Rallarvegen Is Open

What is now one of Norway's most famous cycling routes began as a practical mountain road for the workers who built the Bergen Railway more than 100 years ago. Named after the “rallare” who spent years carving a railway through rugged terrain, Rallarvegen carries a rich history around every bend.

Long before it became a favourite among cyclists, the road was used to transport materials and supplies to remote railway worksites across the mountains. Today, thousands of riders follow the same path each summer, swapping hard hats for helmets as they cycle through spectacular landscapes and enjoy views that have changed little over the past century.

Current Rallarvegen conditions: Rallarvegen is now open, and the full route is rideable. Most of the trail is dry and in good condition, though there are still a few washed-out sections and some lingering snow patches between Finse and Hallingskeid. You'll likely need to hop off and walk your bike across a handful of these snowy stretches, so waterproof shoes and a little extra time are well worth packing. The good news? Cyclists who've ridden it over the past few days say the crossings are manageable, and with the mountains looking spectacular, the extra effort is all part of the adventure.
