NDHS #3 – Nordic Downhill Series × Ekstremsportveko

Race one of the most legendary downhill tracks in Norway.

100 riders on the start list.
One line down Bavallen.
 

The legendary Bavallen Downhill returns to Ekstremsportveko and is now an official stop of the Nordic Downhill Series.

Riders from across the Nordic countries gather in Voss to race one of Norway’s most iconic downhill tracks.

The 4.5 km course drops straight from the mountain via the Voss Gondola, delivering rough sections, high-speed lines, technical terrain and full commitment from start to finish.

Bavallen has previously hosted both Norwegian Cup rounds and an upgraded European Cup track, and remains one of the most challenging downhill courses in Norway.

And who knows — there might even be a few surprises on the track this year.

This year the race is limited to 100 riders, so make sure to secure your spot early.
