Nesbyen is a great place for bicycling along quiet gravel roads and roads with little traffic. Some of the rides are somewhat challenging due to steep hills, while a few others are easy. Two of the bike routes are also marked for pole hiking.

HALLINGDALSRUTA
Nesbyen is part of Hallingdalsruta (The Hallingdal Route), a sign-posted bicycle route from Geilo to Nesbyen. Leave your car in Nesbyen, go to Geilo by train or bus and cycle back to Nesbyen in one day.
