About This Route

In the UNESCO-listed Geirangerfjord, Stryn Summer Park delivers 20km of alpine trails from glacier-fed valleys, including flow trails and tech lines near Dalsnibba viewpoint. Ride lifts at Stryn Resort for laps overlooking Seven Sisters waterfall. Routes like 'Loen' connect to fjord ferries, blending descents with 800m drops through moraine fields. Family-friendly blues mix with pro blacks; perfect fjord gateway MTB.
