After more than six years, I finally returned to Norway. My vacation already started with the first highlight: a two-day bike trip on Rallarvegen – even with bright sunshine (at least on the first day)! What more could you ask for?

We biked from Haugastøl (1000 meters above sea level) along the Hardangervidda (with views of the Hardangerjøkulen glacier) over Finse to Hallingskeid, where we spent the night.

The next day, we continued to Myrdal. From there, we descended into the Flåmsdalen all the way to the bottom of the valley (and hence to sea level). From Flåm, we returned with the Flåmbana to Myrdal. From there, we caught the Bergensbanen back to Bergen.
