Itinerary description
|
First of all, I did this route in late August (28ht-30th August), but it shows December. There's no way to do it in December.
Route with incredible views to glaciers and almost arctic landscapes in its highest part. In the town of Finse there is a shelter where you can eat and drink. Alternatively, there's no shortage of water along the route, you can drink water from the streams that fall into the lakes. Although it could be done in one day, I'd recommend to divide it into two days to better appreciate the beauty of the scenery. At the end, you reach the fjord in the city of Flam. There is a company that rents bicycles in Haugastol (departure point) and in Flam (arrival), and the price is around € 30 per day (in the year 2012). The first night we camped by a lake. We spent the second night at a campsite in Flam.
First, I made this at the end of August (from 28 to 30) and not in December as it appears. It would be impossible to do it in December.
It is a route with incredible views of glaciers and almost arctic landscapes in its highest part. In the town of Finse there is a shelter where you can eat and drink, although at very expensive prices. You can drink water from the streams that fall into the lakes and, although it can be done in a day, it is advisable to divide it in two days to better appreciate the beauty of the route. At the end, you reach the fjord in the city of Flam. There is a company that rents bicycles in Haugastol (departure point) and in Flam (arrival), and they leave around 30 € per day. The first night we camped on the same route. The second was spent in a campsite in Flam.

Hi Joseshka!
Im planning to cross Norway through gravel roads and trails from Tromso to Oslo..Is this Rallarvegen you did connected in the north and the south? Is part of a bigger network?

Hola, tengo una duda porque yo quiero hacer la ruta en junio y parece que puede haber bastante nieve. ¿Tú la hiciste en diciembre sin problemas?
Hola, Felipe. Perdona, ahí pone que es diciembre, pero en realidad la hice en agosto, a finales (del 28 al 30). En junio es posible que haya mucha nieve todavía, sí. Gracias por avisarme, acabo de modificar esa información en la descripción.
