The National Parks of Hallingskarvet and Hardangervidda is only a stone's throw away, and the possibilities are many either you start from the city center or catch the summer lift to the top. Are you in for a real kick, we suggest doing some rafting on the Numedalslågen river, one of Europes best rafting rivers. Geilo Summer Park is another option, here you find biketrails, climbing parks, and a 1100 meters long zipline from the top of Vestlia.

The Navvies Road

Geilo is a good spot to start if you want to experience the Navvies Road- the most beautiful bike ride in Norway. This road takes you through astonishing landscapes. The trail starts from Haugastøl, and you may reach Haugastøl by train or by car. Some take the train to Finse and start there to shorten the trail by an hour or so. Most people buy a package including train tickets and bikes. In that case, the Rallarvegen suited bike is picked up at Finse and is delivered back at the station in Flåm at the end of the trip.
