Rallarvegen

Rallar
3 Days / 4 locations in Norway

Wild and beautiful Norwegian west coast nature with sheltered fjords, verdant valleys, spectacular waterfalls and rushing river rapids. The contrast and experiences are wide ranging and just must be experienced to be believed!

Rallarvegen is the most popular bicycling route in Norway offering both an historical and close to nature adventure. The road was hand made and was used as a transport route from 1895-1902 during the building of the Bergenbanen railway. All along the route you will come across preserved cultural treasures from this period such as railway workers barracks and stone bridges.The road is 123km in length and the scenery varies immensely from Arctic high mountain nature across the Hardangervidda to verdant Flamsdalen valley and the wild west coast. Flamsdalen and Flamsbanen are an adventure in itself with lots of waterfalls! Well down in Flam it can be exciting to visit a local brewery!
