Train and bicycle
Mjøstråkk leads through all the five Mjøsa towns, and each of these can also be reached by train. Hamar, Brumunddal, Moelv, and Lillehammer are located along the Drammen-Lillehammer stretch forming part of the Dovre Line to Trondheim. Gjøvik is the last stop on the Gjøvik line from Oslo.
It is relatively easy to take a bicycle on board the train to/from Hamar, Lillehammer and Gjøvik. In the 'entur.no' app, you can reserve a bicycle space in advance if you are traveling with the Dovrebanen (Oslo S-Trondheim) or Gjøvikbanen (Oslo S-Gjøvik). If you are traveling by regional train or local train (RE10 Skien-Lillehammer), you unfortunately cannot pre-book a bicycle space on the train. You have to buy a bike ticket on board. In this case, it is wise to calculate some good time because you may be turned away by the conductor when the train is to crowded.

Bus and bicycle
The Mjøsa region has an excellent bus network, and most services are run by Innlandstrafikk. If you plan to use a bus operated by a different company (primarily long-distance express services), we recommend checking in advance to make sure that you can bring your bike.
When is it possible to bring bicycles on buses operated by Innlandstrafikk?
• For regional or express services, when there is room in the baggage compartment.
• On local services, when there is room in the wheelchair/pram area and the bike can be secured using straps. All local services are equipped with straps for prams, and these are to be used for bicycles as well.
How much does it cost to take your bicycle on the bus?
• Fixed price when travelling on a single ticket (NOK 25)
• When travelling on a valid season ticket, a bicycle can be taken on board free of charge if there is room.
Drivers are encouraged to take a positive approach and find a good solution for those wishing to bring their bike on the bus.
Boat and bicycle
With lake Mjøsa close by, there is also an opportunity to use a boat for parts of the round-trip and to enjoy a slow-paced journey on the lake.
Skibladner
Skibladner, Mjøsa’s White Swan, started operating on Mjøsa in 1856, and has been in scheduled service throughout the summer season ever since. It is a peaceful and relaxing way to travel, and the route covers Gjøvik, Hamar, Brumunddal, Moelv, and Lillehammer. The timetable varies slightly from day to day.
