Varied round trip east of the airport along the Pilgrimsruta and with long distances on nice gravel roads in the forest.
Tour description
This tour begins at the hotels located east of the airport. Feel free to stop by the iconic Kepler star and see it up close. It is a great eye-catcher for everyone driving to the airport. At the Modern Activity Center it is possible to test e.g. Norway's roughest wind tunnel.
The bicycle route continues eastwards and eventually northwards along the National Bicycle Route 7 Pilgrim route which runs all the way from Halden to Trondheim. It is signposted with red signs and runs on a separate bicycle path through fields and forest.
It leads into the forest on nice gravel roads. You eventually cross the highway, but apart from that it is quiet and calm and almost a magical atmosphere when the forest gets denser. It also goes through fields and farmyards and the surface becomes more of a cart track and path, but still completely bicycle able. Past Hauerseter there is asphalt and low-traffic roads through residential areas, before it becomes gravel again. Look for both blueberries and raspberries along the roadside.
The last part of the trip goes along an walking and bicycling path back to the hotels.
The route passes Hauerseter train station and can also begin and end from here.

In Asker and Bærum, next door to Oslo, we have a huge selection of great skiing opportunities – whether you want to go downhill and alpine skiiing, exercise after work in the well lightent cross country slope, take a family tour to one of the country cabins in the forest or explore snow-covered hills – there is something for every preference and skill!
Child-friendly tours:
Shorter, child-friendly trips with good trails and nice picnic areas can be found, among other places; from FOSSUM around the light trail and up to Østernvann, from BY in LOMMEDALEN to Greinehytta and from VESTMARKA in Asker to Gupu and from SOLLI GÅRD to a selection of nice slopes. From GULLHELLA station there is flat and east terrain for trips to Sydskogen in Heggedal.
Snow covered golf courses are great for skiiing and sledging with the youngest childre, so is Sukkertoppen on Gullhaug in Lommedalen and the fields in Heggedal.
Longer cross country tours:
The forest in Asker and Bærum – known as "Marka" is excellent for longer half-day/full-day excursions for the really active – whether you choose to start in Sørkedalen, Fossum, Lommedalen, Kjekstadmarka or Vestmarka, there are many great opportunities across the areas and up through Kroksskogen. Cozy huts that serve food are Brunkollen, Haslumseter Chapel, Nygård, Løvlia, Kleivstua, Sørenga …. mm. The terrain varies from flat icy water, to slightly hilly and steep hills. It is a well prepared trail network, and both Lommedalen and Vestmarka have generally a bit more snow and longer season.
Trails with light after dawn:
It is so nice to slide on top of the white snow at "night". Beautifully groomed trails with light are available after dawn where you may spend the evening skiing. Good trails "lysløyper" can be found at Fossum 4 km, Gullhaug / Eineåsen 7.5 km hilly terrain, Vestmarksetra 5.5 km, Solvang 4.3 km, Solli 7.5 km, Vardåsen 4.6 km, Spikkestad 5 km.

Marifjell / Nordåsen known for brilliant ski slopes and a long ski season!
In recent years, there has been up to two meters of snow on top and skiing all the way out in the month of May.
This trip is naturally most suitable for cross-country skiing, but if you want to go your own way to the top, both top skiing, mountain skiing and snowshoeing are a good alternative. At the top there is a small lookout tower with a wide view of Romerike and Hadelandsåsen, as well as a cabin you can seek refuge in on cold and windy days.
To check pre-registrations, the mobile app Skisporet, possibly ‘Nannestad og Bjerke løypekjørerlag’ is recommended on Facebook.
Parking area at Nordåsen Ski Stadium in Nannestad Municipality. Take the E6 to Jessheim (exit 50 or 51), and take the E16 towards Gardermoen and Hønefoss. Take the E16 towards Maura at Åmålkrysset. Drive through Maura and straight ahead at the next roundabout. Turn left right after Esso. Follow Holkebyvegen upwards 1.5 km, to a roundabout (turning point for the bus). From here you drive about 5 km along the forest road past a barrier (tolled) and past Nordåsen ski stadium, up to the large ski car park.
From here it is well signposted with maps and several possible routes to the top.

Two different options between the Ullensaker locations Jessheim and Kløfta. Choose between a country road through forested areas or the "commuter route" on pedestrian and bicycle paths – or both!
The trip is described as starting from Kløfta but could just as easily start from Jessheim. The eastern part of the tour is signposted as National Cycle Route 7 and is part of the Pilgrims Route that runs from Halden to Trondheim. The landscape is characterized by a lot of cultivated land with farms and great cornfields. A few kilometres go through a forested area where it is a bit uphill. There is moderate to little traffic here. At Gystad, it is pleasant along Gamle Algarheimveg with a dirt road and through a residential area.
From Jessheim there is some bicycling through the traffic, but the pedestrian- and bicycle path begins quite quickly, and it takes you through the roundabouts to the south and eventually on fast, nice roads with a great view of the open Romeriks landscape. This distance is popular with commuters, so there are often several other bicyclists here. You will find rest area along the way.
The old road into Kløfta has little traffic and the route passes shopping center Romeriksenteret before ending at Kløfta train station.
