Mjølkevegen is considered one of Norway's most beautiful cycling routes. The 250-kilometer-long route stretches from Vinstra in Gudbrandsdalen to Gol in Hallingdal and passes through an open, vibrant mountain landscape with mountain pastures, grazing lands, and vast views. The name comes from the time when the road was used by dairies to collect milk from the farms in the area.
The trail offers a wonderful mix of old gravel roads, small lakes and babbling streams, blooming summer meadows, and traditional farm life. You cycle through mountain terrain, and it's close to nature, peaceful, and genuine – a journey through the Norwegian cultural landscape at its very finest.
Choose between three programs
The Northern Milky Way is the most mountain-close, magnificent, and demanding part. It is fully achievable for experienced fitness enthusiasts but feels more like a mountain adventure. The level is 4, with up to 63 km per day and climbs of 1000 meters in elevation.
The Southern Milky Way suits you if you want to cycle at a more relaxed pace and enjoy the vast landscape with plenty of time for breaks and stops along the way. The level is 2, with stages of up to 35 km and climbs of around 400 meters per day.
The Full Milky Way includes the best stretches from both parts, and you get to experience how the landscape changes from valley to mountain. The level is 3, with more variation in difficulty between the days.

Level and standard
The southern part mostly offers easy and flat cycling on gravel roads, with a comfortable flow and gentle uphills and downhills. Daily stages of 25 - 35 km give plenty of time for breaks and views, and suit cyclists with normal base fitness who want to enjoy the ride rather than rush.
The northern part suits you if you cycle regularly and have very good fitness. The route offers long, hilly stretches and fast descents, requiring confident bike handling and steady stamina. The difficulty level varies, with one particularly demanding stage and a shorter day that allows for some recovery.
The combination of the northern and southern parts covers varied terrain and is easier in the south and tougher in the north.
You stay at traditional and historic mountain hotels with a genuine atmosphere and warm hospitality. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are included every day, so you can focus on the cycling. Enjoy welcoming surroundings and pleasant evenings that give you new energy for the next stage. Examples of accommodation:
