Description

Short ride suited for everyday evening training rides.

Combining the idyllic country roads of Sørkedalen, with the semi-urban switchback climbs of Holmenkollen.

A favourite of locals, be prepared to encounter many like-minded souls on bikes as well as roller skis along the roads of Sørkedalen. While Tryvann summit is also accessible through several of the many back roads up Holmenkollen, this route takes you via Gressbanen to include the fiercely contested Strava-segment to the top.

The current KOM and runner up, both have top 10 GC-rankings in Grand Tours, so saddle up if you're attempting this one. Highlights are the idyllic and accessible low-traffic country roads and the views available along the final climb
