Norsk (English below):
Primhovda rundt starter med en jevn stigning før terrenget åpner seg og blir slakere innover på høyfjellet. Underlaget varierer mellom sand, stein, røtter og enkelte myrpartier, men hele runden kan sykles. Fra toppen av Primhovda, på 1133 moh, har du vid utsikt mot Valdres, Skogshorn, Sangefjell, Hallingskarvet og Reineskarvet. Langs ruten finner du korte avstikkere til utsiktspunktene Rosengardhovda og Primhovda.

Noen partier kan være fuktige – prøv å sykle på sidene av de våteste partiene for å unngå dype spor i stien.

Hvordan finne frem
Kjør fra Ål opp Kvinnegardslia. Ved miljøstasjonen tar du til høyre der det er skiltet mot Primhovda. Passer bomstasjonen (50 kr) og følg veien ca. 2 km til en stor parkeringsplass på venstre side.

English:
Primhovda rundt begins with a steady climb before the terrain levels out across the high mountain plateau. The surface is a mix of sand, rocks, roots, and some boggy sections, but the loop is fully rideable. From the summit at 1133 meters you get wide views towards Valdres, Skogshorn, Sangefjell, Hallingskarvet, and Reineskarvet. There are also two short detours to viewpoints along the trail that are worth checking out.

Some sections can be wet – try to keep to the edges rather than riding through the softest parts to avoid deep ruts.

How to get there
From Ål, drive up Kvinnegardslia. At the recycling station, turn right where it is signposted to Primhovda. After the toll station (50 NOK), continue about 2 km to a large parking area on the left.
