Cycling / Around Skåkås

Start from the tourist information centre and follow Route 30 southwards (towards Tynset/ Oslo) until you reach the roundabout. Turn left, along Route 31 towards Brekken. Follow it for approx. 800 metres (past Rema1000 and Kitron). Here a road branches off to the right; cycle along it for approx. 400 metres, until you reach a junction. You are now close to Småsetran. Turn left, and after another 400 metres you will reach the toll barrier on Skåkåsvollveien. Follow that road.
After approx. 2.5 km there is a left turn, which goes down to the summer farms at Stikkilsdalen. You may want to take a detour down to them.
It is now 4 km up to Skåkåsvollan from the junction. The whole section from Småsetran and Kitron is a steady climb.
At Skåkåsvollan the off-road part of the route starts. Here you take a path to the right (southwards), and after approx. 500 metres you will meet the DNT path marked with red Ts (Røros–Marenvollen). You should turn right down this path (north–westwards). If you take a detour to the left you will get to Skåkåssteinen, a huge boulder left by the retreating glacier.
You should follow the DNT path back to Småsetran and Røros, but if you want some additional challenges you can turn off at one of the paths that goes down towards Hådalen and Dalsveien. If you do, you will need to keep a close eye on our map!
