Bike Trips Torpo Opheim

You can start the trip in the centre of Torpo, but it's quite steep until you reach the toll road. To avoid the climb, you can start at the toll bar in Opheim. The terrain is kinder from here, and you have more opportunities to choose different roads and trips. You can choose to take the trip to Liatopppen and down the mountainside through Liagardane (it is also possible to cycle further around Votndalen) or to Breiseth. Another opportunity is to cycle pass oknin to Volelie (possibly over Syningen and down to Torpo) Possible trips: - Opheim - Liatoppen - Liagardane - Torpo - Opheim - Breiseth - Tjukketjorr - Opheim - Around Volelie

4 km hike in forest terrain with great view. This hike is close to the centre of al and you can see it when standing in the centre. A birds-eye view over the centre of al and Vestlia both along the hike and from the top. The hike is also called The troll path as it is it a bit magical. See tour description. Start the hike from the centre starting from Gamlevegen and onto Trolldalsvegen to the left. Follow the path by the sign Trollstigen. The hike is well marked towards the view point on Sundreberget Walking back to the centre you can either take the same path or take to the right 200 metres down the path which will lead you to ovre-alsvegen towards the crossroad by the schools. If you fancy a longer hike you just follow the path along the mountain/rock. You will pass several view points along the way with information boards telling you about geology, flora, fauna and more in the surrounding areas. Follow the path until it comes back to the viewpoint on Sundreberget. The hike can have an alternative start and end in ovre-al by the information board. Medium hike due to the steep start. You will use approx 20 - 30 min tour/return Sundreberget. If you walk the whole hike around it take about 1 1/2 hour from start and end in the centre. Parkering in the centre by the police station.

5. Kiting & Skisailing

With skis or board, a kite and perhaps some beginners lessons you're free to find your way across frozen lakes, up and down mountain sides. Acrobatic jumps and high speed - a sport for daredevils. The Bergsjo area is ideal for kiting and skisailing and there are courses in both activities throughout the winter. Rodungstol Hoyfjellshotell has long experience with courses in skisailing. You can also rent gear there and do courses weather permitting. Bergsjostolen is the kiters cradle and here you find courses all through the winter. At the end of this page you can find a YouTube video of kiting at Bergsjostolen.
