This Might Be Europe's Remotest Bikepacking Route?

Few places in Europe can rival this bikepacking adventure through one of Scandinavia's wildest regions. This will be my final cycling documentary for a while, so I wanted to make it a truly special one. Join me aboard a 120-year-old boat as we sail down Norway's second-largest lake, only to be dropped off in the heart of the wilderness. From there, the only way back to civilisation is by bike!

Hi Matthew! So nice to finally see this amazing video from my Strewberry secret place! I am impressed over the effort you did the day i met you on the mountain road from Narbuvoll. I turned around at Svarthaugen, but you continued all the way to Alvdal that same day! Your videos have all high quality and it was awsome to watch the filming from this beautiful part of Norway that i know so well. Thanks for the ride and all the best for your next adventures on the bike in Norway! Best regards, Fred.

Breathtaking. Truly a place on earth where you see what cannot be seen and hear what cannot be heard. You feel what has never been felt before.

What a beautiful video! Mathew, you are a storyteller we don't deserve!

What a great trip! I love hiking in this region, Svukuriset is a favorite. Watching your video I've almost decided I have to go back thus summer.

Thank you for the inspiration!

Fantastic as always Matthew, it’s definitely my cup of tea 👍👍

[Royalty]

Wow, what an adventure! Great work, I love your videos!

[larswara]

Great video, and a great area of hiking/cykling/canoing(!) for sure! But the Alaska of Europe? I live in Trondheim, just some 150 km north of Røros, and never heard of that expression of the area. Northen Sweden, with Sarek and Padjelanta National Parks, is truly the "Alaska of Europe"! Mighty mountains, and a huge untouched area of pure wilderness!!

That man is doing more for Norwegian tourism and soft power than anyone else at the moment.

I discovered Fæmunden about 25 years ago. Fantastic (and large!) area.

Thanks for a lovely adventure Matthew.

Yeah, Røros!😃❤❤❤ I told you, it's great there!

[rogeramu]

Nice video, looked like a fun trip. I would love to have a few details of the route from Tufsingdal to Alvdal. There are a few options and easy to get lost :) . As for Femunden being remote... it is a large area and but quite accessible. Plenty of hikers and mosquitos in summer, much quieter at the end of August. For biking, Røros as base camp or starting point gives you lots of routes.

[dmitrijsstarikovs]

👏 probably my favorite video of yours. Never heard of the area before.

[vernerjuliussen]

Yet another amazing bike pack video. 🤩🔥
I really enjoy watching you're videos and plan which routs are suited for me.
This one is not for beginners!

I think increasing tourism significantly by sharing videos are somewhat true. Mostly cause youre fysical capacity on the bike are well above average. 😅
I, for one, won't even attempt copying youre schedule without more lokal testing (example - 100k, 3-4 days in a row). 🙌

Look forward to the next one. 🤙

Fantastic video and adventure Matthew. Femundsmarka was already on my list - it just rose to the top 🙂

[andypenn]

Another classic. What an adventure, spectacular 😊👍👍👍👍

[jeffroussell]

Amazing area and views but looked challenging for a bike in some area, would be great for hike.

[krimoll]

Oh no, why is it your final documentary for a while??! 😢
