The Experience

From sea-level fjords to alpine switchbacks, the Lysebotn–Bryne race is a one-of-a-kind journey through Norway's raw and magnificent landscapes. Starting with a ferry ride to Lysebotn, riders are thrown directly into a brutal 9 km climb averaging 10% gradient—ascending through 27 hairpins that rival the best of the Alps. The route then cuts inland over wild moorlands and coastal rollers before finishing in Bryne.

This is Scandinavia's answer to La Marmotte—an epic test of legs, lungs, and resolve. With PurpleVelo by your side, you're not just participating—you're conquering it with confidence, strategy, and full support.
