Itinerary description

|
Show original
After having breakfast in the refuge and going out into the street we see that the day is very unpleasant, cloudy, discontinuous rain and a strong wind that produces a lot of cold sensation. The first kilometers are in slight rise (before the dizzying descent to Flam) to reach the maximum level of the Rallarvegen to more than 1,300 m and this is noted in the amount of snow that sometimes cuts the road, so we continuously have to get off the bike and walk. The landscape is impressive, lakes with blocks of ice, snowy mountains and endless rivers and waterfalls.
Once downhill, we passed the set of houses of Hallingskeid and shortly after by the Ravine Klevagjelet, where the water rushes with great force due to the steep slope; here the road is protected with railings and it is advisable to do it walking or very carefully.
We went through the Highland Vatnahalsen hotel and then, on a steep descent with many curves, we reached the Flam Valley. Little by little, as the altitude changes, the landscape changes, the snow disappearing and the foliage of the vegetation increases; Shortly before reaching Flam, we passed the beautiful Rjoandefossen waterfall. We camped at a Flam campsite for 231 NOK.
