Along the way, you can easily switch between different difficulty levels, take a break, or let other riders pass at one of several Trail Hubs.

Lift-Accessed Biking – Purpose-Built Trails at Trysil

NEW: Boneyard (red)

In July, we finally opened Boneyard, a 1 km trail that, like last year’s new additions Tons of Rock and Hammerfall, offers jumps, drops and cool features!

To reach Boneyard, enter FlowStar (33). From there, you can ride the newest trails continuously all the way down to the end of Timber Town (38).

Tons of Rock (red)

Tons of Rock is a 500-metre trail featuring bermed corners, jumps, and exciting elements that challenge experienced riders.

Hammerfall (red)

Hammerfall, like the other two trails, offers great flow, big jumps and thrills. Here you can have fun over 350 metres of large bermed turns, jumps and a wooden bridge.

Magic Moose (blue)

Magic Moose is a flow trail that starts at the top of Fjellekspressen, runs down to Knettsetra and further down to the Turistsenteret. At a total of 7 km, it is one of Europe’s longest flow trails.

The trail combines nicely bermed turns, playful bumps and fun wooden features. With a blue difficulty rating, it is best suited for those with some experience – beginners are recommended to try trail biking in Gullia before attempting lift accessed biking.

Rolling Stones (red)

The red trail Rolling Stones starts at Knettsetra and runs parallel to Magic Moose. The trail is about 400 metres long and offers more action with technical jumps and high speed.

Jackhammer (red and black jump line)

Jackhammer is located mid-mountain, between the lift-accessed bike trails. This is the place for those who love big jumps. There are also several wooden features to make the jumps even more exciting and challenging, if you wish.

This area is popular and many riders spend a lot of time here. You can also pedal back up beside the jump line if you want to try again and again. For those who don’t like jumps, it’s easy to bypass this area and continue on the trails down to the Turistsenteret.

FlowStar (blue)

FlowStar is a 1.9 km blue trail running from the top of Fjellekspressen down to the Jackhammer jump line. The trail is wide and super smooth, with many bermed turns, jumps, bumps and bridges. You can choose to cruise down gently or go full throttle.

The trail suits all riders comfortable on blue runs, but we recommend beginners on lift-accessed biking to try Gullia first. Find the blue trail too easy? Switch to the red trail Timber Town, or continue on the blue trails Gold Rush or Starline.

Gold Rush (blue)

Gold Rush is a 1.3 km trail starting after Jackhammer’s jump line. This is a fast and fun flow trail with several jumps of varying sizes and other playful features. You can also roll over the jumps, but remember to reduce your speed first.

Starline (blue)

Starline is the last blue trail before reaching the Turistsenteret where you can take the bike lift back up. This 400-metre trail runs into the forest and offers playful wooden features and bermed turns.

Twister (red)

Twister is a 1.7 km flow trail running from the top of Fjellekspressen down to the Jackhammer jump line.

The trail offers an unbeatable mix of action and flow. Along the way, there are several Trail Hubs where you can take a break.

You can also choose the blue trail here if you find the red one a bit too challenging. Twister starts with a high-speed section before you enjoy beautiful berms, jumps and fast corners. This trail will leave you wanting more!

Timber Town (red)

Timber Town is an 800-metre flow trail heading into the forest from Jackhammer. Built by hand and machines, it is a technical flow trail with intense features, plenty of variety and fast corners – very fun but technically demanding.

Downtown (red)

Downtown is 400 metres long and is the last red trail before you reach the Turistsenteret where you can take the lift back up. Here you can really enjoy large bermed turns and intense features such as whale tails, wallrides and jumps.

Sten (black)

Sten is a 1.3 km trail that is rough and technical, built by hand with LOTS of rocks. A nightmare for some, a joy for others... It’s obvious why we only recommend Sten for experienced riders.

Bike Choices for Lift-Accessed Biking in Trysil

You can bring most types of bikes on the lifts in Trysil, but not all are equally suited for lift-accessed biking – especially on challenging trails with jumps and drops.

Which bike should you choose?

Hardtail or full suspension bikes are the main options. If you plan to buy or rent a bike, you can find modern models at bike rental in Trysil, where you also get quality-assured equipment with good maintenance.

Full suspension trail bike – the best choice

For the best experience, especially on demanding trails, a full suspension trail bike is recommended. It absorbs shocks from roots and rocks, and provides softer landings on jumps and drops – perfect for both adults and children.

Other options

If you’re going on longer, easier rides, a hardtail trail bike can be a lighter and good alternative. For longer distances like the Fjellrunden, an e-bike is a smart choice, with motor assistance that makes climbing easier.
