Adventure Days 2025

We are back – On new ground!

2 years after the tragic fire that forced us to cancel Adventure Days in Säfsen 2023/24, we are finally back. And not only that, we have also chosen to move the event to a new location with new and exciting roads!

IN THE MIDDLE OF SCANDINAVIA

Adventure Days 2025 will be arranged in Sunne, Värmland! One of the best areas in Scandinavia for those who love gravel riding – and asphalt! Because here we also find some very nice asphalt roads!

At Adventure Days you ride your own motorcycle, and regardless what make or model* you ride, if you like gravel or asphalt, you are just as welcome!

The dates are September 11-14 and our base camp is the magnificent Selma SPA where we have booked the entire hotel for Adventure Days. In addition to a fantastic location with the views of Frykendalen, Selma SPA offers an absolutely top-class restaurant and one of the country’s most liked SPA facilities.

Those of you who have ridden with us before know that there is nothing we give higher priority than really good roads and a fantastic riding experience. But after an intense day on the motorcycle, we also appreciate a nice hotel, a good dinner and why not an hour of relaxation in a SPA!?

* The event is open to all adventure, offroad and street motorcycles – with the exception of enduro bikes made for the track (KTM EXC, Yamaha WR, Honda CR, etc.)

Self-guided tours

When you book Adventure Days, you specify whether you wish to ride Relaxed gravel tours, Active gravel tours or Asphalt tours. On top of this all tours have options that are easier/more difficult and shorter/longer.

You will get access to the tours before the event in form of tracks (.gpx) that you download to your own Garmin/BMW Motorrad navigator or navigation app. You then ride the tours together with at least one riding buddy. More information about the setup, start times and how to get in touch with riding buddies if you don’t have one will be provided closer to the event. We will also have GPS / navigation experts on site to assist you with tracks and navigation devices.

  • If you wish to ride with a professional tour guide from Ride Nordic / BMW Motorrad, see below.

RELAXED GRAVEL TOURS

Suitable for those who are new to gravel, want a slightly smoother increase in difficulty or simply just want to take it a a bit easy. We ride back country roads, some old Swedish Rally special stages and also more exciting alternatives on these tours, but more during the latter part of the event when we got some riding time and are warmed up. These tours can be ridden with street tires, but gravel tires are always recommended. If you are used to riding with a passenger on gravel, it will also works on these tours.

ACTIVE GRAVEL TOURS

Suitable for those who have experience of grabel riding. Here, it is a bit more technical gravel roads and possibly some mud, ruts and rocks. We ride back country roads, some old Swedish Rally special stages,  the occasional river crossing, forest roads and similar – in short, as exciting as it gets but still legal roads. Gravel tires are a requirement and on these tours we ride without passengers.

ASPHALT TOURS

Scenic tours on Värmland’s finest asphalt roads! These tours are suitable for everyone and in addition to nice roads, we have also taken the tours past some unique areas that we think you will appreciate! These tours goes 100% on asphalt and can also be ridden with passengers.

  • If you are unsure about which tours you want to ride – choose what you think will be right – if it turns out to be wrong, just talk to our team and we will help you change.

Guided tours

If you choose to ride with one of our professional tour guides from Ride Nordic / BMW Motorrad, your tour guide will be available for you the entire event. From when you meet up on the first evening to where and when you start each day, where and when you eat lunch & dinner, etc.

During the tours, we stop at a few times and talk about things like rider position, line of vision, corenering etc. Your tour guide will also give you valuable feedback along the rides, so you become an even better and safer rider. The tour guide will adjust the route to suit you and your group perfectly.

With a tour guide, we ride in smaller groups of approx. 6-12 participants. Your tour guide will also coordinate so you ride the GS-Experience together.

  • Please note that we only have a limited number of places available for riding with tour guide, price stated in the booking.

Daily riding challenges

During the gravel tours we will also pass some Daily Riding Challenges where you have the opportunity to test yourself and your motorcycle a little extra! It could be, for example, a motocross track we have booked, a ski slope where we have built a track or similar. There are no competitive elements in this, just a fun bonus for those who want to try their limits in a controlled environment.

  • These challenges are located along the route but are of course optional, but for those of you who want an extra challenge they are an exciting bonus!
