Cycle the scenic Mountain to Fjord route
Embark on an adventure along the iconic Rallarvegen - "The Navvies Road", one of Norway’s most breathtaking cycling routes!
This 57 km stretch, from Finse to Flåm, takes you through a stunning landscape of glaciers, mountain lakes, and rushing streams. Starting at 1000 meters above sea level and descending to sea level in Flåm, the route offers spectacular views and is suitable for cyclists with some experience.
As part of this package, you’ll stay at the historic Fretheim Hotel, nestled in the heart of Flåm and surrounded by some of Norway’s most scenic landscapes. Flåm is easily accessible by the Bergen Railway from Bergen or Oslo, with a transfer at Myrdal to the famous Flåm Railway, or by bus via Voss. Upon arrival, enjoy a peaceful stroll through the picturesque surroundings before sitting down to a delicious dinner at the hotel.
On day two, you have the freedom to choose how to begin your cycling adventure. You can start directly from the hotel and cycle towards Finse, or take the train to Myrdal and continue to Finse. If you don’t have your own bike, don’t worry—you can rent one at the Flåm station and take it on the train with you. Be sure to book your bike ticket in advance.
Rallarvegen will guide you through majestic mountain scenery, with opportunities to pause and take in the panoramic views of the towering peaks and the impressive Hardangerjøkulen glacier. About 10 km west of Finse, you’ll find Fagernut, a historic station keeper’s cabin from the time of the Bergen Railway. Here, enjoy a relaxing break with coffee, waffles, and mineral water.
Upon reaching Flåm, drop off your bike at the station and take a short walk back to Fretheim Hotel. Here, you’ll be welcomed with a delicious "Afterbike" menu featuring local beer and cured meats. In the evening, indulge in a buffet dinner—perfect for recharging after an active day exploring the Norwegian countryside.
After a day of adventure, relax in your comfortable room and reflect on the unforgettable experience. The following morning, start your day with a delicious breakfast before exploring Flåm or continuing your journey. For those wanting to extend their stay, we recommend a fjord cruise on the stunning Nærøyfjord, an exhilarating ride on the Flåm Zipline, or a hike in the Aurlandsdalen valley. Be sure to stop by Flåm Bakery for freshly baked goods.

The weather in the mountains can change rapidly, even during the summer, so it’s advisable to pack warm clothing and layers. Temperatures may vary as you descend towards the fjord. Also, keep in mind that Rallarvegen is a gravel road, so a road bike is not the ideal choice for this route.
The best time to experience this tour is between June and October. Check the weather forecast for Rallarvegen here.
