Tottenrunden
Description
3-4 hour trip if you start from the center and cycle Holdeskarsveien and further dirt road to the top of the Holvinheisen. 2-3 hours if you can take the lift up, or use a car or electric bike. Cycle/push up to the steep tractor road in the "Fjelløypa" past the start of the Totten 2 lift and on to the east side of the tottetjerne on a technically fun trail. Everything can be cycled, but the steep slope where the ride turns north is marked black++ for a few metres. Follow the valley out to the dam on fun technical flow. Cycle under the dam (here most people have to push up 50-200 metres, but everything can probably be cycled on an electric bike) to the path which then continues north down towards the valley.
This is where the best fun begins. Fairly rough stony path but with speed it rolls down like hell. Down on Skyrvedalsveien, follow to the first 90* bend and hard left after approx. 200 meters on a regrown tractor path. Follow the path down, it is absolutely fantastic and goes on a ridge, and suddenly you are in the valley again. Happy and tired!
Access
The trail starts at the bottom of the Totten2 lift in Hemsedal ski centre. It can be cycled, drive a not too low car or the Holvinheisen when it is open.
