The Midsundtrappene, a popular hiking trail on Otrøya in Midsund, Norway, was built by Sherpas from Nepal. These skilled craftsmen are renowned for their expertise in constructing stone paths and staircases in mountainous regions and have been hired for several similar projects in Norway. Work on the Midsundtrappene began in 2016 and has continued in multiple phases since then, making the trail more accessible and offering spectacular views. the Sherpas who work on building stairs and trails in Norway, including the Midsund Steps, often earn more than they would by working as guides on Mount Everest. The work in Norway offers more stable and safer working conditions compared to the dangerous and often precarious conditions on Everest. Additionally, the construction projects in Norway provide longer contracts and a more consistent income stream, which is an advantage compared to the seasonal nature of guiding work on Everest.
@MagnusThornberg Thanks for that info about the Sherpas. I came to the comments to say props to the trail builders. It was amazing to see Remy carrying his bike - they carried boulders!
It's great that it benefits both the Sherpas, and it helps the surrounding nature because people use the stairs mainly, which helps spare the nature next to the trail from being trampled.
Wow Remy! The longer I watch you ride down those stairs, the more I shake my head that you carried your bike all the way up! How you had any strength left to ride down is amazing. Well done.
That's freaking sick Bro!!!!! I dont know how the hell both of you held on all the way down without stopping ....... Hats off to both of you..... Just amazing!!!!!! Ride safe Remy!!!!
GREAT vid Rémy- Esp. the section at 10.50 onwards- that tech was super gnar. Even allowing for GoPro effect, it's easy to get an idea of how steep and demanding this stair run is. Really like the perspective footage when you walked a section too, and looked back up- Awesome. One of the most gripping videos I have watched from you. (Along w the run down that cliffside w the dude in a sailsuit whipping past your left side!).
Awesome guys!! I too luv to ride challenging stuff like this. I like the fact that you only do calculated risks because of the big consequences involved.You guys are incredible riders. You inspire me to push my nown limits when riding. Keep it roll'n bro!
I can't imagine how much stress this puts on brakes. Constant riding at controlled grip... Wow! I would probably need an extra set of break pads... and arms😅
2200... I thought it was much more. "The Midsundtrappene hike in Norway consists of approximately 2,200 stone steps. This hike, located on the island of Otrøya in Midsund, is known for its beautiful stone staircase built by Nepalese Sherpas, leading up to the Rørsethornet peak, offering stunning views of the surrounding landscape."
No, that's only one part of it. Midsundtrappene consist of appx 10.000 steps from the very bottom to the top. Edit; it's 3292 steps, and combined with other paths it's appx 10.000 steps all together. It feels like 10.000 when you hike it though 😅 never ending, but the reward is great (until you have to walk back down which is almost worse than going up)
Remy, I'm glad you are not taking unwanted risks now..... Thats what riding is all bout..... if theres risk, always try to avoid and wank you way, because it will save your tomorrow to ride your bike again.
Rémy, tu es complètement fou!!! lolll Non sérieux, c'est énrome cet endroit et de toute beauté....wow!!! Bon test pour les pneux, roues, suspensions, freins, etc... fiouuuuuuu
Wow! That was gnarly af!😮 Over 9000 steps. Very well done!👌🏻 Next stop Niesentreppe, Switzerland. 11674 steps and about 1600 height meters. That would be insane!😅
Definitely a stair set of Doom as Pilgrim would say. Just out of curiosity, did you ramp up the Low-speed compression at all on your fork or shock for the stairs?
What skills do you suggest developing to become better at mountain biking? Are there any workouts you suggest that target the muscles used for mountain biking? What bike do you suggest / use currently? I ask all of this because I am somewhat new to mtb-ing, only having done it for ~5 years and only ever having been able to do it at extremely limited trails that do not offer much challenge. You are an amazing biker and I would love to learn how to become better at mountain biking since it is a sport I am passionate about.
Wow this video makes Red Bull Skygate and Montserrat. urban DH race look like a normal set of stairs on the streets it is that gnarly highlights. for me was at 3:37 an 11:07 kids don’t try that at home breaking. and turning on stairs at the same time it’s a very tricky skill to master

They definitely did an amazing job here. Now I wanna hike this place!
It's great that it benefits both the Sherpas, and it helps the surrounding nature because people use the stairs mainly, which helps spare the nature next to the trail from being trampled.
Not to mention that the steps reduce erosion from thousands of hikers. Can't imagine what this ride would do to a normal person.
The builders also expressed their will that this should be hiked only, not biked.
"Careful master, careful! Very far to fall!"
Even Frodo, Sam and Gollum didn't have to hike up so many stairs.
Insane footage as always, Rémy!
Wow Remy! The longer I watch you ride down those stairs, the more I shake my head that you carried your bike all the way up! How you had any strength left to ride down is amazing. Well done.
more fun at 2x speed 🤣
That's freaking sick Bro!!!!! I dont know how the hell both of you held on all the way down without stopping ....... Hats off to both of you..... Just amazing!!!!!! Ride safe Remy!!!!
Thats one hell of a stair set of doom thats gnarly. You are the man!
"I could do it, but I just don't feel like it." :D Loved that
I rarely comment on youtube videos but this, this is heaven! What a ride!
Thank you!
Terbang gak sihh
My nerves are in shreds just watching an unbelievable decent with amazing speed at the end , well worth the watch .😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thats complete stair insanity!! The fact you guys walked it definitely means its crazy!!
Amazing descent. Amazing riding. A few camera glimpses from below some sections shows how insanely steep this is. Just wow.
The ultimate stairset of Doom ... Sam Pilgrim would love it 😮🎉 great job
but he´d lose another tooth!
Hope you recovered well from that crash. Took it like a champ!
just imagine how hard it was to build that path

