Discover Røn: church, swimming spot and cycling routes

A stay in Røn offers all kinds of things to discover: the water beckons at the Bryggjenebbe swimming spot, several cycling routes each have their own focus, and Røn Church combines a distinctive detail with views towards Nord-Aurdal and Vang. When choosing your holiday apartment, you can consider whether you would rather spend your holiday swimming, cycling or visiting a cultural site.

A distinctive detail in Røn Church

The vestibule of Røn Church probably contains a beam from Fystro Stave Church, which dates back to the 13th century. This old building component connects your visit with the history of another church. Røn Church lies about one kilometre above the centre of Røn and offers views towards Nord-Aurdal and Vang. If you are interested in churches and historic building components, you will find a cultural highlight here alongside outdoor activities.

Three cycling routes with different profiles

The Røn–Slidre Valley-Floor Loop is a flat and easy 16-kilometre gravel cycling route between Røn and Slidre. It passes Røn Church and old mountain pasture paths. This means the route combines cycling with two distinctive points of interest: the church building and the historic paths. For your holiday planning, it is an option to consider if you are looking for a route described specifically as flat and easy, covering 16 kilometres.

The Vestre Slidre Høyderute, which starts in Røn, has a different character. It follows mountain pasture paths up to 800 metres and offers panoramic views across the entire Valdres Valley and of the mountains towards Jotunheimen. The route is in season from June to September. Unlike the flat valley-floor loop, this is a highland route with wide-ranging views. You can therefore choose between the two routes based on the type of ride you want, without assuming a particular duration or level of difficulty.

The sheltered Lomen–Røn Valley Loop is also a flat cycling route: it is an 18-kilometre road-cycling route between Lomen and Røn. The route lies below 420 metres and is sheltered by coniferous forest and valley formations. In good weather, there are views of Slidrefjord from its eastern side. This distinguishes it from the gravel loop between Røn and Slidre by road type, and from the highland route by its elevation below 420 metres. These details can help you choose the route that best matches your interest in valley paths, highland paths or views.

Swimming and local specialities

Bryggjenebbe in Røn is a popular swimming spot with a diving board. It is easily accessible to locals and people passing through. If swimming is on your holiday wish list, Bryggjenebbe is a practical point of reference when choosing where to stay in Røn. The diving board is an additional feature of the swimming spot, without requiring you to plan for a particular type of use.

Rakfisk is produced at Hande Gard in Røn. Hande Gard welcomes groups of up to 60 people by prior arrangement and offers views of Slidrefjord and the fish farm. This adds a regional food product and a destination for groups to the activities on the water and by bike.

The cycling routes, swimming spot and church offer different ways to spend your time in Røn. Choose your holiday apartment with an eye to which of these experiences matter most for your trip. Other local pages will take you to Lomen and Vollen.
