Another great video! I'm so happy that you, Matthew, have come to Norway and created all these amazing videos. Please stay here forever and keep making more!

Wow. Thank you thank you. I rode the Rallarvegen in Sept 2023 as part of a ~300 mile loop from Bergen and this film brought it all back for me. I'll be sharing this video with my biker friends here in the US!!

Fun fact about Finse... Or Hoth as some movie fans know it as, they filmed a few scenes of a movie there back in the days before CGI. They wanted a place with lots of snow and no visible signs of civilisation such as roads or telephone poles. They got enough snow... the train got stuck in the snow. A lot of the actors were locals, and some still have their costumes hanging on a wall.

Thx for 5 star content. Your video is amazing and well-explained. i am a Norwegian living at the West Coast and know this are very well. I enjoyed watching this and am planning another trip to Rallarvegen next summer.

That is some of the most incredible scenery I have ever seen. Time to start making some plans! 😁

[Astap]

We have ridden the track this August, and it is the best trip I have ever had. Even though I broke a finger half-way, I finished it and have 0 regrets!. I almost cried watching the video 😂
Thank you for all the videos, Norway is amazing!

Great stuff. Fanitullvegen is also a great link between Mjølkevegen and Rallarvegen :)

Did the 430km larger loop some years ago (includes Valdres and Hemsedal), highly recommended!

[PeterOldwood]

Funny, I planned that route just using Google Maps and Street View some years ago and now you filmed it. From Haugastol to Flam and after sleepover, up to Laerdal to Borgund and then north to Ovre Ardal where we sleep again. That's just two days of my two-week tour in Norway. Thanks, nice to see the places where we'll be cycling soon.

[frankvermeulen]

Thanks for the spectacular sights, Matt. Have a happy new year. 👍

[tuskenmax]

what a pleasure to always watch your adventures Matthew! incredible!

[rascal]

Great video. I’ve ridden the route to Flam from Haugastol on four occasions. Now I know how to extend my ride. Thanks for sharing.
