Downhill biking

From Hovden Alpine Centre,  2 routes have been built for downhill cycling. One for beginners and one for experienced. More routes are planned in the area.
All routes are integrated in nature, hence only stone, soil and wood have been used for building the route.
Biking downhill at Hovden is a complete experience, it is physically challegning, exciting and gives you a great nature experience in breathtaking surroundings.
