Storhogen (Sogndal)

The Storhogen is the panoramic mountain above Sogndal with the striking transmitter antenna. The route impresses with a world-class view of the fjord landscape and great trails down to Kaupanger.

Description

The tour starts at the stores in Kaupanger. Now you climb up a small asphalt road to the airfield, where the route turns into a pleasantly ascending gravel road. At the barrier, the pace becomes crisper and the gravel road rides steeply up to the transmitter antenna. But the effort is worth it for the fantastic view of the fjord landscape around Sogndal alone.

However, the descent is also a real treat. Initially, it rides over the ridge in an alpine style. As you enter the forest, the route becomes more flowy but also rooty. The trail curves downhill until it turns into a gravel road. A little later, you take a sharp left and head into the brilliant flowing final section through a kind of fairytale forest down to the first houses of Kaupanger.

Great tour in the land of many mountains, but few bikeable peaks. Pretty flowy for Norwegian trails🤪

Parking at the supermarket limited to 3 hours.
At the end of the village towards the ascent, there is a gravel parking lot on the right.
Along the road to the airport there are several bays that are also suitable for overnight stays.
