Introducing Finse
Heading west from Geilo, the railway line climbs 600m through a tundra-like landscape of lakes and snowy peaks to Finse, lying at 1222m near the Hardangerjøkulen icecap. This region offers nordic skiing in winter and hiking in summer, not to mention what could be Norway’s steepest mountain bike ride.
