Rallar Package

"Rallarvegen" – The Navvies Road

Cycling Rallarvegen, the Navvies Road, is one of the most popular cycling routes in Norway and is feasible for most people who are used to bicycling. Start by catching the train to Finse along the railway line between Oslo and Bergen and ride on the old construction road across the mountains and down to Flåm by the fjord in a day.

Is this on your bucket list? Book Fretheim Hotel’s Rallar Package as part of the adventure, and you well sleep well in historical surroundings, taste delicious food, and be met with an after bike with a local brew of your choice and cured meat in the Lobby bar after cycling.

Bike rental and train tickets are not included in the accommodation package.

Need to rent a bike for your trip?

If you are not bringing your own bike, you have the option to rent men's, women's, children's or electric bikes in both Finse and Flåm.

Please note that bike transport capacity on the train is limited, and a separate ticket is required for your bike. Before departure in Flåm, bikes must be tagged at the customer service desk – make sure to allow enough time.

Indulge yourself

Recharge your body and mind after an unforgettable day cycling through the breathtaking Norwegian mountains. As you conquer one of the most scenic routes, treat yourself to a well-deserved “after-bike” experience featuring the award-winning local brew, Ægir, perfectly paired with a platter of locally sourced, salt-cured meats.

As the evening sets in, unwind further with a delightful dinner in a stunning setting, complemented by exceptional service and comfortable accommodations. It’s the perfect blend of adventure, relaxation, and culinary delight in the heart of Norway.

Practical information about Rallarvegen

You are heading up into the mountains, and it wouldn’t be unusual for you to encounter snowdrifts - even in the middle of summer. So we recommend you carry decent clothing with you, ideally layered as you’ll find it gets warmer as you approach the fjord.

The easiest thing to do is hire a bike at Finse and return it in Flåm. You can also hire a bike in Flåm and take it with you on the train up to Finse, or take along your own bike. Remember that there’s coarse gravel on this route at times, so leave the racing bike at home.

The recommended lower age limit is 12, but younger children may also enjoy the experience if they’re experiences cyclists. Sitting in a bike trailer on this road, which is bumpy and covered in coarse gravel at times, would on the other hand not be a pleasant experience.
