The rambie from the barren mountain plateau by the Swedish border to the Ofoten fjord is relaxing and scenic. This is truly a great hike across Norway.
A train ride along Norway's northernmost railway line takes you from Narvik to the starting point. Travelling through a beautitul and wild landscape with mighty mountain peaks and cascading waterfalls, you will be biessed with a jaw-dropping view over the Arctic fjord. Crossing the border more than 500 metres above sea levet, the train arrives at Riksgransen Station.
The old supply road, known as the Navvy Road, was built during the late 1800s in connection with the construction of the Ofoten Railway between Kiruna and Narvik. The 16-kilometre trail is in good condition and suitable for trips both on foot and by bike. In 1997 the Navvy Road was voted Norway's best open-air area.
A local guide will join you on this amazing journey, telling you the story behind the road, the railway and the mythical navvy culture. The trail ends up in Rombaksbotn, where a small village grew during the construction of the railway. The settlement does not exist anymore, but the area still offers beautiful scenery and a fascinating cultural heritage.
Boat transport back to Narvik will add an unforgettable finale to this astonishing Arctic excursion.
