Guide E Bike Tour in Olden with Snacks

What's included

Use of bicycle

Each guest receives a backpack with refreshing Olden water, a taste of Norwegian chocolate, and a fresh fruit — perfect for recharging while taking in the stunning scenery.

Detailed itinerary

See both the historic Old Olden Church (from 1759) and its modern counterpart across the road. Learn about their role in the community and architectural evolution.

Experience the serene beauty of Laukifossen, a charming waterfall nestled along the Oldeelva River in Olden. Though modest in height, this cascade offers a picturesque setting with its glacial blue waters tumbling over rocks, framed by lush greenery and distant mountains. A nearby wooden bridge and an old fisherman's hut add to the scenic charm, making it a perfect spot for photography and a peaceful pause during your e-bike journey.

Cycle alongside the scenic Oldeelva River, which flows from the glacier-fed Oldenvatnet Lake through the heart of the valley. Its cold, clear waters wind past forests, farmland, and charming wooden bridges. As you ride along its banks, your guide will share how this river has shaped the landscape and supported local life — from fishing to powering historic mills. It’s a peaceful stretch of the route, perfect for soaking in the sounds of nature.

Take a relaxing break at the turquoise waters of Oldenvatnet Lake — one of Olden’s most breathtaking sights. Here, you’ll enjoy a peaceful snack stop surrounded by towering peaks and glacier-fed waters. We provide each guest with a small backpack that includes locally bottled Olden water, a piece of Norwegian chocolate, and a fresh fruit to recharge before continuing your ride.
