- This is a road I have been wanting to show you for some time. I thought this year's chance had passed by. However, with some unexpected good autumn weather in the mountains, an opportunity presented itself that I couldn't refuse. The highest mountain climb in Norway is one for the memory banks.

02:21 - Starting the Climb
03:45 - Above the treeline
05:30 - Final push to the top

If you keep posting those epic Norway videos, i swear to you i will have to try it myself someday (awesome job btw) ! As a canadian, i know cycling in cold weather can be hard, but all the more rewarding for the tenacious ;) Chapeau my friend !
"Brutal"
Your videos are unreal! Thank you.
That is a monumental climb, especially for a cyclist! My cousin's car barely made it when we went to climb Galdhøpiggen.
Yeah it’s not easy for old cars too!
I was there in 2021 to summit Galdhøpiggen, its such a nice road.
I hiked up Dalsnibba, toll was closed and didn't have a bike, but it was an amazing trip up and down because it gave time to look at all the beauty all the way.
Can imagine it would take so much longer going up Juvasshytta, would have to stop and wipe away the tears from the beauty of this amazing place, it's now on my list.
Hats off, such a great adventure. Nearly missed my train stop because I was so engrossed into it… 😂
😅
Far out - no warm up either. That was epic indeed - of course they saw awe is good for us. Mark
Thanks for the video! Today i ended Oslo to Stavanger by the coast bikepacking trip (eurovelo 12), thanks to your videos they inspired me. The weather was great, 7/7 days were sunny :)
Awesome to hear Damian!
You cycled up this road?!! Wow 😮!
It took my breath away when I drove it up by car. I sent my OAP mum and partner up there (by car!) just to see the spectacular view. Like me, they’d never been up there before. Well done for cycling up! Respect😅
It certainly surprises you how spectacular it is up there! 🏔☀️
wOw!
Thnx for sharing. Sitting under a blanket, sick, and dreaming of walking the mountains.
Not many days left with beautiful colours up her at 69th parallell.
But again, w O w! Thnx for sharing, as a Norwegian, I've never been up there. I now has it as a goal, NOT biking, but hiking.
Looking forward to your next adventure.
Thank you from Arctic Norway 👋👋
Wow you are really high North. Hope you get out to see the last of Autumn 🍂
Epic! There's not too many can make it up 15 km at an average of 10%. Heh heh. Glad to see you have a climbing buddy, things are better shared, and hill climbing is somehow easier when your pal is there too. Great stuff as always, thank you Matthew.
Thanks for watching Malcolm 👍
This is amazing. Now I'm missing Norway!
Well I know where my next road trip is gonna be!
To allow my head to get around this - it's a climb that's not quite twice as far, but over twice as high, and 3% steeper than Scotland's famous Bealach na Ba...amazing. I'm game!
Epic ride matthew, you are a monster cyclist 👍🇮🇪 what views
Thanks John 👍
Wow! What a climb!
It is indeed 🏔
Beautiful video as always. Thank you.
👍
such an underrated channel. 10% avg! you should get into backcountry skiing, norway has some of the best in that world i hear.
It does indeed!
I was there by motorcycle this year, end of august ... A lovely 8°C and blue skies at the Jyvasshytta. Impressive climb though for cyclists, respect!!
Another outstanding video production and epic climb. Tourism Norway better be paying you because most viewers are sold on a trip there. Or at least me. 😬
Unfortunately, they don't pay anything.
Was 12 the first time I went to the top of Galdhøpiggen, was so amazed that there was a cafe there xD
This is amazing! Awesome impressions!
I rode this climb two times during Viking Tour. Epic. I hate it and I love it. But the finish line was always 1 k before the end of the road. As a result, I never noticed that there is a cabin up there. With waffles 😅
What! You missed out on the cafe at the top. Someone should of told you!
Unreal! Really great content!
Purely magical!! Thank you so much for sharing this POV with us!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome! 🎉
Another fantastic video :-)
Thanks Kenneth 👍
Goodness!!
I enjoy your videos, and get dead-tired watching 😝 Keep the videos coming - la videoene strømme på.
Glad you got tired watching 😆
@@matthewnorway watching you and Tour de France/Vuelta Espana/Giro d'Italia 😝
Thanx for the ride :) Good memories!
Thanks for the brutal ride Eirik 🚴🏻♂️🚴🏻♂️💦
Amazing 😍
Thanks for a soo impressed cykling up there! Respect! 😊👍🏁
I took the car up there and then climbed with ropet in a group up to the top of Galdoepiggen! 🏔
That's sounds like a great way to spend your day!
Excelente videos inspiring and entertaining! i'm glad i found this channel
Thanks for watching 🙂
That makes two of us. Not sure if I will make it to the land of my ancestors but I have been blessed to slowly discover so much of where and how I want to experience it through you. Thank you Matthew!
Love it, spesial the drone shot , im ben flying paraglider over der, so its a good memory . Thanks
Wow, paragliding up there sounds pretty epic!
Fantastic video! And I’m not even a cyclist. Keep it up!
Best view 🚴🏋️
Au chapeau sir.
I'm surprised that whole area at the top isn't glaciated. 1800m is above the permanent snow line at that latitude.
Flott film og slitsom stigning😅
Takk Karl 👍
My car was struggling going up there when we went last month...
@3:55 I`ve done it once and I agree; brutal is the only word that describes it!
Glad we agree!
How about Stalheimskleiva, Matthew? It's currently closed, apparently for good, but you've got contacts at Statens vegvesen nowadays, don't you? It really ought to be open for hikers and bicyclists.
I walked that road. That was hard enough But luckily, they served Rømmegrøt at the cabin, so I got the energy needed to walk back down again.
Sweat freezing on your back?
What kind of fabrics are you wearing?
Cycling base layer - mixture of wool and synthetic but hiking and cycling are very different when it comes to keeping warm.
@@matthewnorway Yeah, I know it's very different. When I cycle in the winter, I try to keep it cool. I get off the bike and walk most uphills(not an option on that road... ) to minimise the sweating. Have you considered a 'Helsetrøye' as the inner layer?
I actually gasped at 0:07.
It’s quite the road 🏔
Have you cycled Aursjøvegen from Eidsvåg to Sunndalsøra in Møre og Romsdal?
Yes, ua-cam.com/video/p8Oq-rlMFdE/v-deo.html
Hi Matthew, It seems to me you have too hard gears for such climbing. The bike you have is a gravel, right? The typical touring bike has a much wider range of gear, especially the soft gears for climbing. See the gearing in trek 520, for example. Best wishes
"Like a moon" ... which moon did you have in mind?
That ice and liquid water is a bit confusing for us Earthlings used to our bareren one.
I was thinking Titan. Beneath Titan's thick crust of water ice is more liquid-an ocean primarily of water rather than methane
On the downhill, were your brakes smoking?
No, I changed the brake pads before we went up and kept letting go of them when I could. But you could easily burn the disc with warn pads.
