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.
