If you prefer cycling, rent a bike from one of the local bike rental shops in Molde. Start from the city center and head towards the waterfront, cycling along the path by the shore.

The bike ride will take you to the base of the trails, but remember that you will need to leave your bike at the designated bike parking area before starting your hike to the cabin.
