Day 4
Cycling on Rallarvegen (the Rallar Road) from Finse to Flåm
You will take the train from Voss station to Finse station this morning. The journey takes about an hour. Located in the small mountain village of Finse, this station is 1222 meters above sea level. The views of the plateau stretch for kilometers and you can get a glimpse of the ice cap and icefalls of the Hardangerjøkulen glacier. Your cycling trip on Rallarvegen, the most beautiful cycling route, starts here.
The Rallarvegen construction route was initially built to transport materials during the construction of the Oslo-Bergen railway line. The road runs parallel to the Bergen Railway. Today, the road is a cultural and historical landmark and a popular trail for bicyclists.
Rallarvegen is a 57-kilometer-long bicycle trip that takes you through typical Norwegian alpine scenery, glaciers, mountain lakes, and streams. The route winds through a stunning high mountain landscape, rising from 1000 meters above sea level and peaking at 1350 meters before going down to sea level at Flam. You will make different stops along the way, including Hardangervidda national park, Lake Fagervatnet and Vatnahalsen.
A must-stop is at Fagernut Rallarcafe to eat homemade waffles. Refilled with energy, you continue the ride down to Flam. A steep track involving 21 hairpin curves will lead you down to the Flamsdalen valley from Vatnahalsen. We encourage you to dismount at the sharpest portions of the hairpin turns because the road is rough and in bad condition in some spots. As you approach the valley, the landscape changes from mountains to beautiful fjord surroundings in Flam.
Flam is located deep in the Aurlandsfjorden, an arm of the fjord connecting the Sognefjorden.
From Flam you continue to Aurland where you will check in at the hotel. Today´s ride will take around 6 hours.
Every year, almost 1 million visitors visit Aurland for the stunning fjords, tourist sites in Flam, and picturesque walks in the Norwegian countryside.
After exploring the area independently, you will join the group for a culinary experience at XX this evening.
