Whether you prefer a leisurely road trip or a more challenging mountain bike ride, you'll find plenty of routes to explore in Hovden.
The area has both shorter flat routes (some only six km long) and day trips of around 75 km are possible, so your cycling experience in Hovden is only limited by your imagination. Several of the routes take you along prepared paths, gravel roads or cycle paths, so you avoid car traffic.
All of them lead you through the area's beautiful landscape, and several also offer cultural experiences such as the impressive Vatnedals dam or the impressive stone bridges of the defunct Setesdal railway. The routes have rest stops at regular intervals, and in many places you'll pass swimming spots if you fancy a cool dip along the way.
If you don't want to bring your own bikes, it is possible to rent bikes at Hovden Alpine Centre.
