruega-holen-vollom-01-08-12-3795804/photo-1771767
