My tip for going back to Stockholm is
– VY train to Trollhättan and then ride up along Vänern, over Kinekulle to MälartÃ¥gen where you can take the bike on the train

The journey to Stegastein and over Aurlandsfjellet was magnificent but very very taxing. Biggest climb i have ever done and i feel really proud to have made it over. The snowstorm at the top was not super great and had i not been so headstrong i might have turned back. The downside is i got no pictures on my way over but was able to take some from the bus on the way back.
Highly recommend this route because of the views. But i’m not so hype about all of the cruise ships and busses with tourists originating from FlÃ¥m. That took a bit from the experience i feel.
Still, another highlight of this summer and would recommend but later in the season then when i went there 😀
Again thank you for publishing this route!

Since this is cycle Norway i will skip the photos from the first leg Stockholm to Oslo. So i will start this first post with Rallarvegen. This is the beginning of June and the pass between Finse and Hallingskield was not passable by bike. Still an epic ride and marvelous when you have passed all of the american tourists at Myrdal. There is only a really sick road leading down to Flåm.
The contrasts in temperature was amazing. At Hagastol and Finse i felt cold(feet freezing) and had all of my warm clothes on. Then in FlÃ¥m i was super warm the whole time. The stretch didn’t too long to complete.
Big, thank you Matthew for publishing this route. ????
Definately one of the highlights of my summer.

Tried to go directly from Oslo S to Stockholm but i kept getting vague answers and strange suggestions.
So i decided to take the trakn to Trollhättan from there you can go as far as Laxå by train.
I will overnight in Lidköping and tomorrow bike to the start of Göteborgskanalen. Then we will see 🙂

Also a happy coincidence. He didnt know the road was open. But i showed him my pictures and so now he is taking the route over the mountain back.
A nice reward 🙂

I had a local tourbuss save my day and take me back to Flåm. A green bus. Then i can take the train from There ish back to Oslo.
This bus driver is a legend!

If anyone know of a way to transport the bike from Lærdal to Oslo gimmie a shout.
Will call Vy tomorrow. Accprding to their website bikes are not allowed on this stretch

Ok, super beautiful crossing and love the challenge of going uphill. Wasnt really prepared for snowing. I managed to cross but it felt a bit sketchy at times.
In Lærdal now. Heating up, brewing some coffee. Man, i made it
-
Wow!
Absolutely breathtaking. I am now in Flåm. Going to stay here for the night.
Tomorrow i hope i can continue to Lærdal. My brakes took an absolute beating today. I probably had sun for like 80% of the time. I go to bed a happy camper.
-
Tomorrow i start to make my way around. Staying in Haugastøl tonight
-
Ok so my plan is to see how far i can go. I will book accomodations in advance.
I can always take the train back to Oslo.
We will discover how far i can get this time 🙂
-
In Oslo now preparing for the next adventure. At evitas espresso bar 🙂
-
Finse and one train stop towards Flåm is too snowy.
Flåm onwards seems clear. I get a feeling however that it is hard to get any information as most of the tourist offices doesnt know about the national cyclkng route.
