Gravel cycling camp
18–22 July
Join us for four days of adventure, learning and unforgettable cycling. During the camp, Peter from Gravel Odyssey and Michaela Sundbaum from Mikaelas skidskola will guide you along the finest gravel routes in Funäsfjällen and all the way into Norway.
Peter and Michaela have both spent many hours in the saddle here in Funäsfjällen and will be able to show you the very best the area has to offer. The camp’s crowning finale will see all participants ride Fjällturen Gravel together. It may well be Sweden’s most beautiful gravel race, taking riders across Flatruet, along Ljusnan and all the way to the end of the road in Ramundberget.
In the days leading up to the race, spectacular rides will be interspersed with workshops on bikes, riding technique, fuelling for long days on the bike (or other physically demanding activities) and much more. To help you unwind and stretch, there will be Yin Yoga sessions led by Anna Glad from the naprapathy clinic Glad och Glad in Funäsdalen. There will also be free time for walks in Ramundberget’s stunning surroundings, sauna sessions and a dip, and delicious meals at restaurant Mor Britas.
This camp is for those who already cycle regularly and want to explore Funäsfjällen and enjoy longer days in the saddle.

Questions and answers
I've never tried gravel cycling. Do I need any prior experience?
To join the camp, you’ll need enough cycling experience and stamina to spend long hours in the saddle, and feel comfortable riding on gravel roads with plenty of climbs that require a good level of fitness. You don’t need any gravel riding experience before the camp.
What equipment is required?
All participants must have the following equipment:
- Gravel bike. If you don’t have your own, you can rent one from Cykel och Fritid in Funäsdalen.
- Helmet
- Wear cycling clothing suited to the weather; dressing in layers is recommended. Cycling shorts help keep you comfortable during long hours in the saddle.
