Rock slide near Nord-Sel

Details: Published: 01 April 2025

I just got a message from the pilgrim centre on Dovrefjell that a huge rock slide took place yesterday (March, 31st 2025) near Rosten, between Sel and Dovre. The E6 is still closed there.

There were no casualties, but at the same place, and also as a result of a rock slide, one person was killed in 2013. This was in the same period, but it can also happen after periods of heavy rainfall.

The cycle route goes exactly over this stretch of the E6, unless you cycle the alternative over Reinheimen. The E6 will probably reopen here soon, but it's good to know that this kind of thing can happen in Norway.

Agenda

To promote the guide, I started giving presentations and interviews. These are all in Dutch, but if you’re still interested, you can find links to them Dutch news page.
What’s interesting, even if you don’t understand Dutch, is that I have an introduction clip for a presentation, on Youtube, which gives you an impression of the Gudbrandsdalsleden by bicycle. I narrated it myself, but you can enable subtitles which are automatically generated, on the bottom right of the video player.
