In Hemsedal Rides, you can test out one of Norway's roughest flow trails with a fantastic view of the mountains.
Silverstone is a berms and rollers paradise swirling throught the birch forrest of the resort. You start by taking the lift up with your bike and the trail begins when you get off the lift and bike down the hill to your right past Fjellkafeen. The flow trail continues through the forest and winds down the mountain kilometer by kilometer like a snake. There are many marked stops along the trail and we recommend everyone to take a break in between to catch their breath, shake off lactic acid and look at the fantastic view.
See the summer chair lifts opening hours. Buy BikePass for the lift in the i SkiStar app or on skistar.com.
