It's not often that you have scenery as serene as you do when starting the day in Geiranger, a small village in the Møre og Romsdal county of western Norway. Looking out to the Geirangerfjord with the spectacular Seven Sisters, Suitor and Bridal Veil waterfalls pouring what seems like an endless flow of water from heaven to earth it's no wonder this was voted best travel destination in Scandinavia by Lonely Planet. From here we have 20.9 kilometres at an average of 6.9% up to Dalsnibba where, on a clear day at the summit, you have views all the way back down to the fjord we're starting from. Impressive is an understatement.
With surroundings created by the ice ages, when glaciers carved out great fjords and sculpted the high mountains, climbing Dalsnibba is more than a cycling experience, it's a journey of escapism into the evolution of our world. If you ever need to put things on hold, take a break and get back to nature then Norway is the place to go. Peace.

Mike, the most impressive part of this video was to see Norway on a sunny day. 😄

@MikeCotty 6 лет назад

hiddenchildren We has a pretty tight schedule so were very lucky that Mother Nature was in a good mood. I’ve been in Norway in summer before and barely saw the sun so this day well and truly made up for it!

Thank you for your appreciation. Come join us in the French Pyrénées on one of our cycling tours and we can ride the cols together! More info available at thecolcollective.com/cycling-tours.

@Sator810 6 лет назад

Hope you got to try yourself up Juvass while you where in the area. Norway's answer to Mont Ventoux expect that it starts at a bit more humane altitude of about 500m.

@larsmunch4536 4 года назад

Djupvatnet, only a few kilometers from the Geiranger Fjord, but from here the water flows east and southeast several hundreds of kilometers, until it reaches the sea southeast of Oslo, close to the Swedish border. So, although you are starting at sea level at one of the fjords of western Norway, on this ascent you are crossing the watershed between western and eastern Norway, and the last part of the ascent is in eastern Norway.

@gregcook838 6 лет назад

Dalsnibba is beauty-full; try a few runs up the pass from tidewater at Skagway, Alaska to Whitehorse, Yukon Territory. It's a bonnie wee bit scenic.

@mistersmith158 6 лет назад

Excellent!!

@lukaslerperger 6 лет назад

been riding up there with my girlfriend last september. The landscapes of norway are special and stunning in generell but this area and climb is just simply beautiful! Although the switchbacks of Trollstigen are way more famous and they are cool too, but this is actually the more intense and more exciting climb. btw you forgot to ride the Knuten ;)

@Gegetp2000 2 года назад

Agreed, riding Knuten is very much recommended! Although Knuten is gravel, so I skipped it when I was on my inline skates.

@asbvast 6 лет назад

Hey! Big fan of your channel. It would be fun if you considered doing the road to Juvasshytta in Norway. It's quite a spectacular road and a hard climb, not too many are aware of it so that would be something to do! Keep up with the good content, cheers from a viking. Another mesmerizing video btw!

@asbvast 6 лет назад

From 'dangerousroads.com' : « The road to Juvasshytta is pretty steep. Starting from Galdesanden, the ascent is 13.8 km long. Over this distance, the elevation gain is 1.283 meters. The average percentage is 9.3 %. But the climb includes sections up to 16.0%. »

@zenwheel8299 6 лет назад

Just curious, but it seem that your finishing each climb with fantastic mountain sunsets with great effect. Do you always plan on doing this ? Please continue !

@MikeCotty 6 лет назад

Zen Wheel It certainly looks that way! The reality on this occasion was that we filmed Trollstigen earlier that day and it was the endless summer sun that meant we managed to get to the top of Dalsnibba just as it was setting. Absolutely stunning and pretty surreal being at the top of a mountain at midnight and it still being light. The downside was that by the time we got back to Geiranger the fjord ferries had long stopped, meaning we couldn’t get back to our chalet but luckily we managed to find a hotel still open in the early hours of the morning. Long day but definitely worth it and one I’d repeat in a heartbeat.

And now on to Sognefjellet or Valdresflya. Or better...join the infamous Jotunheimen Rundt Gran Fondo.

@larsmunch4536 6 лет назад

Sognefjellet starting from Skjolden at Lusterfjorden would be fantastic! Jotunheimen Rundt Gran Fondo - is that the one starting at E16 from Lærdalsøyri up to Filefjell, down to Fagernes, then left following Rv 51 up to Båtskardet, down to Bygdin, up to Valdresflya, down to Vågåvatnet, again left following Rv 15 to Lom (up at Garmo and then down again), left in Lom following Rv 55 through Bøverdalen, up to Sognefjell, down to Lusterfjorden, a little up and down again at Hafslo and at last ending in Sogndal? Back in 1999 I was going by bus from Otta to Krossbu at the day of this event. The bus passed some cyclists looking rather tired! I think it is fair to be tired after such a day.

@UhuruFrontier 6 лет назад

Why did it take so long to upload this video? You stated the ride was in June, but the release is Feb.

@BradHubbardbadone 6 лет назад

Well he *started* in June, uploaded in Feb so I guess it must have taken six months to finish the climb and descend back to earth (that's about how long I would take) ;)

@MikeCotty 6 лет назад

1AmericanInAsia Riding the climb is actually the easier part of the process would you believe? When the sun is shining we filmed a MASSIVE amount of content as we have to maximise the summer potential. The climb may take 1-2 days to film depending on the length of the ride and then it can take up to two weeks to produce (and that’s if you’re really focused on it and not running three businesses as I happen to be). Unfortunately I don’t just have the fun part of riding the climb and then handing it over to a team to get on and produce the videos. I actually edit the videos myself, a job I could easily spend 60-70 hours a week on and nothing else. So we’re working through our library, bit by bit, one climb at a time. Thanks for your patience. Ride safe. Mike
