    Rallarvegen – Norway’s most beautiful ride? – Indoor Cycling Training



    Rallarvegen is Norway’s most popular bike ride. It is regarded by many to be the most spectacular bike ride in Norway. The route follows the railway and is named after the construction workers building the railway. The total length is 82 km / 51 miles. This ride follows the most popular segment of Rallarvegen (Navvies road), which starts at the train station in the beautifully located town of Flåm. From here you move up the valley along the railway and the river. Along the way, there are many spectacular waterfalls and the scenery is simply jaw-dropping. Two-thirds into the ride, you cross a river and get to a very popular goat farm serving goat’s cheese and sausages. This is a good place to stop and enjoy the local food. If you have a good grip on your bike and strong legs, then you can continue up the notorious Myrdal turns. The Myrdal turns is a set of very steep hairpins. The average gradient of 17.4 percent is just one factor that makes this segment difficult. What is making this climb almost impossible is the surface that consists of loose gravel. So there is a reason most cyclists take the train up and ride down. As you complete the hair-pins, you continue your ride up to your final destination Myrdal train station.

    Just add music:
    Most cyclists would agree that the ride to Col du Tourmalet is outstanding. But with music, opinions are very mixed. So we have added no music. Instead, we recommend adding your favorite music to the ride. It is quite simple. Mute YouTube and open a browser window. Find a site that offers music (Spotify, YouTube, etc…) and pick the music you like, and enjoy the ride…

      Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!! Exactly what I've been looking for. I have to 'ride' indoors in the winter, I LOVE this ride, and how it does not have music to it. I like hearing the water, the changing of gears, the wind in my ears………. I will check out your app.

      I watch the way beside mointains, rivers and waterfalls free of noises and smoker motor vehicles (just only the train). Really a pleasure. Of course, one of the most beatifull pieces of Bike the World.

      That was the absolute most beautiful ride/walk I have ever seen. It took me 2 workouts to get it done but I am over 50 and just started exercising again. The 2nd day I would incline treadmill if you were going uphill and I decline and speed my pace on down hill it was fun really. Thank you so much for this beautiful tour

      This amazing! Such beauty and splendour. That last 1/2 hour! Up until that I thought I’d love to do this myself, maybe not! If I can ask, how much did your trip for this route cost? I live in England and would need to hire a bike..Thanks, it’s a great video!

      I saw the website you mentione and Im definitely considering a subscription in the near future. I have trouble riding safely outside, so i'm electing to do indoor cycling at the gym, but still want to feel like i'm just cruising and exploring. Thank you!

      Hey, just watched your outdoor cycling video and it was fantastic! Really loved the way you captured the essence of cycling in the beautiful outdoors. As an avid ebike user, I recently came across a new crowdfunding project called freebeat Morph 2-in-1 e-Bike that blew me away. One of the standout features is the ability to charge the bike while using it indoors, which is a game-changer! The Morph eBike's brushless 750W motor, 80Nm torque, and top speed of 20mph are truly impressive. Plus, the 80mm front suspension and puncture-resistant tires ensure a smooth ride on any terrain. Can't wait to try it out myself! Keep up the great work and keep us updated on the crowdfunding progress!