Insane! I can’t never do those stairs! All the energy going up then going down it would make it very difficult! Kudos 😊
Awesome guys!! I too luv to ride challenging stuff like this. I like the fact that you only do calculated risks because of the big consequences involved.You guys are incredible riders. You inspire me to push my nown limits when riding. Keep it roll'n bro!
Not sure what’s more impressive
Hiking up or hiking down 👍 amazing vid as usual
Wow!! That view. Awesome video. Thanks for sharing. 👍
Thanks for visiting
Cool to see you ride alpine trail like this. Definitely an other type of riding than the one you do in Canada, really liked it.
Crazy!
Your control is so impressive!
Unbelievable!!! I wouldn't even dream about taking a bike down that trail.
great riding...great capture...scariest of your videos I've watched so far
Perfect timing, got back from work, time to chill with brother Rémy
Merci 👍
Absolutely amazing video!!!! So beautiful and so terrifying all in one!
Impressionnant de maîtrise dans le placement du vélo et dans le contrôle du freinage. Epic!
Wow, that was great! Your riding skills are awesome!!!
What a place!!! Magic!! Great job guys! 🤘
The most beautiful trail ever! Now I have a new dream - to descend Digergubben by bike. I love Norway! Great job Remy :)
I can't imagine how much stress this puts on brakes. Constant riding at controlled grip... Wow! I would probably need an extra set of break pads... and arms😅
wow!! would be curious to know the temperature of both shocks after the stairs!
Wow ! Incroyable endroit, merci pour la découverte et bravo pour la descente (mais aussi pour la montée qui n'a pas due être une partie de plaisir)
Crazy lads. Respect
That view is stunning😮💨
I'm pretty sure I had heart failure a few times watching that! Epic!!

Something for Sam Pilgrim. DOOOOOM!
The doomer to end all doomers
Doooooom it, doom iiiiiit
the ultimate stair set of doom
On a dirt jumper
With only a rear brake.
Unreal footage!! 👀Stunning! 🔥💚🙏🏼
From this footage you can clearly see that the Earth is indeed round.
Queria ver eles no final pulando dentro d'água numa 100% descida rara.
Ah yes, my grandparents' old commute to school!
Increíble! Solo los endureros saben la difícil de bajar por éstos sitios! Felicidades
unreal. Incredible view
Wow! That’s amazing ride!
Norway Bjorge 😂😂 Awesome footage!
If I had a VR I would be watching your videos all day long
Grew up watching Gully, very cool dude! Looks like an unreal trip haha!
Remy, I'm glad you are not taking unwanted risks now..... Thats what riding is all bout..... if theres risk, always try to avoid and wank you way, because it will save your tomorrow to ride your bike again.
I could never do this because I would never hike my bike up there!!! 🤪 Absolutely insane!
How long did it take to get to the top?
1h30 maybe
Insane! That is the only word to describe you and that downhill ride.
I can feel that arm pump burning as hell😮
Rémy, tu es complètement fou!!! lolll Non sérieux, c'est énrome cet endroit et de toute beauté....wow!!! Bon test pour les pneux, roues, suspensions, freins, etc... fiouuuuuuu
Wow! That was gnarly af!😮
Over 9000 steps. Very well done!👌🏻
Next stop Niesentreppe, Switzerland. 11674 steps and about 1600 height meters. That would be insane!😅
How long did it take you to get to the top while carrying the bike?
That view is amazing id love to go there
Remy - always punching the fist bump 😂
Absolutely insane.
Such a cool ride
Man, riding a literal ribbon down with crazy exposure on both sides. Any mistake or a random gust of wind and it’s all over. Well done, Remy!
Incredible view
Absolutely amazing! Imagine how long it took to build that too!
The fact your even riding after that tree is insane to me same week too
Wow man...There were a few moments there when I was scared!
Such an incredible view remind me beckgrounds from PC games))
So cool!
Unreal View! 🤯
Doesn't that ruin the stairs?
*"Get Off The Sidewalk, er, RIDGELINE Staircase/Walkway...!!!"*
*"Stay Off The Lawn...!!!"*
Wow! That was ridiculous!
That was bananas.
Omg I get 🦋 in my stomach just watching the exposure 🤭
How do you deal with not freaking out on that exposure?
Wow. Dream ride.
Unbelievable Remy
22:20, you stated going very fast there Rémy, looked fun but also scary :).
Just. Wow!
best of the internet!
Where in Norway is this, just hiking up without rucking a bike up. Then Down, really you both insane.
Yeah buddy! insanity!!!
Это очень опасный трейл, можно и ногами пройти для безопасти. Очень круто
This is insane Remy!
Definitely a stair set of Doom as Pilgrim would say. Just out of curiosity, did you ramp up the Low-speed compression at all on your fork or shock for the stairs?
Crazy man !
Beautifful place, awesome..
I cant believe you hiked a bike all the way up that mountain??:O
what a view imagin how it looks when your eysight wobbles
Instagram vs. reality @4:27 😂 Epic ride guys!
just... WOW

Freakin nuts!
Incoyable 👌👍
The view
Wow this video makes Red Bull Skygate and Montserrat. urban DH race look like a normal set of stairs on the streets it is that gnarly
highlights. for me was at 3:37 an 11:07 kids don’t try that at home breaking. and turning on stairs at the same time it’s a very tricky skill to master
Oh my good 😳
Looks like my next hiking trip. How were the costs there relative to the Canadian dollar?
Similar cost of living as us
Thanks. Sherpas in Norway. Who knew?
Who built that, how many tons, and how long did that path take to build?
That view is beautiful 😍
