You step off the open chairlift into a thin, cold air that smells faintly of spruce and machine oil, the valley below a patchwork of fields and dark forest. Staff hand over a full‑face helmet and goggles, show a heavy, low‑slung tricycle with wide tires and a simple handbrake, then point to the polished racing line carved into the hillside: 570 metres of lift gain, 670 metres of prepared descent, and the grin that follows.

History
Dagali evolved from mountain farming and winter sports; the use of ski‑area lifts for summer gravity activities is a modern adaptation of that infrastructure.
Conservation
Operators keep the course within existing ski‑area clearings to limit new vegetation loss and ask riders to stay on the prepared slope to reduce erosion.
Reserve your spot on the Racing Mountain Cart in Dagali near Geilo, Norway today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Wear sturdy, closed shoes
High‑grip footwear helps you brace and control the cart during sharp turns; avoid sandals or slick soles.
Mind the limits
Observe the minimum height (150 cm), minimum age (12) and maximum weight (100 kg) — staff will enforce these for safety.
Bring a waterproof layer
The course drains quickly but rain makes the slope slick; a packable shell keeps you comfortable between runs.
Use the full‑face helmet
A full‑face helmet and goggles are provided — use them every run to protect against rocks, branches and low light glare.
Sturdy hiking shoes
Provide grip and foot stability when steering and bracing in corners.
Packable waterproof jacket
Keeps you dry and warm between runs in showery spring conditions.
