Steinbiten
This is the first trail you encounter at the top. It is rated blue and takes you down to the start of "Originalen" and "Smakebiten." It is a fairly gentle trail with many berms and some jumps.
Smakebiten This is 2 km of high-quality blue-rated flow trail! It is built so that everyone, regardless of skill level, can have fun and enjoy the ride down the mountain. It is a joy to ride for both experienced and inexperienced cyclists.
Originalen
This is the first bike trail that was built at Hovden Alpinsenter many years ago. It has received small upgrades every year and has now become a fast, technical blue-rated trail that is 2 km long. This trail is a bit steeper and rougher than Smakebiten, offering a bit more of a challenge.
This is at Hovden in Setesdal.
