Bestefarvarden

Ride one of our electric mountain bikes to Kvalvika in about 20 minutes, then continue on foot. The hike to the top takes around 30 minutes at a moderate pace. From there, you’ll have stunning views of landmarks like Landegode and Hjertøya.

The trail begins just above the beach at Kvalvika, right outside the city. Park your bike by the tunnel and follow the steps up. There are a few side paths along the way, but the main trail is easy to follow.

The incline is steady and stretches over one kilometer. The descent is a bit quicker. At the top, you’ll enjoy a panoramic view of Landegode, Hjertøya, and the surrounding coastline.

The entire trip, including both cycling and hiking, takes about 2 hours round trip from the hotel. 

Equipment available to borrow at the hotel:

Café Turisthytta, adjacent to the lobby, is ready to fill your backpack with coffee on thermos, bottles with water and lemonade and packed sandwiches.
