About Galdhøpiggvegen
Galdhøpiggvegen is Northern Europe’s highest road. But besides being the highest road, it is also known as one of Europe’s toughest climbs. But there is more than pain to this ride. From the road, you can see some of the highest mountains in northern Europe and the ending is spectacular. The ride starts down in the valley. The first 4 kilometers / 2.5 miles is in the forest. But then the landscape opens up with extraordinary views. As it opens up, you get a small break from the uphill riding. A break you will need because the next segment is a leg-breaker with double-digit gradients. The road is so steep sometimes it looks like one is riding straight into the sky. After this segment, a plateau offers another well-deserved break. On the last climb, you can see a paraglider taking off after 10 kilometers / 6.2 miles. After finishing the last climb, you get to a bumpy road from where you can enjoy the views of the mountains, the glaciers, and a beautiful lake full of ice. The ride ends at Galdhøpiggen Summer Ski Centre.

Just add music:
Most cyclists would agree that the ride to Col du Tourmalet is awesome. But when it comes to music opinions are very mixed. This is why we recommend adding your favorite music to the ride. It is quite simple. Mute YouTube and open a browser window. Find a site that offers music (Spotify, YouTube, etc…) and pick the music you like, and enjoy the ride… The original sound of the ride has been left out. This is because the natural sound of the surroundings is drowned by noise from passing cars, vibrations from the road, wind, and the rider’s breathing.
