It’s still a long time until the Rallarvegen season begins, but here’s a brief status report. As many might have noticed, there is less snow in the mountains than usual. This makes us cautiously optimistic about an early season start. However, from experience, we know that it’s the weather and temperature in the coming months that are most crucial. There could still be freezing temperatures and additional snow in May, which would delay the start.

Below you’ll find our predictions for when the different sections might become passable.

Haugastøl-Finse

The first 10 km are usually cleared at the beginning of May, so they should be passable by mid-May. The full stretch to Finse is expected to be snow-free between the 15th and 30th of June.

Finse-Hallingskeid

Currently, we believe this section might be passable, with some snowdrifts, by the beginning of July.

Hallingskeid-Vatnahalsen

Most likely passable by the end of June.

Vatnahalsen-Flåm

This section is cleared at the beginning of May, so we anticipate it will be ready by approximately the 10th of May.

Our bike rental in Flåm is scheduled to open on the 2nd of May, Haugastøl on the 23rd of June (for cycling between Haugastøl and Finse), and Finse on the 4th of July.

Additional Information:

We strongly encourage being mindful during your bike tour. You will be cycling through a protected area rich in wildlife and cultural heritage. Everything you bring with you on the trip should be taken back with you. If you wish to camp along the way, please respect the environment, wildlife, and nearby cabins.

Rallarvegen is largely unsecured, and there can be significant drops at times. Keep your speed down, stay alert, take your time, and enjoy everything along the way.
