Snow at the side of Rallarvegen, near its peak

A view, from near the peak of Rallarvegen, and downward, toward Slirå. There is some snow very close to Rallarvegen. The period one can bicycle the distance Finse–Kvinå is short. From around July 15 to September 15. In 2006, the first bicyclist tried to bicycle that distance on June 28, and he had to carry his bicycle through the snowdrifts.
