Around Storevatnet
Around Storevatnet

There is a challenging path of about 4 km. You get a great view of Tisleia and Skogshødn. It is also recommended to take the route up Skogshødn (red) by walking from Trefta. We recommend cycling the route clockwise to finish the route with a refreshing swim in Grytevatnet. From the Blomeslettatn-Nøreli path, there is a hiking route to Vihovda.

The area around Storevatnet is a beautiful area where you can fish, swim, or paddle canoe. You may encounter grazing animals, local farmers, and other outdoor enthusiasts. It is also possible to combine this circular ride with other bike routes, either south towards Golsfjellet or further into Lykkja.

Bring your swimwear, fishing rod, food, and drink so you have the opportunities to enjoy the mountain nature all day in beautiful nature and cultural landscape. There are other small lakes nearby where you can also fish and swim. Grytetjernet is known to be the warmest water for swimming, and it is often many who swim here.

Author's advice

Take advantage of the opportunities for fishing and swimming in the area, or leave your bike and take the route up to Skogshødn or Storhøvda

Turn-by-turn directions

Starting point at the parking lot at Trefta or Hestanåne. Cycle towards Lykkja and Nøreli stølsgrend. At the stølen, turn right onto a path (rocky and challenging) to Blomeslettatn. Cycle straight ahead and out onto Lykkjaveien, then turn right to Trefta. Not suitable for bike trailers (due to path at Nøreli). It is possible to continue on a nice bike path to the Golsfjellet bike area from Nøreli or continue towards Lykkja and the Valdres bike area (Tisleia round, etc.).

Equipment

Wear a bike helmet. Bring enough water and food so you can enjoy the day as long as you want.

Safety information

Watch out for stones on the path and keep any dogs on a leash so they do not scare grazing animals.

Directions

Starting from the center, drive east to Ulsåk and take a left up Lykkjavegen at Kiwi. Continue until you reach Trefta parking (fee) or alternatively Hestanåne parking (fee).

Parking

You can choose between Trefta parking, which is used when you go up Skogshødn, or Hestanåne parking. Fee can be paid via Vipps.
