Quick ride by bicycle from Lysaker to Sjølyststranda

This easy-going cycle route takes you from Lysaker, a bustling business and transport hub just west of Oslo, over to the lively waterfront at Sjølyststranda. Clocking in at just over 4 km and with more descent than ascent, it’s mostly gentle riding—perfect for a casual spin or a commute with scenic value.

You’ll roll mostly along cycleways and quiet roads (asphalt almost the whole way!), so it’s comfortable whether you’re a regular rider or just out for a pleasant cruise. Lysaker itself is known for its riverside paths and modern vibe, while Sjølyststranda is your reward at the end: think sandy patches, open views of the Oslofjord, and plenty of people out enjoying the sea air. Grab a coffee, settle onto the rocks, and watch the boats go by—it’s a great way to cap off your ride!
