Fatbike tracks and rules
You can ride fatbike on the cc-skiing tracks, but please read and agree to the FATiquette trail manner rules.
We are passionate about fatbike cycling around Geilo. It is therefore important to pay attention to skiers/ other trail users and changing trail conditions.
It's not rocket science: soft trails, soft tires (reduce tire pressure - let out air).
If the trails/ tracks are too soft then ride somewhere else.
Information regarding Fatbike-tracks:
Please note that not all trails exist or are in good shape after snowfall or strong winds.
IMPORTANT:
All fatbike cycling is at your own risk.

Fatbike during the summer?
Our fatbikes are very suitable for summer-riding too!
They roll as nicely as a normal Mountain Bike and they have a playful geometri.
Why is it more expensive to rent a fatbike during the summer? - simply because these are expensive bikes that require more maintenance during the summer.
